In films, TV shows, videogames and advertisements, the songs of Roy Orbison enjoy continued exposure in the United States and international markets. Three films that opened in October feature Orbison's hits. The satirical presidential biopic "W." from director Oliver Stone features "Claudette." Director Robby Ben- son's film "Billy: The Early Years," about the preacher Billy Graham, features "In Dreams." And the Disney film "Bev- erly Hills Chihuahua" plays with "Oh, Pretty Woman." "Oh, Pretty Woman," Orbison's most successful single, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in 1964, is featured in the videogames "Slingstar," "Guitar Hero," "Lips" and "Atari Karaoke." It's also heard in an American Express ad in and two commercials in Japan: one for Mitsubishi and another for Osaka Gas. When Sony/ATV Music Publishing acquired Famous Music from Viacom in June 2007, among the songs included in the deal were those of Orbison. "Roy Orbison represents a unique portion of the history of contemporary music," Sony /ATV Music Publishing chair- man /CEO Martin Bandier says. "At a time when songs and artists get slotted into specific genres, Roy's music con- tinues to cross all boundaries.

It's a return to the time that a CD boxed set would stir the fans, historians and collectors among us to say, "Oh, wow!" It offers a complete portrait as you'll find of one of rock's seminal artists. It's got all the hits and signature tunes from the '60s ( "Only the Lonely," "Runnin' Scared," "Crying" "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Blue Bayou," "Love Hurts," "In Dreams ") and the '80s ( "You Got It," "California Blue ").

Or a fist- ful of unreleased demos from the late '50s, including such titles as "Bad Cat," "Love Storm" and "Defeated." The last two songs appear to be the missing links between the expected bravado of Orbison's Sun record- ings and the astonishing vulnerability that he would so peerlessly express on the mature Monument Recordings he began to make with producer Fred Foster around 1960.

R&B BY GAIL MITCHELL People People Brandy Breaks Four -Year Hiatus With Epic Debut

You can't blame Brandy for being a little nervous stepping back into the recording studio. Four years have elapsed since the release of her fourth album, "Afrodisiac." And it has been just two years since her headline- making car accident in which another driver died. "Once you get into a zone, it's hard to come out," says Brandy, who will not face criminal charges but still faces a wrongful - death lawsuit that goes to trial in April. "What I experienced in the past couple of years was tough, but I had to face it and find the strength to move forward. Connecting back with music has definitely helped me through everything. Once I got back in the studio, the butterflies went away." Music's uplifting power provided the thematic undercurrent for "Human," due Dec. 9 from Koch /Epic. The project reunites Brandy with songwriter /producer , who first worked with the singer on her 1998 multiplatinum sophomore set, "Never Say Never." Jerkins, the executive producer of "Human," also produced the first two singles: the uptempo "Right Here (Departed)" and "Long Distance," a ballad co- produced with . "We have great musical chemistry," Jerkins says. " ' Departed' was the first song we did together after reuniting. And that says a lot: Most of the time you don't find the single until you're at the end of a project."

BMI president /CEO Del Bryant. cation courses that many other kids his age were offered. "I hardly had any musical opportunities in high school," Turner says, noting that larger high schools had chorus and band classes. After high school, Turner moved to Nashville, where he enrolled at Belmont University to further explore writing music. The experience was a "shellshock, because a lot of the students around me had done that stuff in their high school classes," he recalls. "I'd never heard of some of this stuff, so it was like learning a foreign language to me." Later, during a recording session for his 2007 album "Everything Is Fine," Turner and producer Frank Rogers dis- cussed their music experiences from high school. From that discussion, the deep- voiced singer "thought it would be really good if I could create a music fund" to assist high school students "in the school like I gradu- ated from to get exposed to music and learn about the music business." The first recipient of the Josh Turner Scholarship Fund will be a graduating senior from the 2009 class at Hannah - Pamplico High School, according to Turner. "We'll go from there and see what schools we'll go after next," he says. The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee administers funding for the singer's scholarship.
