Do you remember the 1988 song by the Traveling Wilbury's called "Handle with Care"? It missed hitting the Billboard Top 40 peeking at #45. Even when Traveling Wilbury's member Roy Orbinson had a Top 40 hit in 1989 postumsly after his unexpected heart attack death called "You've Got It" Shadoe Stevens on AT40 never bothered to play a piece of that Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care" song that missed the Top 40 (but Shadoe did play a different cut with Roy's vocals from the "Traveling Wilbury's Volume 1" album and mentioned that a Traveling Wilbury's song "End of the Line" was on the Hot 100 the same time as "You've Got It", but alas, "End of the Line" didn't make the Top 40 at all as well!)

I loved this song. "End of the Line" was OK but not as good.

Even Z-95 WYTZ Chicago had another Traveling Wilburys song "Last Night" on their survey playlist in April 1989.

This song was starting to run out of gas when Roy Orbison died in December, 1988. I remember being surprised that this song did not start moving back up the chart after that. sort of like "Way Down" by Elvis Presley in 1977, a song that was on its way down the chart (no pun intended) when Elvis died, then the song resurged and surpassed its original peak.
And yeah, I remember "Last Night" by the Traveling Wilburys, since I listened to the Z95 Chicago Top 30 every Sunday afternoon back then. The song debuted at #29 the weekend of April 16 and dropped out the following week. The same thing happened with the prematurely released "Cherish" by Madonna.

Good song. Surprised it didn't make the top 40.

Excellent song. In fact the whole album was very good. "Tweeter And The Monkey Man" and "You're Not Alone Anymore" were good songs as well. The flip side of "Handle With Care" was "Margarita" which I thought was good as well. The Traveling Wilburys never hit the R&R charts either.

This one brings back a lot of good memories. This song (and their whole album really) remind me so much of growing up. It was one of the albums (or cassette tapes I think) that my dad played a lot when I was a kid. |

This song was great. Roy Orbison's part on the song is just incredible. This whole album was great. Loved End of the Line too.
