He was popular and somewhat successful for roughly 30 years while he was alive, and remains popular and successful today to a certain degree. There were definitely "down" or "slow" periods in his career, but he had his first big hit in 1957, and was enjoying renewed popularity when he passed away in 1988. Besides being a solo artist and songwriter of such popular songs as Oh Pretty Woman (or just Pretty Woman), he was also a member of the "supergroup" the Traveling Willburys. His music is still recorded by other artists, and still played on radio today.
