Uncommon card · No. 139989

"I Drove All Night" is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, originally intended for Roy Orbison. Orbison recorded the track in 1987, the year before his death, although his version was not released until 1992. Before that, Cyndi Lauper recorded the song and issued it as a single from her album A Night to Remember. Her version became a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1989, and it was also her final top 40 entry on the American pop charts. Lauper continues to perform the song regularly in her live concerts. The track was later covered by Canadian singer Celine Dion in 2003; her version topped the Canadian Singles Chart and reached number seven on the US Adult Contemporary chart. Another 2003 version, recorded by the country music band Pinmonkey, also reached the top 40 on the US Hot Country Songs chart.
