I was told my Mom was sent home for hospice and had a few weeks at best. I was 1200 miles away but decided to drive as I was not leaving until she had passed. I was heading north on I-75 in lower Michigan at 3 AM, cruise control set at 85. Just me, the full moon hanging off my left shoulder keeping me company on that dark empty highway. The stereo was blaring to keep my mind alert as it had already been 14 hours in a 22 hour trip. Then I hear this song come on the radio as I too was driving all night to see my Mom. It was in the next day while I was still driving and just 10 minutes away when my Dad called and said Mom just passed. I never got to say good bye. I will always have this song to remind me of my Mom. I miss you Mom. Thank you Cyndi.
Hi David, I'm sorry buddy ❤️ everything's going to be all right. I just thought you should know that she might have left the hospital 10 minutes prior to your arrival but it was that last 10 minutes she wanted to spend with you in the car just the two of you and she did and she was there and she did not tell you goodbye more like when I see you again! ❤❤ And that is an encouraging thought.
Meu Deus!!! Como o tempo passou.. Eu tinha 17 anos quando foi lançada essa música. Hoje com 51 , casada e três filhos jovens. Que saudades Cyndi Lauper Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷
Fazemos parte de uma juventude diferenciada musicalmente falando... Hoje tenho 54, casado, dois filhos e um netinho que amo demais. Quando escuto músicas dos anos 80, sinto uma emoção imensurável... 🙏👍👏
This person is correct. Ms. Lauper does indeed have an 8 octave voice range & belts it out quite nicely at the end of the song!! She is nothing short of awe inspiring--even among opera talent!!!
Yeah, they don't realize it, because I had to make a friend listen to I'm Gonna Be Strong, and she said jokingly, it's that good? and it's the Girls Just Want To Have Fun singer??? I said YES! lol. I can't believe so many just think of her as that song, when there's this song, Time After Time, All Through The Night, True Colors and more which either hit #1 or came close and are very mature songs. Girls is great, but I'm upset so many forget great music. I'm thrilled though she has had a #1 selling Broadway album, #1 Blues album, and a #1 dance album all in the last 15 yrs! Take that haters!!!!!!
Agreed. She sounds best when she's wailing and really into a song. This for example really suits her. True Colors not so much. She sounds too mousy and sheepish for me when she sings quiet like that... Like my animal metaphors? :oP
I have no problem liking her and I was a grunge/rock type fan. She definitely was underrated due to her antics. But she has a powerful voice and she did this song better than anyone else.
He recorded a demo. From Wikipedia: "a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and made famous by American singer Cyndi Lauper. The song was originally intended for Roy Orbison, who recorded it in 1987, but his rendition was not released until 1992, after Lauper's version of it had become a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1989"
Cyndi's version was released before Roy's. Cyndis in 89. Roy's in 92. Although Roy did record it in 87 as a demo, it never got released until 92 because he had no record contract at the time. Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg wrote the song trying to capture Roy's style. Which they done perfectly.
@@09mheather I like the Orbison version, but this one spoke to me, as a woman. Frankly, I actually did this, so there was a place in my heart, burned and scarred into it. This version is my favorite.
I've always loved "Cyndi Lophead", she rules. Fearless vulnerability, integrity, and true to herself. Timeless music only surpassed by her generous humanity. We need a million more like her.
I dont remember when was the last time I heard this song, I guess like 20 years ago, what a feeling in the singing, how beautiful tune, powerfull but melancolic, nostalgic,the guitars, the drums her voice everything in perfect harmony.
Just saw her in concert a few nights ago in Tampa, Fl. after seeing her in Manilla in 1989. Her voice has not lost a beat, and she is still as beautiful as ever.
I agree! Cyndi is an incredible singer and performer . She puts everything she has into her performances. Let alone she is absolutely beautiful inside and out.
she not just singing, so wonderfully, her interpretation of this song is mind blowing in every way, what is she doing now? its singing and enacting this drama, its so artful, i can play it all night long
+Juju Rellama When I listen to her, I often have a marathon session where the album repeats over and over again. I love this song in particular. Its so powerful.

I listened to Celine Dion's "interpretation" of this song and I couldn't listen to it all the way through. She was doing her own take but just mangled it somehow. :) I never appreciated Cyndi Lauper's true talent until later on. I realize she's one of my favorites.

+Juju Rellama One of the most romantic songs of all time. It still makes me cry. I mean really cry. She's just beautiful in this song and even today all these years later she is still beautiful. Thank you Juju for posting!
I'm sorry. I know that I'm going to be in the minority on this, but I think this is by far the best version ever released. She killed it. As a previous poster said, "This was her most mature and underrated hit." I like it much better than Celine Deon's version. It's so beautifully done. The cello's just put it over the edge. Unbelievably romantic and passionate. I agree - "no one beats Cyndi's performance of this song."
It's one of those songs which Ms. Lauper makes it unique and masterful, Celine may have range but this is more like Ms. Lauper style and domain of genres which makes it unique to hers only & no comes closed to it even Celine.
@@rikimarudonchelie1229 Lauper has just as large a range as Celine Dion. Listen to "I'm Gonna Be Strong". Lauper is possibly the most underrated vocalist in history. I've heard both live in their prime. Lauper's voice is much more substantial, although Dion is a great singer.
I cant believe Im 50 years old, have seen this literally hundreds of times over 34 years (its one of my favorites), and I think I just now understood the story in the video: She never made it. There was an accident (with the wrecked white car?) and now shes haunting that lonely stretch of desert road in her Chevy coupe and lingering in his apartment near the Vegas strip. She always sees it as she imagined with him sleeping, waiting for her. Shes still driving. Dying to get to him. All night. Forever.
OMG “But I was dying to get to you.” And she did literally. Also “I was dreaming while I drove” She fell asleep on the wheel while driving all night, dreaming about her lover. “This fever for you is just burning me up inside” I think this is the instant her car crashes, the climax of her fantasy, burning for her lover in her dream while burning in real life from the car crash.
This is one of the gems from the 80's that is overlooked. This song blew me away back in 1989 when it came out and still amazes me almost 30 years later. That woman knows how to sing like nobody's business.
Yep! Cindi sure sang this song way before Celine and Cindi's version is way way way much much much better than Celine's. Song was originally intended for Roy Orbison who recorded it in 1987 a year before his death but wasn't released until 1992. By the time his version was released Cindi who already was very popular and famous sang the song 3 years earlier. Celine only sang her version in 2003.
Lorenshyne well, is tricky, but the song was written for Orbison, and he recorded it before anyone else, but since he died so quickly after that, they asked Cindi to release the first version, although Orbison’s was recorded before
Madonna overshadowed cyndi, but cyndi is a way better singer than madonna could ever hope to be. Cyndi has one of the most expressive, versatile vocal ranges out there.
She overshadowed nobody, because Lauper is an excellent singer. Madonna sales more because she was naked and with the tongue on the micro. That were interesting in the 80s-. But who admires talented vocal artists admires Lauper. Talent not always means more sales. Look at Beethoven and Mozart in the poverty.
@@KarinaC-xc6hm cindy lauder net worth 50 million Madonna net worth 1.2 billion Cindi way better singer, much more talented than madonna ever could be. Cindi way overshadowed by madonna
@@dwilli3660 Well, if you look at money, but at talent, Madonna was overshadowed by Lauper. I would prefer to have talent, In any case Lauper can live her entire life without working since the 80s, but talent cannot be bought with anything. No money can buy it. And Cyndi has too much.
Lauper the better singer sold 50 million albums Maddonna the lesser talent sold 400 million albums. You can't win this argument. Facts are facts, madonna completely overshadowed cindi. It's a shame, she has way less talent but numbers don't lie. Give it up madonna had a way better management and promotions team.@@KarinaC-xc6hm
+giorgos makris You do realize that the great one Celine Dion sang it. I will go with the she is absolutely amazing part. It is like Whitney signing a Dolly Parton song. You can love both versions.
+dla734 Whitney butchered I will always love you. That song shoul be sung as a simple song from a pure heart, and not as the voice-masturbation-ego-trip that Whitney made of it. Same here: Some Songs are not for the main stage, but for the honest face to face Performance.
I Drive all night es la canción qué escucho pensando en tu excelente vitalidad. Te la envío para qué la conozcas. Me admira está cantante Americana Cyndi Lauper admira su vitalidad y es por la misma razón que me recordáis mutuamente. Representáis el movimiento.
I met Cyndi back in 2003 in an album signing and she hugged each fan. She was so gracious and her skin was gorgeous, silky white and she smelled like flowers.
@@vivianeferreiradefigueired2777This seems to be the most inpired female version. But to me, only Roy Orbinson interprets, anguish, passion and tenderness in the true measure of a man in love. It's so visceral that I feel in that role every time I listen to it.
She is so talented. One word to describe her: "icon". Thank you for your legacy and for the joy you gave and still give to those like me were teennagers during the 80s'
@TEL_02 If you mean that if the song was specifically written for a film, it was not. It was, however, featured in "Paperback Hero," a 1999 Australian romantic comedy with Hugh Jackman.
somehow it's like a journey back in time to hear cindy's songs. they give you the feeling of being young again and of lifting the world out of its fins again. her voice and the texts are timelessly beautiful and as far as I've seen cindy exudes the same coolness and warmth as before. a timelessly beautiful and lovable woman who is still a dream today like her songs. for me that won't change in the future either. Thank you very much for everything you do and you will give us a gift in the future, cindy.
Screaming Mimi's There is nothing wrong with her career, she has won more awards than most artists, is in her 60s and still looks the same as she did in 83.
Screaming Mimi's Oh great, it's the president of the let's hate Cyndi Lauper for any stupid reason club. WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK!!! Go hate somewhere else, you don't know what it means to be loyal.
Screaming mimi to Cyndi Lauper did not need any other hit Bitch she already made herself a fukin legend with girls just wanna have fun and time after time . I don’t give a full with anyone says Bitch everyone and their fukin dogs knows them hits mfs alright so stfu ! Cyndi was so unusual and the best of the 80s .. madonna Michael Cyndi are known forever... legends.. yes Cyndi is part of that botches!
when I was 15/16 I haven't understood what a masterpiece this song is. But today... it is so perfect! The very special atmosphere of this song. The arrangement: cello, synthesizers and drums... so unique ... and of course Cindy's voice. It is one of the songs you'll never forget even not in hundert years...
I know Roy Orbison and Celine Dion sang it too, but nobody will ever beat Cyndi’s version of this song. Her voice just hits me in so many ways that I could just put this on repeat.
From Wiki: "'I Drove All Night' is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally intended for Roy Orbison. Orbison recorded the song in 1987, the year before his death, but his version was not released until 1992. Cyndi Lauper recorded the song and released it as a single for her A Night to Remember album. Her version became a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1989."
I understand what you mean .Just that Cindy Lauper popularised the song as she got the single out there in 89 and became a huge hit .I love Roy Orbison he was brilliant and Cindy Laupers vocal on the single is also superb
@@marymcdoangh5835 Roy recorded it in 1987 before his death in 1988. Cyndi recorded and released her version in 1989. Roy's recording was released in 1991, with an album release in 1992. So no, Roy didn't cover it.
Not at all... i think Cyndi knocked it out of the park, her voice as we never heard it, the edgy production and the video since it was 1989... it was very “Cyndi” - Celine’s well, it was supposed to serve a different purpose for Chrysler hence the spin of eurodisco. I was 14 in 89 - only now in my 40s I appreciate Cyndi’s artistry... never too late ;)
Celine and Cyndi are grand although, I actually prefer Rob Orbison's version - he wrote it after all. However, Cyndi and Celine's vocals are just stellar and both deserve praise and do the song more than justice! EDIT: Apologises, Roy Orbison didn’t write this song as I’ve been told. It was actually written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg.
For those wondering - the drummer is Steve Ferrone who's backed many of the biggest names in rock and pop. It sounds deceptively simple, but he's actually playing with enormous accuracy and consistency, beautifully underpinning Cyndi's voice. You notice the beat without losing any focus on her narrative. A brilliant, underrated journeyman you've heard dozens of times without knowing.
The technicality of her singing, the character and unique vocal style, her iconic looks, her energy, her personality, her songs, her humour, her emotion... I could go on... there isn’t one of these elements that can be bettered by another artist and she has ALL OF THEM
@Victor R. Karen was a wonderful artist particularly when it came to the more emotional songs; but to quote Cindy she’s indeed “like a rainbow” with the palette she has. Never got into journey. I know very little of the other two. I’ve personally not found anyone quite like her
wow what a woman.. Always In my dreams.!! The 80,s are back.. Most of these songs hold such wonderfull memory's. I hope I'm in another dimension going through it all again.!!
She won Grammy, Tony, Laurence Olivier Mastercard Award, Emmy , Outer Critics Circle Award, Whatsonstage Award... She is a GREAT SINGER and Actress! Goofball - No. Anyone that thinks this should be , well, shot. I want her to sing theme song for my book/movie
@Screaming Mimi's Everyone who watched her? Who is everyone? You? What utter rubbish. You were there in the early 80's? I'm really sick of halfwit children commenting on artists they never even experienced and know nothing about.
I just saw Cyndi last night at the Montreal show, where she just kicked off her farewell tour and no joke as soon as she started singing this, the audience went wild!
This might actually be the greatest song she ever recorded. Love the sound. Love the video. This is passion. Just listen to these lyrics, the singing! This was superb!

I was told my Mom was sent home for hospice and had a few weeks at best. I was 1200 miles away but decided to drive as I was not leaving until she had passed. I was heading north on I-75 in lower Michigan at 3 AM, cruise control set at 85. Just me, the full moon hanging off my left shoulder keeping me company on that dark empty highway. The stereo was blaring to keep my mind alert as it had already been 14 hours in a 22 hour trip. Then I hear this song come on the radio as I too was driving all night to see my Mom.

....Until she speaks, that is.

Cyndi's version takes me back to when I was a kid in the 80s the good old days. Celine's can't do that.
I would've loved to hear Elvis Presley sing this song, but Cyndi killed it.
It's one of those songs which Ms. Lauper makes it unique and masterful, Celine may have range but this is more like Ms. Lauper style and domain of genres which makes it unique to hers only & no comes closed to it even Celine.
Well, then, you’re on the inside that is the consensus Cyndi Lauper crushed it
@@rikimarudonchelie1229 Lauper has just as large a range as Celine Dion. Listen to "I'm Gonna Be Strong". Lauper is possibly the most underrated vocalist in history. I've heard both live in their prime. Lauper's voice is much more substantial, although Dion is a great singer.
Absolutely wonderful… I love Miss Lauper 🎉💫🎉
I cant believe Im 50 years old, have seen this literally hundreds of times over 34 years (its one of my favorites), and I think I just now understood the story in the video:
She never made it.
There was an accident (with the wrecked white car?) and now shes haunting that lonely stretch of desert road in her Chevy coupe and lingering in his apartment near the Vegas strip. She always sees it as she imagined with him sleeping, waiting for her.
Shes still driving.
Dying to get to him.
All night.
Forever.
😮 oh my!
i believe you've hit the nail on the head, the car, the fact she walks like a ghost (see-through) into his room etc. All makes sense now.
@@donnamcmahon251 crock of shit
OMG “But I was dying to get to you.” And she did literally. Also “I was dreaming while I drove” She fell asleep on the wheel while driving all night, dreaming about her lover. “This fever for you is just burning me up inside” I think this is the instant her car crashes, the climax of her fantasy, burning for her lover in her dream while burning in real life from the car crash.
Wow--this adds a whole new dimension to this video for me. Thank you.
This is one of the gems from the 80's that is overlooked. This song blew me away back in 1989 when it came out and still amazes me almost 30 years later. That woman knows how to sing like nobody's business.
Yep! Cindi sure sang this song way before Celine and Cindi's version is way way way much much much better than Celine's. Song was originally intended for Roy Orbison who recorded it in 1987 a year before his death but wasn't released until 1992. By the time his version was released Cindi who already was very popular and famous sang the song 3 years earlier. Celine only sang her version in 2003.
I Love music.
So this was earlier or Roy Orbisons?
Lorenshyne well, is tricky, but the song was written for Orbison, and he recorded it before anyone else, but since he died so quickly after that, they asked Cindi to release the first version, although Orbison’s was recorded before
Yes and she still knows how to sing like nobody's business. Love Cyndi forever 💜 👌🏼
This song is a time machine to the summer of 1989. Some of the greatest days of my life.
I was born that summer, great comment! :)
One of mine too, the end of the 80s and just moving in to serious life of mortgage and family , and now 30 years later .... eeek ....
I was 17 the summer this came out! I remember singing this to my boyfriend! Those were the days!
I was 3
Wow, thx for reminding me of that year - I guess that was THE most 'adventurous' year in my life - in all the meanings of the word!!
Madonna overshadowed cyndi, but cyndi is a way better singer than madonna could ever hope to be. Cyndi has one of the most expressive, versatile vocal ranges out there.
So expressive! It feels like she gives away a piece of her heart everytime she sings
She overshadowed nobody, because Lauper is an excellent singer. Madonna sales more because she was naked and with the tongue on the micro. That were interesting in the 80s-. But who admires talented vocal artists admires Lauper. Talent not always means more sales. Look at Beethoven and Mozart in the poverty.
@@KarinaC-xc6hm cindy lauder net worth 50 million
Madonna net worth 1.2 billion
Cindi way better singer, much more talented than madonna ever could be.
Cindi way overshadowed by madonna
@@dwilli3660
Well, if you look at money, but at talent, Madonna was overshadowed by Lauper. I would prefer to have talent, In any case Lauper can live her entire life without working since the 80s, but talent cannot be bought with anything. No money can buy it. And Cyndi has too much.
Lauper the better singer sold 50 million albums
Maddonna the lesser talent sold 400 million albums. You can't win this argument. Facts are facts, madonna completely overshadowed cindi. It's a shame, she has way less talent but numbers don't lie. Give it up madonna had a way better management and promotions team.@@KarinaC-xc6hm
What a wonderful song and emotional performance. Really captures the feeling of love in anyone who has driven all night to be with their beloved.
This is one of her best. I saw her in concert twice and she is sooo underrated as a vocalist. Love love Cyndi
Just love her and this song. Brings me back to high school days. Love 80's music. Still a great big fan!!!!
Geht mir auch so 😊
Cyndi Lauper A Night To Remember 1989
1989
She just nailed it better than anyone else
Cyndi's version is by far the best! She's absolutely amazing!
Its very goofd
+giorgos makris και από του Roy Orbison;
+Rheinmetall1 MOY AΡΕΣΕΙ O ROY ORBISON, ΦΟΒΕΡΟΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΤΕΧΝΗΣ, AΛΛΑ ΣΤΟ ΣΥΓΚΕΚΡΙΜΕΝΟ, Η CYNDI LAUPER ΕΧΕΙ ΠΙΟ ΠΟΛΥ ΠΑΘΟΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ.
+giorgos makris You do realize that the great one Celine Dion sang it. I will go with the she is absolutely amazing part. It is like Whitney signing a Dolly Parton song. You can love both versions.
+dla734 Whitney butchered I will always love you. That song shoul be sung as a simple song from a pure heart, and not as the voice-masturbation-ego-trip that Whitney made of it. Same here: Some Songs are not for the main stage, but for the honest face to face Performance.
What a vocal range Cyndi has, she's stunning too, one of those people you can't help keep watching. 😘
29 years ago.. I still love this song..
Thanks RUclips.... 💖💖💖
The best version of this song ❤
I agree with you 👍
I Drive all night es la canción qué escucho pensando en tu excelente vitalidad. Te la envío para qué la conozcas. Me admira está cantante Americana Cyndi Lauper admira su vitalidad y es por la misma razón que me recordáis mutuamente. Representáis el movimiento.
Es preciosa escucharla mi que rida Yolanda. Hasta siempre.
queen of elegance, queen of class, queen of the eighties
I met Cyndi back in 2003 in an album signing and she hugged each fan. She was so gracious and her skin was gorgeous, silky white and she smelled like flowers.
That would be the dream right there
You mean Cyndi
She takes after her mom. xx -LL
Had the pleasure of meeting Cyndi Lauper at a charity do once. She was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Nicest thing anybody ever said about anyone...Best part is it's true
I like her version the most because it seems to have the most genuine emotion behind it. Absolute fire!
I like hers too, but I feel so emotional when I see the video witn Jason Priestly in Roy Orbison's voice, I can't explain, I feel the desperation
Agreed!
@@vivianeferreiradefigueired2777This seems to be the most inpired female version. But to me, only Roy Orbinson interprets, anguish, passion and tenderness in the true measure of a man in love. It's so visceral that I feel in that role every time I listen to it.
I´m totally agree, i perceive it too
@@Bitcoinzero Yeeees, you are so right!!!!!!!
My favorite Cyndi Lauper song
She is so talented. One word to describe her: "icon". Thank you for your legacy and for the joy you gave and still give to those like me were teennagers during the 80s'
That intro with folk music! Very confident production here. She’s captivating, as always. Love you Ms. Lauper
Cyndi Lauper I Drove All Night 🌙 (Video) 1989
1989
The way she holds that note at the end, My GOD!
Hello reformed Order ! Yes I agree. That note is so amazing 💖 her voice is beautiful. Have a nice day😊
@TEL_02 If you mean that if the song was specifically written for a film, it was not. It was, however, featured in "Paperback Hero," a 1999 Australian romantic comedy with Hugh Jackman.
Epic finish to a magnificent track! It lifts me every time!
First done by Roy Orbison.
Sexy voice....
Still makes me cry, for the emotion of memories and music. So beautiful and elegant. Love you still❤
I love how Cyndi rarely wears shoes in her 80s performances. She’s so natural and connected.
esp people with a foot fetish :-) lol
@@mikekaraoke Yep, I'm guilty:-)))
@@AgentRafa Can't say that one escaped me either. I liked it, heh.
I freaking love this song.
I always though that Cyndi Lauper's voice is underrated.
somehow it's like a journey back in time to hear cindy's songs. they give you the feeling of being young again and of lifting the world out of its fins again. her voice and the texts are timelessly beautiful and as far as I've seen cindy exudes the same coolness and warmth as before. a timelessly beautiful and lovable woman who is still a dream today like her songs. for me that won't change in the future either. Thank you very much for everything you do and you will give us a gift in the future, cindy.
I have loved this girl so much she has always been so different and I love her for it she is just so unique God bless ER
It’s nice and nostalgic
So nicely and eloquently put. I couldn't have said it better. Thanks for that comment! Much love from Brazil! ♥️😉
She is amazing but it is Roy's song.
It's much better than Celine Dion's version, I just love Cindy stile!
The drums make this so powerful.
Classic, CLASSIC.....80s song! And Cindy did a great job with it--- Still my fav song by her.
Screaming Mimi's There is nothing wrong with her career, she has won more awards than most artists, is in her 60s and still looks the same as she did in 83.
Super Kawaii. thanks
It's safe to assume about 8 million people do not agree with screaming mimi, lol.....
Screaming Mimi's Oh great, it's the president of the let's hate Cyndi Lauper for any stupid reason club. WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK!!! Go hate somewhere else, you don't know what it means to be loyal.
Screaming mimi to Cyndi Lauper did not need any other hit Bitch she already made herself a fukin legend with girls just wanna have fun and time after time . I don’t give a full with anyone says Bitch everyone and their fukin dogs knows them hits mfs alright so stfu ! Cyndi was so unusual and the best of the 80s .. madonna Michael Cyndi are known forever... legends.. yes Cyndi is part of that botches!
Cyndi Lauper still got it she's beautiful
Yess and hot😍😍😍
She is so amazing.
I will always have a massive crush on Cyndi Lauper.
You have great taste 👏
when I was 15/16 I haven't understood what a masterpiece this song is. But today... it is so perfect! The very special atmosphere of this song. The arrangement: cello, synthesizers and drums... so unique ... and of course Cindy's voice. It is one of the songs you'll never forget even not in hundert years...
Du hast ja so recht👍🎤 🎹🎛🎶🙋♂️
This is a masterpiece
I know Roy Orbison and Celine Dion sang it too, but nobody will ever beat Cyndi’s version of this song. Her voice just hits me in so many ways that I could just put this on repeat.
From Wiki:
"'I Drove All Night' is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally intended for Roy Orbison. Orbison recorded the song in 1987, the year before his death, but his version was not released until 1992. Cyndi Lauper recorded the song and released it as a single for her A Night to Remember album. Her version became a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1989."
I understand what you mean .Just that Cindy Lauper popularised the song as she got the single out there in 89 and became a huge hit .I love Roy Orbison he was brilliant and Cindy Laupers vocal on the single is also superb
@@marymcdoangh5835 Roy recorded it in 1987 before his death in 1988. Cyndi recorded and released her version in 1989. Roy's recording was released in 1991, with an album release in 1992. So no, Roy didn't cover it.
"I Drove All Night" is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally intended for Roy Orbison. O
I’m a huge Roy Orbison fan, but I love this version so much!!!!
Still burning me up inside. This song makes me emotional.
This is my favorite Cyndi Lauper song after Time After Time.
Time after time was the best song in the 80s
Am I the only one who prefers Cyndi’s version to this song over Celine’s version?
Obvious
Not at all... i think Cyndi knocked it out of the park, her voice as we never heard it, the edgy production and the video since it was 1989... it was very “Cyndi” - Celine’s well, it was supposed to serve a different purpose for Chrysler hence the spin of eurodisco. I was 14 in 89 - only now in my 40s I appreciate Cyndi’s artistry... never too late ;)
Cyndi's version gives me chills every time .
Celine and Cyndi are grand although, I actually prefer Rob Orbison's version - he wrote it after all. However, Cyndi and Celine's vocals are just stellar and both deserve praise and do the song more than justice!
EDIT: Apologises, Roy Orbison didn’t write this song as I’ve been told. It was actually written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg.
There is only Cyndi and Roy Orbison!
This woman is 68 years young and still kickin'! I love all of her songs, her videos and her voice. Her voice is just so beautiful.
hello kelley
Age is only a number.....
Hello
She went from a wild pixie to a distinguished woman.
@@donaldsmith379 1989
What an amazing talent! Every time I hear her it brings me back to my childhood. Wow I miss those days.
I forgot how old I really am or how long ago it has been since Cindi sung this song.
For those wondering - the drummer is Steve Ferrone who's backed many of the biggest names in rock and pop. It sounds deceptively simple, but he's actually playing with enormous accuracy and consistency, beautifully underpinning Cyndi's voice. You notice the beat without losing any focus on her narrative. A brilliant, underrated journeyman you've heard dozens of times without knowing.
The technicality of her singing, the character and unique vocal style, her iconic looks, her energy, her personality, her songs, her humour, her emotion... I could go on... there isn’t one of these elements that can be bettered by another artist and she has ALL OF THEM
you put that superbly right on bro
CYNDI LAUPER: THE REAL QUEEN OF POP
@Victor R. Karen was a wonderful artist particularly when it came to the more emotional songs; but to quote Cindy she’s indeed “like a rainbow” with the palette she has. Never got into journey. I know very little of the other two. I’ve personally not found anyone quite like her
a todos q. curtem o romantismo essa é uma emoção q. nunca se apagará em corações q. ama e sempre amará por toda a vida.
@Jesicca ,Excelente,,,como dice la cancion de Emmanuel,se llama "insoportablemente bella"
If there was an Oscar for acting in music, she would well deserve one, perhaps two!
wow what a woman.. Always In my dreams.!! The 80,s are back.. Most of these songs hold such wonderfull memory's. I hope I'm in another dimension going through it all again.!!
Screaming Mimi's
That's a shame for her. As when it was released in England. It was quite a big hit..
Conspiracy Carl I'm caught between this and Roy Orbison version it's about dead even for me
I fell that way too. Hi from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I drove all night ❤❤
You have one of the best vocal range ever. Rock on girlfriend. Love forever!
This should have 8 billion + views...masterpiece
For the audio, but not so much the video.
Holy cow! I had only ever heard Celine's version. I love Celine but this version sends hers packing.
Celine's version is a crime against music.
Check Roy Orbison’s version. Would’ve been the original, but he sadly passed away.
Best rendition of this song ! Ever !
She got tagged with the reputation of being kind of a goofball which has always overshadowed the fact that she's a GREAT singer.
she was more punk than pop too me. sadly empty pop tends to win?
55Porter hands down, she was a great singer!
She won Grammy, Tony, Laurence Olivier Mastercard Award, Emmy , Outer Critics Circle Award, Whatsonstage Award... She is a GREAT SINGER and Actress! Goofball - No. Anyone that thinks this should be , well, shot. I want her to sing theme song for my book/movie
Who tagged her with a goofball reputation?
@Screaming Mimi's Everyone who watched her? Who is everyone? You? What utter rubbish. You were there in the early 80's? I'm really sick of halfwit children commenting on artists they never even experienced and know nothing about.
This song showed how versatile her voice is. Love her alto range here, so big
No one can ever do this song better than her, ever!
Heard of Celine Dion?
@@ronak5852 Celine is no match for Cyndi on this one
@@36umar are u kidding, right?
Roy Orbison did.
Céline’s version is a million times better
I just saw Cyndi last night at the Montreal show, where she just kicked off her farewell tour and no joke as soon as she started singing this, the audience went wild!
one of my favorite songs...
👁️💕 CYNDI LAUPER
THIS WOMAN CAN SING.... PERIOD.
SHE ROCKS 😎.
👁️MISS THE 80'S
And she's still hot
She never needs Autotune. A great talent.
My forever spirit animal. Brave but never out of line, crazy but never nonsensical.
This might actually be the greatest song she ever recorded. Love the sound. Love the video. This is passion. Just listen to these lyrics, the singing! This was superb!
