@@DBBMed of course I was high. Why else would I be leaving youtube comments? I was wrong though. Turns out this IS the original. Released three years before Roy's version! I know. I'm as surprised as you and not just because I'm very, very high.
I absolutely love Cyndi singing this gem!! It’s a powerful love song!! Makes me think about being with my future love soon! I’m praying God! Send him soon please 🙏❤️❤️❤️

This woman has lost NOTHING, she hasn't souled out or changed for the worse. This woman is still in her 20s, you can see it, you can Hear it whereas many in her Era simply don't have it anymore. I've always had an appreciation for Cyndi but I had no idea how Great she is. She was cute in the 80s and HOT now, wow. I can't express what I'm thinking, this is the best I can flesh out.

You are insulting Cyndi Lauper by saying she is "still in her 20s." She is in her 60s. Any woman and human being continues (if they choose) to be vibrant, thriving, and full of life in present times or what you may consider later life. Cyndi Lauper has accomplished much more after the door to youth supposedly closed. Many other doors opened that acted as a hall-like conduit to more experiences, emotions, music, causes, love, and life. I hope you will agree that the concept of youth is misconstrued and passion in a song is not relegated only to those who are younger than 30. Hugs and love to you at any age.
I disagree her version is electrifying and is still the better version. Incidentally, Roy Orbison sang it originally and he nailed it.@@sonnysoldies5288
She can still sing at this point but clearly not been singing much and a little out of practice... she'd be back to perfect again after 3 or 4 more run throughs.
the violinist is singing backup.. I thought I heard another voice and in one spot you can see the violinist singing with her when she really is belting out the volume.
Cyndi Lauper was always known to have an great voice with incredible range. Most of her songs never showed her powerful voice. This one is an exception.
Tori Amos, who I adore, used to pick a song suggested from the audience back in the day and without rehearsal just sing it. Brave and wild just like she is, she attempted All Through The Night - it's on one of her 'Bootlegs' albums - and she had to stop half way through because it was so hard. It's funny listening to it and Tori swearing at how hard it was 😂.
Her voice and stage presence is incredible. She survived the industry over the years without being objectified-- she endures by remaining genuinely interesting and talented --in spite of her natural beauty.
She hasn't been objectified because she'd cut the still=beating heart out of anyone that would dare to do that and eat it while they were looking at her... ( - : (I know this because I've seen her in action...)
and she's not also trying to latch on towards trends in order to remain relevant like madonna. madonna has aged badly. that's why cyndi is always better. i would like to see how a cyndi lauper/kylie minogue dual tour would do though i'm aware kylie is a much bigger star around the world.
This woman. Good grief! I saw her once live as the opening act for Cher in MSG and frankly, had Cher never even come on stage I would have gotten more than my money’s worth and I LOVE Cher. What an artist and one of the few who is actually better live. No gimmickry, no auto-tuning, no pandering, just enormous and exquisite talent. ❤️uCyn!
Yes I saw her on her first solo tour for She's So Unusual decades ago. I knew that night this lady was no gimmick/one hit wonder. She tore the roof off the place and never broke a sweat!
That must have been amazing @What’s The Frequency! I remember watching that tour televised on HBO, but it must have been incredible to be there. All Through the Night still gives me chills

Hoje estou com 54 anos. À época do lançamento da Cyndi Lauper no Brasil, eu tinha cerca de 16 anos. Desde então, nunca mais consegui me desligar de seu trabalho. De lá para cá, muitas cantoras surgiram e desapareceram. Mas Cyndi Lauper permanece atravessando o tempo com seu talento, sua voz e seu jeitinho meigo e doce. Só mesmo quem viveu os anos 80, principalmente se era jovem como eu, sabe a importância que ela teve em muitos aspectos. O meu primeiro grande amor - aquele que fica marcado para sempre - foi embalado pelas músicas da Cyndi Lauper. Jamais vou esquecer as tardes diante da TV vendo seus clipes na MTV. Parecia algo tão distante, mas, ao mesmo tempo, tão próximo de nós. Aquele corte de cabelo único, aquelas roupas estranhas, aquele clima no ar de rebeldia e de quebra de padrões, tudo era muito singular e especial. Eu começava a me sentir fazendo parte de algo. Eu começava a me definir como pessoa. E a Cyndi Lauper era uma espécie de espelho para mim. Vou segui-la sempre!
Everything about this is impeccable! Her stage presence, her vocals, how much confidence you feel in her performance. What a truly outstanding artist & an amazing legacy.
Doug Varnam - I respectfully disagree that it's underrated. If there was a list put out today of vocalists from the beginning of music history I bet that Cyndi's name would be near the top of the list. I'm guessing here, but it may feel like it's underrated now because we don't hear Cyndi on mainstream radio.
From 1:48 thru 2:04 = masterful vocal skills. Her run of lyrics is perfectly enunciated. Placement & sound production is superb. OMG she did it again at 2:52 - 3:05 punching flawlessly into a falsetto belt! Holy fuckin shit that was so great it makes me cry.
It is just the best cover I have ever seen .Roy Orbison can be proud of Cindy who gave all her soul for this great song.Cindy gave so much energy by her physical performance on stage.
@@iamasmurf1122 It wasn't written by Roy. It was written for him and he recorded it but decided not to release it. Song was given to Cyndi who released it. Was then released in 1992 after Roy's sad death x
She is one rare artist. The reason is because most artists lose there range and voice when they get older. Not Cyndi...truly amazing!! With her voice and range it actually has got lot better!
I've loved her from the beginning, even changed my her similar to hers. Shes one individual and still is, beautiful and very intelligent still love you Cyndi Lauper come back to Australia again so I may come and see you again with my friends ❤🌹ya💯
I can't stop watching this clip it gives me goosebumps hearing Cyndi singing this wonderful classic nobody can do this song more justice than she could
thank god we grew up when we did there are no more debbie harrys or cyndi laupers out there and how bout the one from heart that does stairway to heaven great era for music and everything no hater nobody cared if you were black or white gay or straight right or left just a great time was had by all feel bad for the kids today too much hate not a good time
Watching this performance tells me, AGAIN, that´s she´s definetly one of the most underrated artists ever. Yes, she had huge success with her first two albums but then people just seemed to have completely forgotten she existed. She´s in her 60´s now and her incredible voice and charisma stil remain.
@@angemusik9406 Much better than Madonna, in my opinion. It´s just that Madonna is a great businesswoman while Lauper was a lot bolder which, in the end, didn´t help her (commercially speaking).
David didn't say anything about RO. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people who make asinine comments and can't use proper grammar. Cindy is amazing, David. Timeless, beyond talented, and a true gift.
I love you, Cyndi Lauper! You introduced and mesmerized me with this amazing song on your LP in the late 80s. This live version gives it it incredible brilliance and showcases your amazing vocal and performance range. No one can touch this performance. And I'm a huge Roy Orbison fan. You make him and all of us mighty proud!
Cyndi's amazing version. Her vocal technique is Incommensurable, from another planet !! This song reminds me of my young days when I was driving at night coming back from the discotheques
She's always been an amazing, an original artist. Expressive with telling the story in the lyrics. Her distinctive voice. Her voice range. She's wonderful with this performance!!
Watching this in awe and admiration, and then, just when I thought I could die in peace she comes back at the minute 3:00 and kills me again with the switch in her voice. Just marvelous!!
She's an angel...or maybe a goddess walking the Earth as this marvelous woman...that voice...that voice...OMG...produces me an accelerated heart and goosebumps. God bless Cindy!
It's not the voice range of 4 octaves, it's not being a great singer, not even about being true artist. What makes her so mesmerizing to us, is her pure soul, honesty and kindheartedness. That is from where all of her greatness emerges, and that is why she was blessed with youthfull look and coolness of eternal girl. Wish I could talk with her about some philosofical stuff regarding life, because I believe she could tell many unique truths and wisdoms - unique as only she is.
Cindy Lauper es única en su estilo. Y aunque pasen los años sus ojos conservan esa mirada tan clásica de ella así como su magnífica interpretación y voz.
Cyndi Lauper honrou o mestre Roy Orbison com uma gravação de mesmo nível, com bom gosto e qualidade vocal constantes em seus trabalhos. Obrigado Cyndi. Você é demais!
Asi es mi buen amigo. En esta oportunidad solo esta cantante me hace dudar con cual version quedarme... Si con la de un Roy brillante o con la majestuosa voz de esta artista... Me quedo con las dos
Esta foi uma das minhas maiores frustrações. Eu morava em Porto Velho-RO. Quando fiquei sabendo da vinda dela ao Brasil, já não dava tempo de ir assistir ao show.
First time I've seen this. Reduced to tears within the first minute of the song. Her performance is so convincing and her voice is something else absolutely fantastic.
@Scott Luther they recorded it pretty much the same time roy died so Cyndi Lauper had hers release 1st it was intended for roy but since he died his wasnt out till 1992 Cyndi recorded it and ask hers to be released she had 6 Grammys awards for it
@Scott Luther Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg wrote this. They have written many hit songs, including "Like A Virgin," "Eternal Flame" and "True Colors." Many of their songs start with a lyric or title Steinberg comes up with. He was living in the Coachella Valley in California and did a lot of driving back and forth between Los Angeles and the desert. He came up with the title on one of those drives. Steinberg: "Tom and I were huge Roy Orbison fans. Tom grew up in Indiana and I grew up in Palm Springs, California and we really are as different as night and day as people, but the one thing that we have always shared in common is that we always liked the same music when we were kids. We both loved the Everly Brothers, Laura Nyro and Roy Orbison. We had, like most songwriters do, certain artists who inspired us and would inspire our songwriting, and one of those was Roy Orbison. When we wrote the song 'I Drove All Night,' we didn't entertain any fantasy about Roy ever recording this song. We just set out to write a song sort of in the style of Roy Orbison. In fact, what I would refer to as the B section of that song, the British would call it a pre-chorus, when it goes, 'Taste your sweet kisses your arms open wide,' that part that lifts into the chorus, it has a definite similarity to the Roy Orbison song 'Running Scared.' We had great fun writing that song because it felt like it authentically captured the spirit of the drama that Roy Orbison would inject into the great songs that he wrote, songs like 'Running Scared', 'Crying' or 'In Dreams.'" The first person Steinberg and Kelly offered this to was Peter Kingsbery, a singer from Texas who was in the band Cock Robin. Says Steinberg, "We heard Cock Robin play live and this guy Peter Kingsbery had this great voice very much like Roy Orbison - it's a powerful voice. We thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if he would sing I Drove All Night, so we invited him over to Tom's house where we had a studio. Peter was a good guy, a little bit arrogant. He heard the song and he liked it, but he said, 'Well, I'm a songwriter myself. Why would I record one of your songs?' it was a nice meeting, but he didn't have any interest in recording our song." On February 9, 1987, Steinberg and Kelly saw Orbison perform at a supper club in Lakewood, California called The Hop. Says Steinberg, "When we walked in, the place was jammed and most of the people there were middle-aged women. At that time Roy hadn't had a record on the charts in many years. He did not have a recording contract. Roy hadn't been heard from in a long time. The band went up on stage, Roy was not in sight and there were a couple of background singers. The band starts playing and the girls start singing the intro to 'Only the Lonely.' I sort of braced myself. I said to myself, 'His vocals on his records are so otherworldly and so unbelievable that there's no way the guy's going to walk in this club and sing those songs like he did on those records.' Roy Orbison walks out and he sang 'Only the Lonely' and he sang all his hits and if it's possible he sang them better than he did on his records. It was just unbelievable. It was one of the great moments in my life, just to be there in this small club and hear Roy sing one hit after another. When the show was over, Tom and I wandered outside and there was his trailer. Of course, we were hoping to meet Roy. We didn't, but we met somebody who I guess was Roy's manager at the time. We mentioned we had written a few hits and were Roy Orbison fans. Not much came out of that, then for some reason I went into a studio called Record One in Sherman Oaks and Roy Orbison was in there recording. I went up to him and said, 'A few months ago Tom and I heard you play at this club and you were so good.' We kind of connected and somehow we arranged that he would come by Tom's house and do some work with us and that maybe we would write together. We had already written 'I Drove All Night.' We had a demo of it with Tom singing it. Tom and I walked out and were standing out in the street. We looked down the street and we saw in the distance a red Ferrari convertible coming up the street and we both knew that had to be Roy Orbison. He was driving slowly like someone would who was looking for a street number. As the car pulled up, we saw a guy with big black sunglasses, black hair, and there on a residential street in Woodland Hills was Roy Orbison getting out of his red Ferrari to work with Tom and me. Working with Chrissie Hynde, the Bangles or The Divinyls is one thing because those are people of my generation, but Roy had been a childhood idol. Roy was somebody whose songs just changed my life when I was a kid, so to have him standing there as a peer, someone I was going to work with, my knees wanted to buckle. We walked into Tom's house and there was the idea that we could write something together and he just didn't seem to really want to start writing a song, so rather than write something we said, 'Well, we've got a song that we think you could sing really well,' and we played him 'I Drove All Night.' He said he liked it. Tom played either piano or guitar and taught him the song. Roy stepped up to the microphone. We all had headphones on and Roy sang two takes of the song. Tom and I had written into that song a section that goes, 'Uh-huh, yeah,' and when Tom sang it on our demo we would laugh because Tom was blatantly trying to sound like Roy, and then when Roy did it, it was a moment that was just unbelievable because Roy did it like it was supposed to be done. Roy did those two takes of the song and I gave him some song lyrics. He took them with him with the idea that he might write something to them or that we could work on something in the future. So we had this demo of Roy Orbison singing 'I Drove All Night,' but Roy didn't have a recording contract at the time and Tom and I didn't have the wherewithal to do anything with Roy Orbison's version of the song. We couldn't sign him to a recording contract or promote him or anything at that point in time. We didn't know what to do with it. By that time 'True Colors' had been a big hit for Cyndi Lauper and she had expressed an interest in meeting us and in writing with us, so Tom and I flew to New York and we took with us the demo of 'I Drove All Night' sung by Tom because we figured that she could sing it well. We wrote a couple of songs with Cyndi and we presented this song 'I Drove All Night' to her and she liked it and immediately went about recording it. Tom and I even participated in demonstrating the song to a couple of musicians that she worked with. She recorded it and it came out on her record called A Night to Remember (1989)." Later in 1987, Roy Orbison got a recording contract with Virgin Records. Working with Jeff Lynne, he recorded the successful comeback album Mystery Girl, which contained the hit 'You Got It.' He also joined The Traveling Wilburys with Lynne, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Bob Dylan. Sadly, Orbison died of a heart attack on December 7, 1988. Says Steinberg: "From afar we sort of watched Roy's career come back. We were pleased for him but we didn't participate because all the great admirers of Roy had started to come out of the woodwork. People like Jeff Lynne, Bruce Springsteen and Bono. He didn't exactly need Steinberg/Kelly when he had people of that caliber wanting to work with him. Roy died and a number of years went by. Tom and I took our demo of 'I Drove All Night' to Jordan Harris, who was an A&R guy at Virgin. We got to know Jordan because we worked with The Divinyls, who were signed to Virgin. We said to Jordan, 'Did you know Roy did a version of I Drove All Night early on?' And he said, 'No, I had no idea.' We played it for him and he said, 'We want to make a record of the remaining masters that we have on Roy. We'd love to use that.' Our demo had been a very rough 16-track affair. We gave it to Jeff Lynne and Jeff rebuilt the track around the vocal that we had cut on Roy. That was very satisfying for us." (Check out our interview with Billy Steinberg.) Cyndi Lauper's version hit #6 in the US and #7 in the UK. It was her last hit in the US. In 2003, Chrysler signed Celine Dion to a $14 million deal to endorse their cars. They were looking for a song to use in the campaign and release as a single. Steinberg knew Celine Dion and had written "Falling Into You," which was the title track of her 1996 album. He sent a copy of Roy Orbison's version of "I Drove All Night" to her record company, who loved it and had Dion record it with Swedish producer Peer Astrom. She used the song in her Las Vegas show and it became the centerpiece of the Chrysler campaign. The commercials were great exposure for the song and helped sell a lot of albums, but they didn't sell enough cars. Chrysler pulled out of the deal after many of their dealers complained and it became clear the ads weren't working.
Oh meu Deus... quanta saudade ouvindo estas músicas. A voz maravilhosa de Cyndi Lauper, sua energia... que coisa mais linda e emocionante!!!!!!! Que mulher poderosa! 🥰😍

That's not a high note
Not very often can a song deliver "that" feeling, shivers, clenched throat...this song is one of very few.

the violinist is singing backup.. I thought I heard another voice and in one spot you can see the violinist singing with her when she really is belting out the volume.
It's amazing how she can hold a high note for almost 15 seconds, while adding vibrato and changing the pitch and make it look so effortless.
Agreed, that was amazing. I did some singing in my younger years, no way I could hold a note that long.
So underrated as a singer and performer. She owns this song.
Indeed. She has such a wide range and she transitions so smoothly! And she did it sitting /laying down!
Isso é dom e talento

It is just the best cover I have ever seen .Roy Orbison can be proud of Cindy who gave all her soul for this great song.Cindy gave so much energy by her physical performance on stage.
AFAIK The song was written for Roy Orbison but Cindy recorded it first. So technically Roy covered it
Yeah, she really sounds like she lives and breathes the song in this performance.
this is no cover of roy orbison , roy orbison wrote thisfor cyndi lauper who produced it first before roy orbison , this is the original version
so true ..., its hard though teaching people almost pointless @@memovilmx6239
@@iamasmurf1122 It wasn't written by Roy. It was written for him and he recorded it but decided not to release it. Song was given to Cyndi who released it. Was then released in 1992 after Roy's sad death x
This song has become something of a hidden treasure
Chattingesque it was never hidden. People with no sense thought it was a Celine Dion song. She takes all the emotion out of it.
She and celine are coverd roy orbison song !
@@taintedlife2618 I mean a hidden treasure within CYN’s catalogue
@@arnoldfabian8775 I know, but Cyndi’s cover is one of her best singles but is mostly forgotten
@Max Powell yes!
She is one rare artist. The reason is because most artists lose there range and voice when they get older. Not Cyndi...truly amazing!! With her voice and range it actually has got lot better!
EXACTLY!!!! She is the best!!!
No booze or drugs.
Spot on
Class , wt an artist. She fab
I've loved her from the beginning, even changed my her similar to hers. Shes one individual and still is, beautiful and very intelligent still love you Cyndi Lauper come back to Australia again so I may come and see you again with my friends ❤🌹ya💯
Much as I love Roy Orbison, Cyndi's cover is truly phenomenal and has been my favourite version since I first heard it.
I like both. Roy was first in 87 and didn't see airplay till92. Gave Cindi time to cash in large.
Love them both equally
Weirdly I heard the Celine Dion version first and that is the one I still sing in my head. Love each take on it from each artist.
I can't stop watching this clip it gives me goosebumps hearing Cyndi singing this wonderful classic nobody can do this song more justice than she could
This is her best performance ever of this song, her tonal range is magnificent!
So talented, and very unique lady, love her voice and personality..She's timeless..❤
Oh my gosh her range is incredible! Woah. Her voice just gets better and better!
Śliczna
Impresionante como hace el coro sin ningun esfuerzo, se me pone los pelos de punta, grande Cyndi😍🥰💖
They way she holds those long notes it's absolutely incredible
lol i tried to sing along as i was watching this lol scary
.. and she doesn't just hold those long notes, she bends and re-shapes them in wonderful ways!.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
She has tremendous vocal capabilities!!
Likely the most underrated female vocalist of the last thirty years.... kudos to her for still knockin' it out of the park... just sayin'
Proof that women can still dance and sing after 50, she sings beautifully live looks amazing too.👍🏻This is one of my favorite songs of hers.
I am 75 now and still love Cyndi.
I'm 15 years old and just began loving Cyndi.. thx mom!
@@tomtetreau8901 well done,enjoy it,that's the real music
thank god we grew up when we did there are no more debbie harrys or cyndi laupers out there and how bout the one from heart that does stairway to heaven great era for music and everything no hater nobody cared if you were black or white gay or straight right or left just a great time was had by all feel bad for the kids today too much hate not a good time
She´s so gorgeous! Many artist should learn 5% of talent about she.
OMG!! !! Cyndi is still alive and kicking singing live.! That is why she still my favorite female rock vocalist..
I'm barely human and I got them.
You know this is 17 years ago, don't you?
The Cindy's voice and distortion rhythm guitar is beautiful!
I was on edge on my seat with the largest smile on my face, she makes me so happy. Long love Cyndi !!!
Watching this performance tells me, AGAIN, that´s she´s definetly one of the most underrated artists ever. Yes, she had huge success with her first two albums but then people just seemed to have completely forgotten she existed. She´s in her 60´s now and her incredible voice and charisma stil remain.
And i agree!
@@angemusik9406 Much better than Madonna, in my opinion. It´s just that Madonna is a great businesswoman while Lauper was a lot bolder which, in the end, didn´t help her (commercially speaking).
Looking and sounding fabulous. Timeless
Fantastic both were unfortunately i dont hink alot of ppl will associate this with Roy Orbison though
David didn't say anything about RO. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people who make asinine comments and can't use proper grammar.
Cindy is amazing, David. Timeless, beyond talented, and a true gift.
P.S. Roy didn't release his version til AFTER Cindy did, so........
07jeepgirl I'm with you. Amazing talent and beautiful person. Unique and quirky and never get tired of hearing that voice.
More than that!!!
I love you, Cyndi Lauper! You introduced and mesmerized me with this amazing song on your LP in the late 80s. This live version gives it it incredible brilliance and showcases your amazing vocal and performance range. No one can touch this performance. And I'm a huge Roy Orbison fan. You make him and all of us mighty proud!
you realise this was written for cyndi lauper by roy orbison and produced before roy orbisons version
Cyndi's amazing version. Her vocal technique is Incommensurable, from another planet !!
This song reminds me of my young days when I was driving at night coming back from the discotheques
No auto tune,no tricking no bullshit,just a real singer...
She's singing without playback?!???

Pardon non d respect 😊
She's always been an amazing, an original artist. Expressive with telling the story in the lyrics. Her distinctive voice. Her voice range. She's wonderful with this performance!!
Yes she gave me the chills..
Amazing rendition!! The power and control was unbelievable....she still got it!! 🤸
Interpretación fuera de este mundo..... Simplemente MAGISTRAL.... Gracias Cyndi.
Watching this in awe and admiration, and then, just when I thought I could die in peace she comes back at the minute 3:00 and kills me again with the switch in her voice. Just marvelous!!
She's an angel...or maybe a goddess walking the Earth as this marvelous woman...that voice...that voice...OMG...produces me an accelerated heart and goosebumps. God bless Cindy!
It's not the voice range of 4 octaves, it's not being a great singer, not even about being true artist.
What makes her so mesmerizing to us, is her pure soul, honesty and kindheartedness. That is from where all of her greatness emerges, and that is why she was blessed with youthfull look and coolness of eternal girl.
Wish I could talk with her about some philosofical stuff regarding life, because I believe she could tell many unique truths and wisdoms - unique as only she is.
I love her❤❤❤❤
Beautiful voice, outstanding vocals, the passion, awesome
Impecable, Cyndi Lauper hace una excelente presentación en vivo, excelente show de Cyndi Lauper 😍🎶
Roy Orbison must be happy in heaven with this version ❤️
fuc k yes.
but Cyndi recorded first!!

I did not realize how beautiful Cyndi's voice truly is until I listened to this one. Thanks for sharing.
An ageless beauty, incredible voice
Cindy Lauper sempre maravilhosa 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇧🇷🇧🇷
Que poderío,que pedazo de artista,irrepetible,nos deleita con esa ejecución magistral,eterna Cindy Lauper
Wow...Just...Wow😢
WOW!!!! She killed it!! Her voice and the violin... amazing combination!!
Cindy Lauper es única en su estilo. Y aunque pasen los años sus ojos conservan esa mirada tan clásica de ella así como su magnífica interpretación y voz.
Que voz tan maravillosa y que control de las notas altas .....es única y aún con la edad que tiene .....es única , inmortal.
Cyndi Lauper honrou o mestre Roy Orbison com uma gravação de mesmo nível, com bom gosto e qualidade vocal constantes em seus trabalhos. Obrigado Cyndi. Você é demais!
Great comment
Asi es mi buen amigo. En esta oportunidad solo esta cantante me hace dudar con cual version quedarme... Si con la de un Roy brillante o con la majestuosa voz de esta artista... Me quedo con las dos
Pedazo de tema!!! Cindy es puro talento, gran voz y desplante escénico
Pedazo de macho tu loco
Que rico estás con todo respeto
Cyndi Lauper rocks the stage! Love her so much ❤️
That's called TALENT
Jesus Christ. What a legend.
*Me emociono por ter ido no show de 89 no Maracanãzinho - Rj .. INESQUECÍVEL !!!*
Esta foi uma das minhas maiores frustrações. Eu morava em Porto Velho-RO. Quando fiquei sabendo da vinda dela ao Brasil, já não dava tempo de ir assistir ao show.
OMG....I ❤️❤️❤️ this tune! Still sounds so fantastically fresh!😍🎶
Her vocal control is outstanding...
Perfect pitch and a 3-octave range is a rare gift.
@@wastrelway3226 4 octaves 🧐
The passion is palpable. It came out when I was an intense college girl-- so relatable!
Ella es la reina del pop ,Cindy Lauper
Tem muito talento
Diva! Perfeita! Afinação nota 1.000!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Meus dias são sempre melhores em ouvi-la cantar !
How can that crowd being sitting down! I would be rocking it with her!!! Great job Cyndi!!!
Exactly!
That is one of the thoughts that I had....I can't understand it!
She was sooo living it!
They were listening, and in awe of her talent. That's cool enough. :)))
Maybe because they were recording it? Who knows.
Os anos se passam e a Cyndi Lauper continua cantando muitíssimo bem como sempre! MARAVILHOSA!
Sem dúvida! Uma das cantoras mais injustiçadas da indústria fonográfica.
Pido un minuto de silencio por aquella época hermosa que no volverá... Sólo Cindy fue, es y será la mejor.
First time I've seen this. Reduced to tears within the first minute of the song. Her performance is so convincing and her voice is something else absolutely fantastic.
One of the few songs I’ve heard when both versions are equally awesome 😎 love the strings of Cyndi’s and the guitar and drums of Roy’s 😎
Scott Luther, I didn’t realise Celine did a version. I’ll check it out. Although I’m not a real Celine fan. Thanks Scott 👍🏻
@Scott Luther actually wrong it was written by Billy schienburg and tom kelly they were the original others copied it
@Scott Luther they recorded it pretty much the same time roy died so Cyndi Lauper had hers release 1st it was intended for roy but since he died his wasnt out till 1992 Cyndi recorded it and ask hers to be released she had 6 Grammys awards for it
@Scott Luther Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg wrote this. They have written many hit songs, including "Like A Virgin," "Eternal Flame" and "True Colors." Many of their songs start with a lyric or title Steinberg comes up with. He was living in the Coachella Valley in California and did a lot of driving back and forth between Los Angeles and the desert. He came up with the title on one of those drives.
Steinberg: "Tom and I were huge Roy Orbison fans. Tom grew up in Indiana and I grew up in Palm Springs, California and we really are as different as night and day as people, but the one thing that we have always shared in common is that we always liked the same music when we were kids. We both loved the Everly Brothers, Laura Nyro and Roy Orbison. We had, like most songwriters do, certain artists who inspired us and would inspire our songwriting, and one of those was Roy Orbison. When we wrote the song 'I Drove All Night,' we didn't entertain any fantasy about Roy ever recording this song. We just set out to write a song sort of in the style of Roy Orbison. In fact, what I would refer to as the B section of that song, the British would call it a pre-chorus, when it goes, 'Taste your sweet kisses your arms open wide,' that part that lifts into the chorus, it has a definite similarity to the Roy Orbison song 'Running Scared.' We had great fun writing that song because it felt like it authentically captured the spirit of the drama that Roy Orbison would inject into the great songs that he wrote, songs like 'Running Scared', 'Crying' or 'In Dreams.'"
The first person Steinberg and Kelly offered this to was Peter Kingsbery, a singer from Texas who was in the band Cock Robin. Says Steinberg, "We heard Cock Robin play live and this guy Peter Kingsbery had this great voice very much like Roy Orbison - it's a powerful voice. We thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if he would sing I Drove All Night, so we invited him over to Tom's house where we had a studio. Peter was a good guy, a little bit arrogant. He heard the song and he liked it, but he said, 'Well, I'm a songwriter myself. Why would I record one of your songs?' it was a nice meeting, but he didn't have any interest in recording our song."
On February 9, 1987, Steinberg and Kelly saw Orbison perform at a supper club in Lakewood, California called The Hop. Says Steinberg, "When we walked in, the place was jammed and most of the people there were middle-aged women. At that time Roy hadn't had a record on the charts in many years. He did not have a recording contract. Roy hadn't been heard from in a long time. The band went up on stage, Roy was not in sight and there were a couple of background singers. The band starts playing and the girls start singing the intro to 'Only the Lonely.' I sort of braced myself. I said to myself, 'His vocals on his records are so otherworldly and so unbelievable that there's no way the guy's going to walk in this club and sing those songs like he did on those records.' Roy Orbison walks out and he sang 'Only the Lonely' and he sang all his hits and if it's possible he sang them better than he did on his records. It was just unbelievable. It was one of the great moments in my life, just to be there in this small club and hear Roy sing one hit after another. When the show was over, Tom and I wandered outside and there was his trailer.
Of course, we were hoping to meet Roy. We didn't, but we met somebody who I guess was Roy's manager at the time. We mentioned we had written a few hits and were Roy Orbison fans. Not much came out of that, then for some reason I went into a studio called Record One in Sherman Oaks and Roy Orbison was in there recording. I went up to him and said, 'A few months ago Tom and I heard you play at this club and you were so good.' We kind of connected and somehow we arranged that he would come by Tom's house and do some work with us and that maybe we would write together. We had already written 'I Drove All Night.' We had a demo of it with Tom singing it.
Tom and I walked out and were standing out in the street. We looked down the street and we saw in the distance a red Ferrari convertible coming up the street and we both knew that had to be Roy Orbison. He was driving slowly like someone would who was looking for a street number. As the car pulled up, we saw a guy with big black sunglasses, black hair, and there on a residential street in Woodland Hills was Roy Orbison getting out of his red Ferrari to work with Tom and me. Working with Chrissie Hynde, the Bangles or The Divinyls is one thing because those are people of my generation, but Roy had been a childhood idol. Roy was somebody whose songs just changed my life when I was a kid, so to have him standing there as a peer, someone I was going to work with, my knees wanted to buckle. We walked into Tom's house and there was the idea that we could write something together and he just didn't seem to really want to start writing a song, so rather than write something we said, 'Well, we've got a song that we think you could sing really well,' and we played him 'I Drove All Night.' He said he liked it.
Tom played either piano or guitar and taught him the song. Roy stepped up to the microphone. We all had headphones on and Roy sang two takes of the song. Tom and I had written into that song a section that goes, 'Uh-huh, yeah,' and when Tom sang it on our demo we would laugh because Tom was blatantly trying to sound like Roy, and then when Roy did it, it was a moment that was just unbelievable because Roy did it like it was supposed to be done. Roy did those two takes of the song and I gave him some song lyrics. He took them with him with the idea that he might write something to them or that we could work on something in the future. So we had this demo of Roy Orbison singing 'I Drove All Night,' but Roy didn't have a recording contract at the time and Tom and I didn't have the wherewithal to do anything with Roy Orbison's version of the song.
We couldn't sign him to a recording contract or promote him or anything at that point in time. We didn't know what to do with it. By that time 'True Colors' had been a big hit for Cyndi Lauper and she had expressed an interest in meeting us and in writing with us, so Tom and I flew to New York and we took with us the demo of 'I Drove All Night' sung by Tom because we figured that she could sing it well. We wrote a couple of songs with Cyndi and we presented this song 'I Drove All Night' to her and she liked it and immediately went about recording it. Tom and I even participated in demonstrating the song to a couple of musicians that she worked with. She recorded it and it came out on her record called A Night to Remember (1989)."
Later in 1987, Roy Orbison got a recording contract with Virgin Records. Working with Jeff Lynne, he recorded the successful comeback album Mystery Girl, which contained the hit 'You Got It.' He also joined The Traveling Wilburys with Lynne, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Bob Dylan. Sadly, Orbison died of a heart attack on December 7, 1988. Says Steinberg:
"From afar we sort of watched Roy's career come back. We were pleased for him but we didn't participate because all the great admirers of Roy had started to come out of the woodwork. People like Jeff Lynne, Bruce Springsteen and Bono.
He didn't exactly need Steinberg/Kelly when he had people of that caliber wanting to work with him. Roy died and a number of years went by. Tom and I took our demo of 'I Drove All Night' to Jordan Harris, who was an A&R guy at Virgin. We got to know Jordan because we worked with The Divinyls, who were signed to Virgin. We said to Jordan, 'Did you know Roy did a version of I Drove All Night early on?' And he said, 'No, I had no idea.' We played it for him and he said, 'We want to make a record of the remaining masters that we have on Roy. We'd love to use that.' Our demo had been a very rough 16-track affair. We gave it to Jeff Lynne and Jeff rebuilt the track around the vocal that we had cut on Roy. That was very satisfying for us." (Check out our interview with Billy Steinberg.)
Cyndi Lauper's version hit #6 in the US and #7 in the UK. It was her last hit in the US.
In 2003, Chrysler signed Celine Dion to a $14 million deal to endorse their cars. They were looking for a song to use in the campaign and release as a single. Steinberg knew Celine Dion and had written "Falling Into You," which was the title track of her 1996 album. He sent a copy of Roy Orbison's version of "I Drove All Night" to her record company, who loved it and had Dion record it with Swedish producer Peer Astrom. She used the song in her Las Vegas show and it became the centerpiece of the Chrysler campaign. The commercials were great exposure for the song and helped sell a lot of albums, but they didn't sell enough cars. Chrysler pulled out of the deal after many of their dealers complained and it became clear the ads weren't working.
