Who Sings 'I Drove All Night' In The Jeep Commercial With Derek Jeter?

“I Drove All Night” has attracted the cream of the crop when it comes to pop artists with big voices. The song was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and recorded by music legend Roy Orbison. His version of the tune was released posthumously in 1992, and it made an impact on the UK Singles charts, hitting #7. 

Cyndi Lauper would have the honor of bringing “I Drove All Night” to the American pop charts, beating Orbison’s version to the market by three years. Her take on the tune — the lead single from her album “A Night to Remember” — hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989 and was also a top 50 hit on the Adult Contemporary chart. Her take on the tune was also a #7 hit in the United Kingdom.

Decades later, Celine Dion would cover the song for her album “One Heart.” Dion’s rendition turns “I Drove All Night” into a thumping mid-tempo club anthem, and Dion fittingly signed a deal with Chrysler to appear in commercials for their car line to cross-promote the tune. Dion’s version was a #2 hit on the Billboard Dance Club charts and made it to #45 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was a #1 hit in Dion’s native country of Canada, and it was also a hit in the Netherlands and Sweden.

It’s safe to say the song has quite the pedigree — one that Francesca Blanchard has only added to.
