Cyndi Lauper "I Drove All Night"

Roy Orbison originally recorded "I Drove All Night" in 1987, but the song didn't get released until 1992 (post-humously for Orbison).  Credit Cyndi Lauper for making the song a hit in 1989.  Several years later, Chrysler paid Celine Dion $14 million to endorse their cars.  As part of the ad campaign, Dion re-made "I Drove All Night" and turned it into a Top 10 hit on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 2003.
