I Drove All Night is a posthumous Roy Orbison singles album. It includes the first release of the song "I Drove All Night" - written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally intended for Orbison. Orbison recorded the song in 1987, the year before his death on December 6, 1988, aged 52.
Orbison’s version of the song was not released until 1991 in this posthumous singles album, and then on the King of Hearts album, also a posthumous album of Orbison songs put together from master sessions and demos by Jeff Lynne for Virgin Records, and Orbison's 23rd album overall. According to the authorized Roy Orbison biography, the collection was originally released in October 1992 on CD, music cassette, and LP.
The song was later also recorded by Cyndi Lauper and released it as a single for her A Night to Remember.
