One of Roy Orbison's last recordings was "I Drove All Night", which he recorded in 1987. However, this version didn't see the light of day until well after Orbison's passing, first appearing on a Nintendo compilation CD in 1991, and then released on "King of Hearts", produced by Orbison's Traveling Wilburys mate, Jeff Lynne, a year later.
The black & white video features Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210) & Jennifer Connolly.
Before this version was released, "Drove" went up the charts via Cyndi Lauper's 1989 recording, which had Lauper using her naked body as a projection screen. Celine Dion was the last solo artist to record "Drove", and that led to an endorsement deal with Chrysler.
