“HERE I GO AGAIN” by WHITESNAKE
“Here I Go Again” is a power ballad that was originally recorded (in 1982) by British rock band, Whitesnake. After failing to chart effectively, the band decided to re-release the track (in 1987) with a beefier, more powerful sound. It was this version that resonated throughout North America.
In 2012, the readers of Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at #9 on their list of the “Best Hair Metal Songs of All-Time”.
On this very day, October 16th 1987, it was the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. Taken from their 1987 self-titled album, here’s WHITESNAKE, with “HERE I GO AGAIN”…
