"Here I Go Again" first showed up on Whitesnake's 1982 album Saints & Sinners, written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden and produced by Martin Birch, who engineered and mixed it too. This is the original cut: Jon Lord's keyboards out front, Marsden and Micky Moody on guitars, Neil Murray on bass, Ian Paice on drums, and Coverdale's big, bluesy voice carrying the whole thing.

In Britain it stalled at number 34 on the singles chart, and in America it wasn't released at all. The band cut it again for their 1987 self-titled album, and that re-recording crept all the way to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, turning the song into what some critics call the signature tune of Coverdale and Whitesnake.
