Huey Lewis & The News' "Jacob's Ladder" reached the number one spot on the Billboard charts in June 1987, showcasing their signature rock sound. The song, written by Bruce Hornsby and his brother John Hornsby, features a powerful melody and thought-provoking lyrics that explore themes of perseverance and spiritual struggle. Its energetic vibe and relatable message resonated with fans, solidifying its place as a rock anthem of the 80s.

"Jacob's Ladder" was originally intended for Bruce Hornsby's album, but he felt that Huey Lewis & The News would do it justice. The song not only topped the charts but also became the band's third and final number-one hit.
