"Jacob's Ladder" is a 1986 song written by Bruce Hornsby and his brother John Hornsby and recorded by Huey Lewis and the News. It became a number-one hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1987, the band's third. Set in Birmingham, Alabama, the song marries the Biblical image of Jacob's Ladder to someone who rejects proselytizing evangelists, and is instead struggling to get through life one day at a time: :''Step by step, one by one, higher and higher :''Step by step, rung by rung, climbing Jacob's ladder. The song was given by Hornsby to his friend Lewis, and it appeared on the group's September 1986 album ''Fore!''. It was the third single released from the album, and topped the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for a week in March 1987.〔 A music video was filmed of the band performing the song in a live concert. Bruce Hornsby later recorded his own rendition of the song for his 1988 album, ''Scenes from the Southside''. It became part of his concert repertoire as well; a live bluegrass-influenced version (very different from the version on ''Scenes from the Southside'') appears on the 2006 album ''Intersections (1985–2005)'', which Hornsby performed with his brother John. ==Charts== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacob's Ladder (Huey Lewis and the News song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
