Although Utopia's version did not reach the music charts, a
cover version by England Dan & John Ford Coley reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as spending two weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart in May 1979.

John Ford Coley
was quoted as saying: "Of all the songs we released as singles, that was my favorite. The song first of all had a classical base, and the middle had a gospel section which I loved."
