Hip hop artist Prince Paul sampled the song as the basis for the track "Mood for Love" on his album A Prince Among Thieves (1999). In 2006, American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin performed the song. His version appears on the album American Idol Season 5: Encores. This version just missed the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number one on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The following year, smooth jazz saxophonist Najee released album "Rising Sun" which contained a cover of the song.
The song has also been covered by Queen Latifah on The Dana Owens Album; and Amy Winehouse on her first album, Frank.
This song was also covered by D.C. area Go-Go artist Chuck Brown, in an extended play compilation called "Go-Go Swing".
The song has also been covered by Italian singer Mina in her 1988's album Ridi Pagliaccio.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or versions:
“Again we have here two distinctions that are no distinctions, but made to seem so by terms invented by I know not whom to cover ignorance, and blind the understanding of the reader: for it cannot be conceived that there is any liberty greater, than for a man to do what he will.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
