Why it's here
Dobie Gray's recording became his biggest hit, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a gold certification from the RIAA. [1] The song has drawn cover versions from a wide range of artists, including a country rendition by Narvel Felts, a hit UK cover by Michael Bolton, a chart-topping Adult Contemporary duet version by Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray himself, and an unreleased Rolling Stones take later issued on the Tattoo You reissue. [2] The Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray version spent a then-record-setting 28 weeks atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. [3]
