Roy Orbison recorded it a year later as the B-side to his #1 hit, “Running Scared". Jim Capaldi, formerly of the band “Traffic”, took a version to #4 in the UK in 1975. The 1975 version by “Nazareth” would become an international hit and classic rock staple - reaching #8 in the US, #15 in the UK, and #1 in Canada and Norway.
