British singer Rod Stewart recorded the song at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama for his 1975 album Atlantic Crossing. When it was released as a single in 1977, it topped the singles chart in the United Kingdom as a double A-side with "The First Cut Is the Deepest".[3] The song is widely believed to have benefitted from being deliberately released as a budget single in order to keep the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" off the top of the UK singles chart.[4][5][6] In February 2021, the song received a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry for sales and streams of over 200,000.[7]

In the United States, it was released as a single in December 1979 to promote Stewart's Greatest Hits album.[8] It peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100[9] and number 44 Adult Contemporary.[10]

In 1989, Stewart cut a new rendition of the song for Storyteller – The Complete Anthology: 1964–1990. It was later included on Downtown Train – Selections from the Storyteller Anthology. The song received extensive airplay on adult contemporary radio stations in the United States as an album cut, reaching number two on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Stewart also sang this song as a duet with Amy Belle during his 2004 tour[11] and it is included in his concert DVD. The official Rod Stewart video of the performance has received over 1 billion Youtube views (as of September 23, 2024).[12]

In 1988, English musical duo Everything but the Girl released their version of the song as a stand-alone single; it was later included on the reissue of their fourth studio album, Idlewild (1988). Tracey Thorn has said that Stewart had been regarded as "a heroic figure" in her home when she was growing up, and that her brother Keith owned the "albums with grimy-sounding titles like An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down, and Gasoline Alley". She herself had "always liked Atlantic Crossing."[28]

This version was also met with success in the UK, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. It was the duo's first British top-10 hit and would remain their only one until 1995, when the Todd Terry remix of "Missing" also peaked at number three. Outside the UK, the song reached number three in Ireland and number 19 in New Zealand.
