 James Booker covered the song on his 1993 album "Spiders On The Keys".In 1995, The Sisters of Glory, a gospel group that featured Thelma Houston, CeCe Peniston, Phoebe Snow, Lois Walden, and Albertina Walker, included the composition to their album "Good News in Hard Times" released on Warner Bros.

Mike Doughty adapted the refrain of the song for a new song of a similar title on his album "Sad Man Happy Man".Additionally, Doughty's former band Soul Coughing performed a partial version live on occasion, usually as a segue into another song.
