Other Renditions

Glen Campbell recorded a version in 1973 which influenced the Oak Ridge Boys' rendition. The song was adapted twice - once by Hovie Lister and the Statesmen Quartet in 1974 with gospel-themed verses, and by the American Broadcasting Company in 1978 into their "We're The One" advertising campaign with a more 70's pop style, frequently featuring their network stars lip-syncing the song.
