Pat Boone was the first to release a recording of the song when it was featured on his 1969 album Departure, predating Buckley's album. However, the song has become perhaps Buckley's most famous due to a number of artists covering the song after his death in 1975, notably the British ensemble This Mortal Coil in 1983.
