In 1981, Jamaican reggae singer Sugar Minott scored his biggest hit with a cover version of the song, reaching number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.[1][2]

Die in Your Arms by Canadian singer Justin Bieber samples the song.

EastEnders actor-turned-singer Sid Owen had a number 14 hit in the UK with the song in 2000.[4]
