American country-pop music artist Glen Campbell covered the song for his Grammy-winning 1967 LP By the Time I Get to Phoenix and released it as the second single from the album. Campbell's more grandiose version reached number 13 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart [3] and in February 1968 peaked at 54 on the Hot 100. The single also reached the Top Ten on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada. Campbell's follow-up LP Hey Little One , released in March 1968 just four months after its predecessor, also featured the track.
