The song has been widely recorded and has become a hit single for six different artists: Arnold, Stevens, Keith Hampshire (1973), Rod Stewart (1977), Papa Dee (1995), and Sheryl Crow (2003).

Stevens made a demo recording of "The First Cut Is the Deepest" in 1965, while hoping to become a songwriter. [5] He wrote the song to promote his songs to other artists, but did not record his own performance until early October 1967 with guitarist Big Jim Sullivan, and it did not appear until his second album, New Masters , was released in December 1967. He sold the song for £30 to P. P. Arnold, and it became a huge hit for her. [6] Over decades, it also became an international hit for Keith Hampshire, Rod Stewart, and Sheryl Crow. The song has won Stevens songwriting awards, including two consecutive ASCAP songwriting awards for "Songwriter of the Year" in 2005 and 2006. [7] Stevens's version was not released as a single until 1972 when it was released as an Australia-only single in promotion of Stevens's 1970 compilation album The World of Cat Stevens. [1]
