Dolly Parton included the song on her 1984 album of covers The Great Pretender. A remixed version of the song was later included on 1986's Think About Love, and the remixed version was released as a single in the fall of 1986, just as Parton was leaving RCA (her label of the previous nineteen years). It would be her last charting single during her tenure with RCA.
