   Only 1 version recorded by Procol, but cover versions by different artists exist.

   I’ve heard it done many times but the one that sticks out the most is the HSAS version of it. They were a “Super-group” in the early 80s, made up of Sammy Hagar, Neil Schon,Kenny Aaronson, and Michael Shrieve. It’s a very hard disc to find, but, I like their version better. If you find it, check out “Top of the Rock”, it’s an awesome track also

   Probably a lot of covers, but PH did only one version…

   Annie Lennox from Eurythmics covered the song on her album “Medusa”.
