It was first recorded by Crazy Horse and issued as the final track on side one of their 1971 eponymous album . It was Whitten's signature tune, but gained more fame via its numerous cover versions, especially that by Rod Stewart . </P> <P> In 1975, Rod Stewart recorded the song at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama, for his album Atlantic Crossing . This became successful when it was released as a single . In the United States, it became a top fifty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1980 (#46 pop and #44 adult contemporary). In the United Kingdom, it topped the UK Singles Chart as a double A-side with "The First Cut Is the Deepest" in 1977 . The song is widely believed to have benefitted from being deliberately released as a budget single in order to keep the Sex Pistols' ' God Save The Queen' off the top of the UK Singles Chart . </P>
