“If I had [heard Janis Joplin’s version], my version would’ve been a lot different, but a friend of mine in Nashville had recorded it on another female, and they recorded it country, and that’s how I learned it,” Hill explained. “So when [my producer] Scott Hendricks and I started working together, we just took that and made it our own. We added my personality and style to it.”
A third version of the tune, and the original, was recorded by Emma Franklin, who, in 1967, took her soul-tinged track to the No. 10 spot on Billboard’s Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart. Other interpretations of the hit include Dusty Springfield’s in 1968 and Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone’s duet on the song in 2005.
