Moon Martin originally recorded the song in 1978.

His original recording did not enter the music charts.[2]

A year later the song appeared on Robert Palmer's 1979 album Secrets. In Palmer's home country, the United Kingdom, the song debuted and peaked at #61 on the UK Singles Chart on 7 July 1979.[3]
