Glen Campbell originally recorded the song on his 1973 album I Knew Jesus (Before He Was a Star), which influenced the Oak Ridge Boys' rendition. The song was adapted twice—once by Hovie Lister and the Statesmen Quartet in 1974 with gospel-themed verses, and by the American Broadcasting Company in 1978 into their "We're The One" advertising campaign with a more 70's pop style, frequently featuring their network stars lip-syncing the song.
