It has been recorded by 100s of artists over the years including, Buddy Holly, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Everly Brothers, Peaches & Herb and Everything But The Girl. Elements of the song were also featured in Pitbull's 2012 hit, "Back in Time" which was featured on the closing credits of the motion picture "Men in Black 3" and charted all over the world making No 1 in several territories.
