  It’s not the original recording, but it’s one of those covers that sound so similar that you ask what the point was.

  Presumably, the point was lower licensing fees.

  The song was originally written for Stewart as ‘Faith of the Heart’ and for another recording.

  It’s worth reading the article for the history. It was another British singer, who was briefly popular but past his peak, who did the recording.
