The version of this song that was played on the radio and got popular, well, imo it was nothing but a so-so pop song. This version of the same has some soul to it. Give it a chance.
And actually, Steve Martin is too. Here's a mostly solo piece written and performed by Steve with Nicky Sanders on the fiddle. Whoever uploaded this to YT used old pics mostly from Steve's comedy shows. However, this piece is from the 2011 Grammy nominated album by Steve and the Steep Canyon Rangers - Rare Bird Alert
