That cover is really good! This is my favorite DeVaughn version:

It's the version on the Devaughn/Captain Sky twofer promo 12". Has the "Figures Can't Calculate" cover on one side and Captain Sky looking afrofuturistic on the other. I think there's a 12" reissue, too, but I can't remember the label. I'll be on the lookout for that Craig Peyton!

yeah, it's usually on discogs for around $12-15 but i'm always hoping i'll just come across it in a shop someday

That Craig Peyton version is awesome.
Massive Attack's version is an extension of Winston Curtis' 1984 reggae cover, particularly the bassline:

This song is still so impressive to my ears, it always sounds fresh. It's one of those 'playlist for eternity' songs for me.

The 8-minute Tom Moulton mix is arguably in my all-time top 10.

Can't see it mentioned upthread but the One Blood cover is great too

It is one of those songs that you just want to go on forever.

And it feels like it's supposed to (in a good way)!

Such a good song. Co-sign on the moulton rmx as one of the best songs of all time.
