Notable cover versions

  • In 1995, R&B singer Roberta Flack recorded the song for use in the Forest Whitaker-directed film, Waiting to Exhale. The song appears in the closing credits, but not on the film's soundtrack album.
  • Filipino singer Erik Santos also revived and covered the song as a duet with Marinel Santos in 2003 and it was used as the theme song of the Philippine drama series, It Might Be You.
  • In 2013, the song appeared over the closing credits of the film The Pretty One, covered by K A R Y Y N and Julian Wass.[11] The Pretty One shares with Tootsie the theme of a person assuming a different identity.
  • In October 2015, Filipino singer and actor Michael Pangilinan covered the song and it was used as the theme song of the movie Everyday I Love You.
