- Melba Moore recorded a Philly soul version of the song for her 1978 Epic Records album release Melba produced by McFadden & Whitehead with Jerry Cohen.[6][7][8] The singer and her producers had aimed at scoring Moore a breakout hit with a Bee Gees cover and chose "You Stepped Into My Life", the group's own original version being comparatively low-profile.[9] "You Stepped Into My Life" did afford Moore a major club hit and became the second and most successful of her two Billboard Hot 100 singles while remaining a Top 40 shortfall with a #47 peak. The track also reached #17 on the Billboard ranking of R&B singles[10]
- Wayne Newton released his version as a single in 1979 on Aries Records; it reached #90 in the U.S.
