The song has become covered by later artists, most notably Amii Stewart in 1979. Stewart’s disco version was the most successful on weekly music charts. Amii Stewart released a disco version of the song in 1978. It reached number one on the US charts in April 1979; it also made it to the soul singles and disco charts, becoming the best-known version of the song. This recording was co-produced by Simon May. It reached the Top 10 twice in the UK, first in 1979 (peaking at number 6) and again in a remixed version in 1985 (peaking at number 7). The version earned a Gold certification on March 22, 1979, and then a Platinum certification on August 1 the same year from the RIAA when the single sold one or two million units. It would become one of “anthems for the gay community“. Stewart’s rendition of the song earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1980. In the 1998 movie 54, actress/singer Mary Griffin portrayed Amii Stewart, performing the song “Knock on Wood“, at the famed discothèque Studio 54 in New York City. While performing, Griffin wore an apparently very similar extravagant outfit (and particularly the headgear) to that which Stewart wore in the official video to “Knock on Wood“ in 1979. Although it was obvious that Griffin was portraying Stewart, the credits at the end of the movie have Griffin’s character listed as Disco Star.
