Yes.
From Wikipedia:

“Angel of the Morning” is a hit pop song, charting twice for two different American female artists. The tune was originally released in 1968 by the American singer Merrilee Rush and her band, the Turnabouts. A higher-charting (and larger-selling) version in the United States was released in 1981 by country-rock chanteuse Juice Newton.

Written and composed by New York-born songwriter Chip Taylor, it was originally recorded by Evie Sands for Cameo-Parkway Records in 1967, but the record label went bankrupt, stranding the song in limbo. A representative from publishing company April-Blackwood pitched the song to Memphis producer Chips Moman and Merrilee Rush, who then recorded and released it successfully the following year. P.P. Arnold also had a hit with it in the UK the same year. A further version is sung by Billie Davis. Mary Mason also had a UK Top 30 hit with her version (”Angel of the Morning - Any Way That You Want Me”) in 1977.

“Was that Juice Newton?”

Newton’s version sucked. Merilee Rush released it during the late 60’s. Hers was the definitive version.

The Pretenders released an interesting version in 1995.
