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.

Bit Harder)”. He is actually actor Jon Voight’s brother
