For sure. It depends on which stations you were listening
to at the time. Don't even get me started on the rap vs.
no rap versions of various pop hits!

It's possibly a toss up on which version CHR stations played, but as far as I know, none of the remixes were ever released commercially. For Pat's database purposes, the LP version is the official single version, while the remixes are DJ versions.

I made reference to the Chicago-like horns earlier this year. I looked and found
the person who mixed the song was none other than Humberto Gatica, who
mixed, among other bands, Chicago.

And as the decade rolled on and digital editing software
became affordable for even small-market stations, more
and more "house" edits/remixes were aired. As a music
director for much of that decade I produced my share of
'em for our stations.

I always heard the LP version on the radio. But some years later I found a promo CD single which included an AC remix, which left out the electric guitar solo in the instrumental section. I actually liked the instrumental section with the elec guitar, but felt the LP version was hotter overall (which I liked) so I made my own edit that used the LP version but went to the AC (no elec guitar instrumental) for just the instrumental section.

It's tough. I'm glad you found a compromise, the AC mix is actually quite enjoyable. I'm still going to say the edit/remix is the version that got the most airplay. Sadly this song does not get played enough that I could catch what version they played. Typical of this type of song.
A fairly religious song going top 10 like this in 2020? Not likely.

I read my post you quoted, and there was a typo. It doesn't make sense the way I wrote it. I meant to say "I actually liked the instrumental section withOUT the elec guitar".
That would better explain why I made an edit of that section and included it in the LP mix :)
