"Hearts of Stone" has also been recorded by:
*[[Ruby Wright]] (credited as Ruby Wells) on [[RCA Victor]] in 1954. This was the first recording of the song by a white performer and retained the original "I thought your daddy knew" lyric which was changed to "I thought you knew" in most cover versions.
*[[The Fontane Sisters]] on [[Dot Records]] in 1954. This version, arranged by [[Billy Vaughn]], reached #1 on the Billboard in early 1955 and was the group's highest charting hit.
*[[The Chordettes]] on a 1955 [[Cadence Records]] EP, 8 Top Hits, largely duplicating the arrangement from the Fontane Sisters' recording.
*[[Connie Francis]] on a 1958 [[MGM Records]] single. This version generally followed the Fontane Sisters' recording but was slightly faster and featured an electric guitar outro.
*[[John Fogerty]] and [[The Blue Ridge Rangers]] in 1973, which reached number 37 on the ''Billboard'' [[Hot 100]],<ref>{{cite book |title= Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles, 14th Edition: 1955-2012 |last=Whitburn |first=Joel |authorlink=Joel Whitburn |year=2013 |publisher=Record Research |page=306}}</ref> and number 35 in [[RPM (magazine)|Canada]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f2/nlc008388.4824.pdf| title=RPM Top 100 Singles - May 19, 1973}}</ref>
