The international release of "Feelings" sold over 300.000 copies and reached number 45 on the Billboard Magazine Hot 100 in 1975 [1]. "Feelings" was also recorded and performed by many other artists, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Sarah Vaughan, Johnny Mathis, Ray Conniff and The Offspring.
