Awards

The band and song won numerous Juno Awards in 1972, including Best Single,[9] Songwriter of the Year (guitarist Rich Dodson), Record Producer of the Year (Mel Shaw), and the band was named Canada's Top Group.

Cover versions

The song has been covered by many musicians over the years, including:

  • British band The Dave Clark Five, in 1971, as the Stampeders single failed to chart in the UK.
  • American country music artist Johnny Carver, in 1977. Carver's version peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts.
  • Tompall & the Glaser Brothers, whose release went to number 34 on the same chart in 1980.
  • Canadian country music band Jo Hikk, on their 2009 album Ride.
  • Rapper Kyprios, who released "City Woman", a song which blended a rerecorded version of "Sweet City Woman" with original lyrics, in 2011.
  • "Champagne music" bandleader Lawrence Welk, on his Go Away Little Girl album.

The song can be heard during a flashback scene in the Better Call Saul episode "Inflatable," and in the Canadian commercial for "Dempster's Bread Farmer".
