Joni was approached because of Klein's involvement in the film; Joni at first said no, because all she had in her was songs about how bad the music business was. Then her cat split, and the rest is history. Both Joni's original piano version, and Chaka Khan's version are much nicer than the one on TTT, although that one is pretty nice too!
