Doug and Jean Carn recorded "Acknowledgement" with female vocals for their 1972 album Infant Eyes. John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana recorded a guitar version of "Acknowledgement". which they titled "A Love Supreme" on their 1973 collaboration Love Devotion Surrender. At the time, both were devotees of guru Sri Chinmoy.
Will Downing released an R&B cover version of the main theme, with the co-operation of John's widow Alice Coltrane, which reached number fourteen in the UK singles chart in 1988. Gumball recorded an alternative rock version of A Love Supreme as a bonus track on the 1994 Japanese release of Revolution On Ice. The suite has also been recorded several times by Branford Marsalis. It forms a track on the bonus CD for the 1994 compilation album Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool, four tracks on the 2002 Branford Marsalis Quartet album titled Footsteps of Our Fathers, and on the DVD "A Love Supreme Live in Amsterdam." Branford's brother Wynton recorded the suite in 2003 with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.A Love Supreme - Wynton Marsalis official web site

replies: text: I agree that it' not all noteworthy, while other things are missing. Reference-wise, for starters, I'll point out that Chris Parker's entry on Marc Johnson in Ian Carr, Fairweather, and Priestley's Rough Guide to Jazz writes: "A highlight is a ringingly positive version of Coltrane's "Resolution", from A Love Supreme". A highlight on Bass Desires, that is, an album which the same text marks as "a highly influential album, still sounding fresh thanks to Frisell and Scofield's pleasingly contrasting styles". Will dig for some more, particularly on Murray's version. ---Sluzzelin talk 19:30, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

text: Ashley Kahn's book on the album mentions "David Murray's artfully arranged octet version" of "Acknowledgement" as one "deserving special mention", and that chapter lists quite a few more interpretations. Don't have a copy of the book, currently. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:03, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
