Was there ever a pop music recording of "Do not go gentle into that good night"?

I have a distinct memory of hearing those words from Dylan Thomas’ poem sung on the radio. It might not have been the entire poem. As I recall it, the line “Do not go gentle into that good night” was immediately followed by “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” I was sure that it was done by Bob Dylan, but I did a Web search and could come across no such recording. Too bad. Bob Dylan’s voice would have been a perfect vehicle for that poem by his namesake. The only thing that I could find was a recording of the poem by John Cale. Is that what I heard? Please tell me I am not being completely delusional.
