Second Bette Midler’s _In My Life_ (from **For the Boys** , IIRC). Lovely, poignant, heartbreaking. And third Joe Cocker’s _…Help from My Friends_. Sorry – those were the two I was coming in to add. ☹ ---

/It’s Hijack Time/: Frida of ABBA recorded a Swedish version of “The Long and Winding Road” which is supposedly fantastic, but was never released. I wish I could hear it. ---

If you want to HEAR a bunch of Beatles Covers, check out the Beatles station on [VH1 Radio](http://www.vh1.com/radio). You can sign up for free, turn on the station (which pops up in a little Media Player-like window) and you’ll hear alot of covers. It’ll tell you the artist and song as you go along. You can also skip songs as you go through.
