Ella Fitzgerald - Got To Get You Into My Life
Sarah Vaughan - You Never Give Me Your Money
Steve Earle - I’m Looking Through You
Sarah McLachlan - Blackbird
Robin Williams and Bobby McFerrin - Come Together, from the previously mentioned George Martin album.
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.
Tomorrow Never Knows as covered by Our Lady Peace, on the soundtrack for The Craft.
They also cover "Dear Prudence.
Other good Beatles covers:
The Damned-“Help”
Bad Brains-“Day Tripper”
The Necros-“I’m Down”
60s garage rockers The Music Machine do an awesome cover of Taxman too.
Godhead did a halfway decent cover of Eleanor Rigby on 2000 Years Of Human Error, but it’s certainly not worth picking the CD up just for that.
I’d be remiss not to mention Beatallica.
**Phil Collins **closed out his Face Value album with a cover of “Tommorow Never Knows” (which ends with him singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”)
My all time favorite…
The Pop-o-Pies - I Am The Walrus
Good luck finding it though.
How about a cover of a Beatles’ cover? “Baby It’s You” by the Dolly Mixture, originally by the Shirelles.

Or
“Slow Down” by The Jam, originally by Larry Williams
:smack:
Bob Welsh “I Saw Her Standing There”
My error. Bob Welch “I Saw Her Standing There” - off an album called “French Kiss”, released in 1977.
Willie Nelson’s cover of Yesterday
Barnes & Barnes’ cover of Please Please Me
Cheap Trick did what I always thought was an excellent cover of “Day Tripper”.
/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.
There’s always the surly rendition of ‘Money’ by The Flying Lizards…
Amen Corner covered Get Back and Penny Lane in the 60s. There’s a live version of the latter complete with their own fans screaming and going crazy reminiscent of Beatlemania…
Earth Wind and Fire - Got to Get You into My LIfe
