Top Beatles covers from the time of the Beatles

Edit: honestly this whole album’s worth a listen.

 

[originally issued without the comedy bits]

 

Roy Redmond - Good Day Sunshine / That Old Time Feeling

 

'Eight Days a Week' by the Supremes on Shindig!

 

“And I Love Her” in French from 1967

 

Esther Phillips, I Love Him a minor R&B hit and the Beatles liked it well enough to get her for a UK TV special.

 

From Me to You, Lonnie Mack recorded back in the day but not released till later

 

Otis, Day Tripper

 

Yesterday, Ray Charles

 

Hard Day's Night, The Bar-Kays making it sound as much like Soul Finger as possible

 

The Fourmost / Here There & Everywhere

 

The Supremes- A Hard Days Night
Esther Philips- And I Love Him
Matt Monro- Yesterday
Cliff Bennett- Got To Get You Into My Life
The Carpenters- Ticket To Ride

 

While My Guitar Gently Weeps --The Jeff Healey Band

 

'Tomorrow Never Knows' by Junior Parker (1970)


Junior Parker - The Outside Man

 

A few more. First, Aretha Franklin with Let It Be.

 

Then Jimi Hendrix with Day Tripper.

 

Joe Cocker's early single does not get much attention.

 

I don't think this was released at the time when the Beatles walked the earth.

 

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey -- Fats Domino

 

This certainly exemplifies how superior The Beatles were musically in comparison to most of their contemporaries.

 

Smokes the original, in my opinion
