Stevie Wonder’s We Can Work It Out has to be the best one by far.
I think it might be the only one I actually care for enough to play it in my rotation. I’m extremely picky about Beatle covers and I think most of them are garbage.

I completely forgot about Keith Moon’s In My Life .
It’s beautiful if you consider the kind of person he was when he was stripped of the silliness. Shows his other side well.

Offline Fiona Apple’s “Across The Universe ” is quite good. Love the way she sings it simply and honestly, like John.
In the video, look for John C. Reilly stealing (saving?) 45s from the smashed jukebox.

I think someone mentioned that song on the worst covers thread…

Offline Booker T and the MG's did a really weird Beatles cover called “Medley Avenue” which is just a instrumental form of Abbey Road and it just mashes up some of the songs together like a medley. It's pretty cool, it's basically using an organ for the vocals, but they're a really tight funk band that definitely adds a uniqueness that is very “Beatle-like”. And recently the Easy Starr
All Stars did their version of Pepper with Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Dub Band which is just a reggae version of the album but it's pretty cool. I don't really like straight covers, although I would definately recommend YouTubing Yolanda Adams and Billy Preston's version of Imagine …it nearly brought a tear to my eye the first time I heard it. I don't know if anyone could really duplicate an actual Beatles tune all that well though, even though I'm sure it's been done.

Offline I’ve just heard Eleanor Rigby by that genius Ray Charles. Amazing soul version.
I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.

Offline I like the movie Across The Universe cover Why Don’t We Do it In the Road sung by Dana Fuchs.
I know this is a terribly awful thing for me to say, but personally I like the cover better than the original version with Paul singing.

When the song started I was like “Uh?” but as while I was listening to it I was blown away. What a way to take a song with such unique style and make it your own and at the same time, making you feel what the original writer intended.
Thanks for sharing Marcelo. I see that Ray Charles did other Beatles covers. I’m checking them.

Offline I remember reading that Ray Charles said “he’d heard them a few times” and they weren’t his thing but “they’re alright.”
Then he proceeds to make a memorable cover. =P
