Came in here expecting to see With a Little Help from My Friends by Joe Cocker, and am shocked to not find it mentioned yet.

While I understand some people like some artists takes of Beatle songs, I always thought nobody could actually do them justice, properly.

However, there were several covers that the Beatles did early on, where I thought they actually did them so much better than the originals. A few that come to mind are "Roll Over Beethoven", "Rock and Roll Music", "Kansas City, Hey Hey Hey", "Words of Love", "Honey Don't", and "Till There was You".

Kind of unrelated since not all are different genres, but just my thoughts.

What about Smith's (Gayle McCormick, lead singer) 1969 rock version of Hal David/ Burt Bacharach's song "Baby It's You", which had been a pop hit in the early 1960's by both the Shirelles and Beatles.

If you haven't heard it, the Smith version is a treat (can't YouTube it for some reason).
