The Dillards -- I've Just Seen A Face

Eva Cassidy -- Yesterday

Al Green -- I Want To Hold your Hand

Moving Sidewalks -- I Want To Hold your Hand
Billy (ZZ Top) Gibbons on guitar

Peter Sellers -- A Hard Day's Night


Unfortunately one of my favorite Beatle covers, "Don't Let Me Down" by Gene Clark, is not on YouTube :-(

Yesterday- Boyz II Men (and I think this has become the definitive version of the song)

Come Together- MJ

I understand you didn't want to kill the joke (as the YouTube page in fact does), but blind links are poo-pooed (and you know how disgusting that is) on this board re: Chicken's sticky

I don't know if a copy of the song exists today, but Potliquor (old BR band) used to do a nice cover of I Want You/She's So Heavy. I'll keep looking for it.

I know he wrote it in the style of Fats I never heard he wrote it for him

FYI Paul took the riff from this:

Bad Penny Blues
