Paul McCartney once said the this was the Best Beatles cover EVER!

The Beatles intended the song to be an American-style R&B song and wanted to record it at Staxx records but didn't want to pay the fee. So what you guys are hearing is what EWF did, bring out the actual true roots of the song. Paul was ecstatic hearing this version.

I totally LOVE their groovy spin on this one! Thank you poll voters!❤❤❤💥

The Beatles originally wanted that song to sound like a Motown/R&B record but did not quite pull it off until EWF got a hold of it.

I love this reaction! I remember when they first released it back in 1978 I thought the same thing. They made it their song and did it their way. That is why it was so well received by everyone including the Beatles themselves.

One of the best covers ever made

Earth Wind And Fire Production Was Great,Even Paul Said Their Version Was Beautiful And Wonderful 😘🙏💕

I like the Earth Wind and Fire version much more than the Beatles. The horns add so much more to the song. I am a big EWF fan, listen to EWF song "In the Stone"

I love y’all commentary on this cover! Maurice White is smiling from heaven!

I forgot how good this song is. It was played to death on AM radio back in the day.

Paul said ewf did a better job with the song...the best song on Sargent Pepper album....the best band ever

This was a hit back in the day. Its been said by many that the only thing good that came out of the film Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was this song. Paul Mcartney even said it was the best Beatles cover as I recall.

This to me is their most kick ass tune i love it to death You cant help but groove to this one

Larry never heard of this before? - seriously? - this cover was huge back in the day!!!

EW&F IS AWESOME! welcome to our music….this was a great one!! It was huge! I never knew it was a cover. But idc. It will always be EW&F for me. 😊

Can you imagine if The Beatles had Earth, Wind & Fire's Horn section?

Come Together by Aerosmith is another great cover from the soundtrack of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band.

EWF all 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hello there! First time I heard this was when it was featured in the movie Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's pretty good. Love the horns! They definitely put their groovy touch to the song!'

If there IS a cover of a Beatles song that’s better than the original, this would be it. It’s a tough call though!

WOW..Listened to Beetles and EW.F and never realized....ALL THESE YEARS😂

EWF is the GOAT,this remake from my other GOAT band,is phenomenal.I only went to see Sargent “Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”only for this kick ass song😂 Maurice White,and Larry Dunn only took a few hours,to do the incredible arrangement for this song👈🏽

THANK YOU gentlemen for respecting the musicianship of Earth Wind & Fire! Maurice White (the lead singer & band founder) was from Memphis (my hometown) & he was a student in the Booker T. Washington High School marching band.

I love POOOOOOOOLL Thursday. This is a cool rendition of this song but I still can't believe it won out over the Judas Priest and Megadeth covers 😂🤘✌️

🩵🩵🩵 love this song and September, love, earth, wind, and fire

This song was covered only a couple of years after the Beatles released Got To Get You Into My Life as a single to commentate their new album of previously released material called Rock 'N' Roll Music in 1976. Both were top 10 hits and the cover version hit #1 on the Soul Chart!

Hi guys ,that was a great reaction to a brilliant version by EWF. As others have have said it was very hard to make out whether you liked it or not!😁 Other brilliant Beatles cover versions are Joe Cocker doing With A Little Help From My Friends but especially Wilson Pickett doing a superb Stax/soul version of Hey Jude with some brilliant guitar work by Duane Allman And, if want a bit of fun and a dare, one that I guarantee that you will never, ever, ever forget - no matter HOW hard you try - is Yellow Submarine by Mrs Miller😀😈

The bass playing on this is INSANE

Maurice knew how to arrange classic music to their EWF sound. From their Greatest Hits album was a "break" between the All n All and I Am albums. Truly, EWF was in their prime. They didn't recreate a Beatles' song, they created their SOUND from a Beatles song. The Phenix Horns baby!!!!!!! Johnny Graham on the guitar solo....

"I don't know if anyone can really redo a Beatle's song" ~Joe Cocker has entered the chat~

coolest cover ever

You need to here strawberry letter 23. The brothers Johnson

I love earth wind and fire. September another great song. Jimi Hendrix probably has the most famous cover all along the watchtower which is a Dylan song. Too many to pin down greatest or best song..

Yo quedé en shock cuando me enteré que era un cover The Beatles… siempre pensé que era de EWF! Lo hicieron excelente!

It fits because that is what Paul envisioned he wrote it.

Your reaction made me smile and applaud. So glad you loved it. On another note, nothing, and I mean NOTHING will prepare you for the covers performed by the Slovenian band Laibach.

The Blood, Sweat, & Tears version of this song is fantastic also. Especially that walking jazz bass line into the fadeout.

Oh come on Larry, tell us what you REALLY thought of it! Great to see the enthusiasm and it takes me back to a more groovy era, for sure. Plenty more '60s creativity and '70s fun where that came from.

Just 🔊🎼🎵🎶🎛 Rock on 😄

Strawberry 23 by the Brothers Johnson is a cover of the original by Shugy Otis and I personally think it's better than the original

I'm confused. Did Larry and Ethan like the song or not? 😁 Seriously Larry has the biggest smile and had the most fun listening to this song than any I have seen since I subscribed.

Anne Murray covered You Won't See Me by the Beatles and hit #1 with her version. Great cover!

Check out Lakeside's version of I Want To Hold Your Hand. It's a slower soulful version.

Great reaction guys! Don't get me wrong I love the Beatles version but I gotta tell ya I love earth wind and fire better........ just my opinion though ✌️

check out the brothers johnson cover the beatles come together...

there was a moment Larry and Ethan were rockin' and swayin' in synch , let's try not to do that again. what i know about E W & F - Earth: i got a place there. Wind: either end Fire: "I was drivin' in my car Turn up the radio" peace.

Love that song Lary&Ethan I'm no 5 of eight kids so I've got two old brothers and two old sisters and I'm 62 now and they all like different music that was great love it. If you two could play sweet blockbuster great song I think you two will love it

Ok, guys. You really surprised and impressed me with this reaction. But…not so fast. There’s plenty more for you to discover. Here’s a few more examples of Black artists, lending their artistry to the Beatles’ timeless lyricism. Please consider reviewing them. I’m confident that you will find something here that you’ll absolutely love! 1. Stevie Wonder: “We Can Work It Out”. 2. Lakeside: “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”. 3. Marvin Gaye: “Yesterday”

You guys are right the Earth Wind and Fire dunked and jazzed it up to make it their own. I can think of several great covers, both by Elton John, A cover of The WHO’ tune Pinball Wizard from the Tommy movie, and the other being Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds originally done by the Fab 4.Elton made both his own style. Joe Cocked did a couple of fantastic covers of Beatles tunes as well!

I think they did a good job for this cover, but then again I voted for Iron Maiden Cross Eyed Mary, which came in a close second. I know over 100 cover songs.

Suggestion: Scorpions cover of "I Can't Explain" by The Who / Pete Townshend...

Wasn't this in the movie "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?" Pretty sure that's where Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" is from too.

This popped up on my feed. My goodness this was an amazing reaction to an amazing song! Y'all so cute! You have a new sub!

E W & F are amazing! If you like covers, try Three Dog Night! They have covered Otis Redding and others.The live version at Soundstage 1975! Outstanding!

2:00 Well I guess you've never heard the cover that YES did of 'Every Little Thing'. They also did a cover of 'America' by Simon and Garfunkel, that I think you should also check out.

I'm a huge Beatles' fan and I love this version. Just like I love Ray Charles' version of "Yesterday", Stevie Wonder's version of "we can work it out", Joe Cocker's version of "with a little help from mt friends" and pretty much the whole "I am Sam" OST, which is only Beatles covers.

Would be awesome another helloween reaction... I want out... or Heavy metal is the law... You are fantastic...

GNR’s cover of Aerosmith’s “Mama Kin”is really good. Also you guys seem to favor Maiden and you should really check out “Nativity In Black” which is a tribute album to Sabbath and is excellent. Dickinson covers Sabbatth Bloody Sabbath” and absolutely slays it.

The Carpenters did a "Ticket to ride" and I enjoyed it!

There’s a KZfaq video worth checking out called; “ Why Earth, Wind, and Fire’s Version Is Better”. Something like that.

Hi guys! Hope you're having a fine unblocked Thursday!

Gong is fun, but Father was not smart enough to get it. It is time for another psych request - they seem to go over so well LOL. Check out Poor Poor Genie by Damon.

I have had an idea you might or might not like. A second chance poll. When you get enough songs come second you could put them together in another poll - just an idea.

I'm of the opinion that no artist or band has more high quality covers than the Beatles. There are many of their covers that made the charts. You guys just haven't heard them yet. You may want to try Post Modern Jukebox if you want good covers. I'd suggest starting with "Creep" and "Hold On".

McCartney’ ode to his beloved “mary Jane”

So Larry, going with the quiet poll thursday, instead of the long fun version? ☹

They did a better version of a Beatles song than tThe Beatles did. Paul has said that EW&F captured what his band was trying to do with this song.

It kinda has that Liddo song shuffle vibe to it…

👍

This cover was from the Sgt. Pepper's movie. The soundtrack is worth a listen for a couple of the covers including Aerosmith's version of Come Together. Altogether awful movie, though.

The did thier thing ln this tune that bass horn guitars band wow

Sorry John, Ringo, Paul, George…but this IS better than the original. You have to admit it. And that’s RARE.

Yes they did that song in the movie Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band probably the greatest movie ever Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees and there was a fight scene the Bee Gees beat up Aerosmith worst thing I ever saw

Great songs bad movie.

The best song from the shittiest movie ever made! 💯😎

Have you done any Bee Gees?

EW&F took this Beatles song to another level. it is BETTER than the original. because EW&F were WAY BETTER Musicians.

Have you ever heard Michael Jackson do come together

Better musicians and better arrangement .

The bassline is just so TOUGH on the EWF version.

I don't want to hear Iron Maiden ruin a Jethro Tull song.

Let's be clear ..EWF are master musicians.... The Beatles were amateurs in comparison 😂😂😂. EWF were light years ahead of their time. Btw that wasn't a cover.

Paul McCartney wrote that about marijuana

I've not heard this cover before now. It's fair - perhaps they should have made it longer - and it brings to mind Chicago. The band Chicago. In my view there are better covers of Beatle numbers. "Every little thing" being one of them and performed by YES on the 1969 Yes album. Worth checking out. On the subject of covers, while i think of it, i think an unlikely cover is " I heard it through the Grapevine" Creedence Clearwater revival did it brilliantly. It has to be the long version. Returning to the Beatles there is “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” by The Marmalade and "Yesterday" is one of the most covered songs of all. Was it Shirley Bassey who covered "Something"? There are also covers of my favourite single of all time - "Strawberry Fields" one of which by a trio I just can't stand - The Bee Gees. Steve Howe of YES was in a band called Tomorrow and they did a cover of that too. So many artists have covered Beatle numbers I could fill the night with them I I were to Let It Be. So i think I'll quit there. Here is something for Ethan - being in to keyboards. The Late great Keith Emerson was in a band called The Nice- check out the Bob Dylan live cover of "She Belongs to me." Perhaps one of the best covers of all time.

Beatles are a great band, but some of their songs that people see as great isn't
