Two things. First, I'm pretty sure Ken meant Richie HAVENS, not Ritchie VALENS, since the latter passed away on "the day the music died" in 1959, and "Here Comes The Sun" wasn't written until 10 years later. Second, Allan is correct, per Universal Music Group's notes on Barry McGuire's "Yesterday" on KZfaq, which states that The Mamas and the Papas were the backing vocal group.

When I was a kid I read somewhere that Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" was better than the Beatles' version. When I then heard it, I was shocked because I thought that it had nothing to do with the pop charms of the original and he could used any tune as a the basis for his song. I think I generally do not like cover versions that use Beatles melodies as a pretext for something completely different. The result may still be great, but not as a different take of a Beatles song. At the moment, I just have two cover versions that I really, really love, namely "Across the Universe" by Fiona Apple and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Regina Spektor.

Top cover for me is Maynard Ferguson’s Hey Jude….if you’re a fan of screaming trumpets this song is awesome!

I agree with Ken's choice of 'Here comes the Sun' by Richie Valens. It is available on his 'Beyond the Grave vol 1' album. It has a 'real spooky feel'.

The Residents version of Flying is fantastic. The Residents, who I would call the “avant-garde Beatles of the underground” have many Beatles references in their history, from their satirical Meet the Beatles cover of their first album Meet the Residents, to their version of Hey Jude on their psychotic lol experimental album of 60s pop covers, The Third Reich and Roll, to their single “The Beatles play The Residents, The Residents play The Beatles”/Flying. A fascinating band, who people actually thought may be The Beatles when they started putting out music around ‘72, being anonymous as they are. Definitely a band you guys should be aware of, especially if you have ears for adventurous music.

Did I miss it, or did no one mention "Help!" as interpreted by Tina Turner, and any cover version of a George Harrison Beatles song?

None of us chose Tina Turner, but the very first thing we discuss - on both Darren’s list and mine - is Steve Village’s cover of George’s All Too Much.

I think songs like "Hold Me Tight" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" worked very well as sung by women.
