Beatles Covers

50s, 60s, 70s, Nostalgia, Songs

I would guess no band in history has spawned as many covers as the Beatles. Some covers are mediocre but there are others which transcend the original.  Australia has produced some memorable Beatle covers such as John Farnham’s impressive version of Help. The Zoot’s heavy rock version of Eleanor Rigby was praised by John Lennon. Johnny Young also impressed with his sumptuous cover of All My Loving. Lesser known but still good covers are David and Jonathan with Michelle and the Truth’s Girl. And who can forget Shirley Bassey’s heart rending version of the George Harrison classic Something.
