Beatles cover of a Marvelettes tune.
This was also a big hit for The Carpenters so let's remember Karen Carpenter whose 68th birthday would have been today (died Feb 1983).

While listening to Frankie Connor, last weekend he played an old Beatles song that I’d completely forgotten about hope you all like it.

Love that oldie Joe!
To mark Jimmy Nail's 64th birthday today, here's his beautifully haunting cover of John Lennon's wonderful "Love".
Was kinda hoping Jimmy had covered '"When I'm 64" but it wasn't to be

Great tracks folks.
In light of the current Russian debacle, this seems very appropriate.

Never really liked that cover Bern.

That song epitomises a time in many of our lives. It takes me right back to the classroom, starting to grow up but still without any responsibility other than to be happy... or so I thought Ta Bern

A bit of Maroon 5's Adam Levine for the ladies (should they be that way inclined).
The original 'Ticket to Ride' was "toppermost of the poppermost" on this date in 1965

Not being a big Beatles fan and never having owned one of their albums, I have never heard of some of the songs on this thread. I have just watched the Paul Carrack video of Misery and thought it was excellent.
Anyway I will add a bit of humour with the genius that was Peter Sellars.

Little known fact (or should that be theory) - the Eggman mentioned in this song is apparently a reference to Eric Burdon of The Animals who, by coincidence, celebrates his 77th birthday today.

This Billy Bragg cover was a double A side for the Childline charity (with Wet Wet Wet's 'Little Help From My Friends') and was number one on this date 30 years ago today in 1988.
