    Aren't Lennon/McCartney covers all over the place in soul/r'n'b?
    Esther Phillips' and Bobby Womack's respective cover versions of "And I Love Him/Her" have been getting play here lately.

    Did anyone ever do a funky version of "I Am the Walrus"? Seems like an obvious thing to do.

    I remember I wanted to post in a Beatles Covers Thread from a few months back but I couldn't find the LP I was looking for or remember the name to google it. Well, Ive been spending more time with my vinyl lately and I just found it again.....





    Not face melt or anything but I like a few of the tracks.


    Julie Driscoll"s 'Light My fire' is usually in this list as well.
