Eleanor Rigby - Don "Sugarcane" Harris (more jazz/rock fusion, but ... )
Good Day Sunshine - Roy Redman (from UK OST "The Touchables")
And, of course: Gene Chandler, Jackie Wilson & Erma Franklin all cut versions of "Eleanor Rigby" over the same backing track[/b] for Brunswick Records in 1968!
Good Day Sunshine - Roy Redman how is this version??
Bar-Kays is on "Gotta Groove," their best LP, IMO - it also has a version of "Yesterday."
Roy Redman is pretty good, mellow, with a shuffling beat I would normally associate with New Orleans, although I think he is from the UK, as it is on the soundtrack to a British film, "The Touchables" and every other artist on there - Nirvana, Ferris Wheel, Wynder K. Frog - are from the UK.
I realize getting into jazz folks is opening a huge can of covers, but I have to say that R Lewis's Julia makes my heart flutter every time (Thank You SoulonIce).

Oh geezz....... Sleepy am I.
Ive had my coffee now...
Kim Weston cover of Eleanor Rigby on People Records.
Still don't know where this record is though, somewhere in the back cause I haven't heard it or seen it in a awhile.
I also like Gabor Szabo's Dear Prudence.
on that note,
ray charles - eleanor rigby
It's dyno-mite.
Four Tops 'Now' lp from 1969 has a real nice cut of
Elanor Rigby.
That intro is
this album rules, half of it is Beatles covers..

Good Day Sunshine - Roy Redman
how is this version??
taken from crescent city groove merchants
on the reggae tip but good still,
"wishbone" by jacckie mittoo (basically carry that weight)
Bar-Kays is on "Gotta Groove," their best LP, IMO -
it also has a version of "Yesterday."
Roy Redman is pretty good, mellow, with a shuffling
beat I would normally associate with New Orleans, although
I think he is from the UK, as it is on the soundtrack to
a British film, "The Touchables" and every other artist on
there - Nirvana, Ferris Wheel, Wynder K. Frog - are from the UK.
Nina Simone-"Isnt it a Pity." kills me everytime

Really good, although I was hoping he'd have kept it at the original tempo rather than slowing it down.
Had he done it midtempo like the Beatles did, coming from a soul singer it probably would have been a Carolina beach music classic.
