Top Beatles remake? On radio, it's 'Lucy'

Al Sussman, writing in the Atlanta-based magazine Beatlefan, compiled the list from Billboard charts, which are based in large part on radio play. It's a list that has some surprises:

1. "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" - Elton John (1975)

2. Stars on 45 Beatles medley (1981)

3. "Fool on the Hill" - Sergio Mendes (1966)

4. "I Saw Him Standing There" - Tiffany (1988)

5. "You Won't See Me" - Anne Murray (1974)

6. "Got To Get You Into My Life" - Earth Wind & Fire (1978)

7. "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" - The Silkie (1965)

8. "We Can Work It Out" - Stevie Wonder (1971)

9. "Oh Darling" - Robin Gibb (1978)

10. "Here Comes the Sun" - Richie Havens (1971)

Sussman's list for the British charts had the 1988 charity single "With a Little Help From My Friends" by Wet Wet Wet, backed with Billy Bragg's "She's Leaving Home," at No. 1.

Shatner's 'Transformed Man' Reborn
Wed Nov 3

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Actor William Shatner's infamous 1968 album "The Transformed Man" will be reissued Dec. 7 by Geffen Records.

The set, which features the venerable Capt. James T. Kirk reading poetry over ultra-serious musical accompaniment and covering such contemporary classics as Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" and the Beatles' "LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS," has been remastered from the original tapes.

Shatner recently returned to the studio to record the Shout Factory album "Has Been," which was produced by Ben Folds.

Rhino has previously fanned the flames of cult adoration for "The Transformed Man" by featuring tracks from it on three of its "Golden Throats" compilations. The original album never charted on The Billboard 200 and although it was available for many years via Varese Saraband, it has sold just 8,000 copies in the United States since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. The set has been out of print since early 2001.

Shatner reprised his deadpan delivery on a series of 2000 commercials for Priceline.com, which found him reciting the lyrics to such songs as C.W. McCall's "Convoy" and the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place."

Благодарим всех за помощь в поиске и добывании
новых и старых каверов.

Когда-то у меня был британский сингл начала 60-х: на одной стороне группа The Typhoons исполняла Hello Little Girl, что было на другой стороне, хоть убей, не помню. Пластинка давно пропала (сгорела в пожаре), фирму не помню, информации никакой найти об этой группе не могу, хотя по-прежнему считаю это исполнение лучшим. Странно, да?
Может, кто что знает?

Нашел у себя на диске в "свалке" такую информацию:
--------------
The Typhoons
45:
1 Needles And Pins/Stay (Top 2 T 100) 196?
A sixties Dunedin pop group who covered two songs The Searchers and Hollies respectively had enjoyed massive U.K. hits with on this 45.
--------------
Группа из Новой Зеландии!!!!

Тупым поиском было найдено, что они еще много чего перепели.
На этих страницах в списках есть и их песни:

PS
Понятное дело, я о них даже не слышал :-)

Огромное спасибо! Пойду по ссылкам...

Лучше на пожарище! :))))

А я был на том пепелище. Много чего ценного погорело в том пожаре. Одних сорокапяток с полсотни.

Давно мне было интересно почему и как Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble записали битловский Taxman и почему не выпустили его при жизни Стиви Рэя. Вот отрывок из аннотации к диску Greatest Hits (1995) немного отвечающий на эти вопросы:
The one previously unreleased track of this collection is of all things. George Harrison's original from The Beatles’ Revolver LP. “Taxman”, which was never actually slated to be part Double Trouble album but was recorded for a separate project that was never realized. The session, just outside of Austin, marked the first time Stevie had entered a studio since getting clean and sober, and he delivered one of his most animated vocal performances.
Chris: Michael Jackson owned the publishing on The Beatles catalog, and he was going to do some kind of animated feature, so someone at Epic suggested we do a Beatles song.
Reese: I think ten different Beatles songs were picked, and ten different artists to do them, and that's the one we drew. I don't think we picked that: I think someone asked if we wanted to do it. We finally ended up completely turning the attitude of the song around and having a pretty good time with it. We were happy that it was something we could not only do justice to, but do it in our own way. I think we were all creatively satisfied with what we did on it.
Chris: His singing and playing came from kind of a spirited emulation of his musical heroes. So this was kind of Howlin’ Wolf Sings The Beatles - as starting point - as opposed to just coming up with abstract characters.

У меня наконец-то заработало кабельное соединение, теперь могу качать сколько душе угодно, прошу ВАС, дайте интересные ссылки по каверам.
