Line 9:
** There have been ''lots'' of covers of Beatles songs. Among the artists that have done a successful cover include [[Jimi Hendrix]] with "Day Tripper," [[Elton John]] with "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," Joe Cocker with "With A Little Help From My Friends" and [[Yes]] with "Every Little Thing". Roger Greenawalt with various singers has covered [http://beatlescompleteonukulele.com/ about half the songs] on [[Rule of Cool|ukulele]].
** [[The Beatles]] themselves have recorded their share of covers. For example, they covered a number of [[Chuck Berry]] songs early in their career, such as "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Too Much Monkey Business".
*** With the exception of [[A Hard Day's Night]] and [[Help!]] (which contained two cover songs), thier first five albums were almost half covers (6 out of 14 songs). They stopped this around 1965, but threw in a short cover of "Maggie Mae" on [[Let It Be]].
* Living For The City by [[Stevie Wonder]] was covered by quite a lot of artists.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddsgUFT4hm0 This may be one of the best attempts:]
* "Take It Easy" was originally by [[Jackson Browne]], but The [[Eagles]] made it famous.
