  • I DON'T GET IT! Is it You or You've!? It's listed as You but they're saying You've.

  • @pikmin1318 doesn't really sound like you don't get it.

  • not bad, but it doesn't hit me in my heart like Smokey's voice does. this is more "doo-woppy" and i prefer the motown sound of the original, personally.

  • smokey & the miracles will always have the best version

  • One of the greatest songs ever written.

  • so so so poo compared to smokey sorry dislike

    

  • Apple or Parlophone?

  • the British invasion was all about putting a white face on black music and selling back to America, where black artists were still not breaking through to main stream love the Beatles love love Motown

  • This really sounds like shit compared to Small Faces version, check it out

  • @PrimalStones You wouldn t know a good rendition if it bit you in the ass....

  • @xBeatlesfanaticx1 Arse*. Beatles do amazing covers but this isn't one of them, Not a lot of soul

  • @PrimalStones  fuckyou asshole

  • They're so cool.

    

  • come on people the Beatles were something else you can not deny that even if you don't like them :)

  • It was perfect!!!

    hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

  • I'd kill to hold them, or just even talk to them

  • Slowly and beautiful melody, I like it. 

  • 15 people don't have hands or feelings!

  • This song really got a hold on me.

  • Fabulous!

    

  • fuck you

  • 14 people are entitled to their opinion.

  • @FarmerHeard and those 14 suck the big one./

  • Lennon's voice really is incredible here.

  • MERAVIGLIOSA

  • Calling The Beatles pop is a disservice to them. They could do anything. Lennon had the best rock voice of all time -- it could be so acid and edgy and hard when he wanted it to be. They were basically ridiculously perfect and I'm not sure they were human. The balance, the yin and yang, was all too perfect.

  • @superman11978 Not only John's voice, Paul also can sing very softly, but also, try listening to 'Helter Skelter' of "Why Don't We Do it in The Road"

    They're both amazing with their rock voice

  • @superman11978 Couldn't agree more with you :).

    One of the bets covers they did, BTW. I'd say along with Long Tall Sally.

  • Really gotta hold on me Baby i love u!

  • 14 people never got a hold on them..

  • Don't you hate it when theirs some witty remark about how shitty the people who disliked this video is and you look at the dislike bar and there's even more people who disliked the video than before! 14 dislikes for me

  • Hold me

  • when i listen to this i imagine a couple dancing slow, listening to their heart beats and kiss in the middle of the song

  • In my opinion, this is the best song The Beatles have covered!

  • Que buen tema ♥

  • Hermosa!

  • The Beatles have their own uniqueness regardless of the song. I'd be the first one to buy a home coming ticket :-)

  • Thumbs up if you really want to hold The Beatles.

  • @calwaite Rubbish.

  • Que bueno escuchar esta musica desde mi nacimiento y hasta el final.

  • Both versions were good Smoky admired the Beatles for stating openly they admired R+B artists.

  • que música linda. ^-^

  • lovely

  • Smokey is better

  • The Beatles really got a hold on me.

  • yuoiii

  • Thank you my friend for upload this beaautiful song

  • i was a screaming teenager here!  yeah

  • Eleven people do not have hands

  • @zechariahisalive HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD

  • @rene10674 LOOK AND LISTEN - IN YOUTUBE

    OGHI -------- GATA 

  • @zechariahisalive Then how did they dislike the video?

  • @GarretSlarrity with their heads, but was inadvertently that they dislike that, how did you think that there're 12 dislikes?

  • @gabrielfranss I probably have an answer to your question, but I do not know what "inadvertently" means....... I gotta work on vocabulary........

  • @GarretSlarrity it means "by accident", yeah, i think that i need to do it, because i'm brazilian and my vocabulary is better than yours?

  • @gabrielfranss Then yes, they did inadvertently dislike the video. I also honor your understanding of the English language.

  • I like the original better

  • Love it!

  • Wow John has never sounded better...

  • Woww I forgot how much I loved this song <3

  • I could sing this whole song back to them.

  • @Rayvyn007 It's not a bad cover, considering they didn't change anything musically. I agree the original Smokey Robinson version is the best, but The Beatles' version is also great.

  • @pearlvana05 I recall an interview where Smokey said the Beatles did it better. I like both versions personally.

  • @Spaced92 Yeah, I like both also. Just sit back and enjoy.

  • @Spaced92

    Rubbish. No way could Smokey have ever have said this as it is blatantly untrue and I actually challenge you to come up with the interview itself. This is simply an unfortunate example of a common practice in the 1960's where white bands would record their versions of songs by black artists and in many cases go on to have hits as white radio stations were more inclined to play songs by white artists than blacks which is why the awful Cilla Black and Lulu came to to prominence.

  • @Paulie2906 I love Smokey Robinson, but the instrumentation, vocals, and performance, especially by Lennon, were superior to the original. It's not a matter of race, it's about understanding what a song is about, and performing it justly, it just so happened that they did a better rendition, to my ears, of the song than the Miracles did.

  • @Paulie2906

    That's not the case at all. The Impressions release was a major hit, the Beatles never released this as a single. It was recorded out of pure respect for Smokey Robinson. The Beatles gave Smokey 'big ups' repeatedy and it helped his career tremendously early on. Later, Harrison wrote two - two! - songs in honor of Smokey Robinson in consecutive albums in the mid-70s, 'Pure Smokey' and 'Ooh Baby You Know I Love You.'

  • @Spaced92 nothing beats the original .

  • @mrsteezyider WTF

  • @TheBeatles78dinos OMG i have da same book!!!!! I culdnt stop readin ut 4 like a while month lmao :S

  • Paul shot Lennon.

  • Ekdhay Vuhuyoh Adasaytah Ohsaked Ahahdma Ushayne Tuvuoh Shneshad Ohlasalima.

    Hasaaan Chop!

  • how did i not know the beatles covered this?!!!!!

  • @sakewon I had no idea until I got this book yesterday, a "special Rolling Stones edition: The Beatles an album-by-album guide". :D

  • Comment removed

  • how can ANYONE dream they can cover smokey,thats just crazyness i didn't know thay did acid this far back; just kidding this IS great

    but johnny rivers doing tracks of my tears WHY?

  • 1:14 johns voice is PERFECTION.

  • Michael Jackson Version is really better  => youtube.com/watch?v=5Q3qdYd3zI­w

  • i like the she & him version :)

  • Both versions of the song kick ass. Just saying.

  • this is way better than smokey robinson. just saying.

  • No offense, but Smokey Robinson & The Miracles version was better. Just saying.

  • Hold me!!! Please... Hold me!!! Squeeze...

  • girl, with you smile, with your way, with your care, you really got hold on me¡¡

  • theres to many to choose which one is my fav i love them all.

    great cover of a smokey robinson song with johns voice! :) goosebumps anyone?

  • 7 people can suck my balls

  • My favorite Beatles songs (original) - I will, PS I love you. Favorite cover = boys

  • I think the Beatles put more soul into the song than Smokey did, Smokey just sang it, no emotion put into it. JMHO

  • These are my favorites. (Most of my favorites are George completely solo so I'll just drop those for now.)

    1. Old Brown Shoe

    2. Long Long Long

    3. Got to Get you Into my Life

    4. Hold Me Tight

    5. Run For Your Life

  • Who wrote this song? Or is it a folk tune?

  • @cloclocupcake7 smokey robinson and the miracles

  • small faces were better

  • @viktorsage Steve Marriott was a really great singer and sure the small faces cover of this smokey classic was more adventurous but nobody tops the Beatles.

  • If he likes this as his wedding song, that's fine. No worse than Joe Jonas having, "The Way You Make Me Feel" as his wedding song.

  • HELP.

  • I loves this <3

  • I like the smokey robinson version better. nonetheless they are both great

  • I always feel like he says ¨ I want a spliff Now ¨ instead of split .. hahaha ((spliff=joint))

  • @zoestone17 A wee bit judgemental aren't we? We just celebrated 8 years on thursday. We danced to the song because of the sentimental meaning it held for us and the story with it....and less about the lyrics. But thanks for your 'concern.'

  • "Hold Me Tight" is my fave.

  • This song was my wedding song :) love it!

  • @lexjude this is a song about a tragically unhealthy relationship,why on earth would you dance to it at your wedding?

  • x_x dead. This... is... INCREDIBLE!!!!! Beatles, ftw.

  • If I really had to choise my fav Beatles song, I'd had to say; "Happiness is a warm gun"!! Amazing song, but all Beatles songs are amazing, damn I love and miss those guys!<3

  • @musicbabyable That's my favorite too! I really love Sexy Sadie too, though.

  • Favourite Beatles song? There's a place.

  • This version is way better, however Smokey Robinson's version has more soul. It's more 50s kinda. I <3 John's voice :) Every remake that the Beatles recorded is always better, in my opinion. :P

  • And John Lennon said he didn't have a good voice? I beg to differ! This is incredible!!!

  • Breaks my heart that the Beatles have been defiled

  • Sounds good. But the original has more soul.

  • This song dont have a hold on 2 idiotic justin bieber fans. Anyway i love the beatles!

  • My taste in music differs from day to day, but right now it'll be like this:

    1 Rock and Roll Music

    2 I Will

    3 Here There Everywhere

    4 Back in the USSR

    5 Eight days a Week

  • A couple of days ago I picked Hey Jude. Today I will pick Strawberry Fields Forever.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmore Beatles oh yes

  • 1:16 this part makes my knees tremble. Oh, John ... 

  • Ohhh I hate it when I'm asked to choose my favourite Beatles song. This is my favourite cover along with Twist and Shout but my favourite song changes weekly. Well....this week my favourite Beatles songs are probably You've Got To Hide Your Love Away and I love I've Just Seen A Face.

  • my favorite song would be Hey Jude, but i love them all.

  • my favorite beatles' song is let it be

  • My favorite cover they did is "Baby it's you". This one's great too!

  • Johns voice always sends shivers down my spine, i just absolutely love him...

  • Sooo many great covers who's to say what is the best. For me its Words of Love. A great homage to Buddy.

  • Tell me viewers, what's your favorite song by The Beatles?

  • Probably Rocky Raccoon. But I have so many favourites it's difficult to decide on just one favourite.

  • Whatever one I'm listening to now.

  • One of my favorites is ''Its Only love'', and There's a place"

  • got to be Norwegian wood.

  • simply awesome ..... John's voice is wowsers.

  • I appreciate all the compliments of this song, and to the greatest group to ever walk on this earth, THE BEATLES.

  • Loved this when I was 10, still love it ;)

  • How did I not know about this before?

  • I don't like the Beatles.

    But I love The Beatles,

    C:

  • This is one of the favorites from the beatles covers

    smokey robinsons and the miracles

  • How can someone dislike this? If you know you wont like in, don't click on it. Simples.

  • @shescalledsarah im sure they accidently clicked on dislike... everybody likes this lol

  • @shescalledsarah its cuz he didnt like it but he loved it and unfortunately theres no love button. :/

  • I am addicted on this song... You really got a hold one me!

  • justin biber past here -.-'

  • this song is just as good as smokeys version

  • This is the best damn vertion ever :)

  • The Beatles really got a hold on me.

  • dedicated 2 mi missin love Marvin Linares, we had some crazi times in Arkansas, but ya movd bak 2 New Jersey.

  • To my spouse and our big SPCA doggie thanks they are alive to share my life.Even if we drive one another crazy with our antics with love.

  • Awesome. If it weren't for the Beatles and this song I never would have known Smokey. Or at least it would have been longer until I had.

  • how come white pips cant make they own songs, always gotta copy black music?

  • @sym8387 because they are showing their respect for the musicians, and the kind of music that the beatles liked was black and motown, and anyway this IS the beatles, so they could write songs on their own.

  • who's the ONE guy who thumbs it down? 1000 thumbs down to him

  • my brotha smokey comes first.

    he made that song amazing, and i fell in love with that song.

    but this one is alright.

    it is like no one can really cover Let It Be.

    

  • @love1peace3 That's right, Let it Be is owned by the Fab Four & no one can do it better. Like I said some songs just can't be improved on.

  • Are you guys serious about say'n that this version is better than Smokey Robinsons? WTF are you Beatles fans are smoke'n , snort'n, shoot'n, or something....John Lennon ashes or what? I say this cover is acceptable, but there is no way in hell that this version can even touch what Smokey laid down. Let's be real now....don't get upset. Some songs you just can't improve or make better, & this is one of them. The Beatles couldn't & no one else can either! Just the way it is.

  • @macreal65 i love the beatles. honestly, im just excited they did a cover. :) i LOVE smokey robinson. absolutely fantastic! i love listening to him...but "John Lennon ashes"? :/ really? >.> kinda rude. just saying.

  • @darkschoolgurl Awwwww sorry. I shouldn't poke fun of the man that almost could walk on water. Well if Jesus is fair game to John....John is fair game to me. Relax, it's not if you meet him. & no I'm not Jesus freak.

  • @macreal65

    As much as I have loved the Beatles for over 45 years, this song does not come close to Smokey's original.

  • @macreal65 wow, calm down there buddy

  • @7ball666 Yhea ya right, I lost my meds. & I just can't get right.

  • @macreal65 it happens

  • @7ball666 Found Them!

  • @macreal65 I totally agree... I LOVE the Beatles with a passion... but I can admit that smokey holds it down better.
