I see both sides of the argument and I love both versions but if Lennon hadn,t written it we wouldn,t be having this debate. Enough said , Just enjoy!
Lennon wrote the song and its his, no argument there... Ferry is the better singer, which is not disputable. His band(Roxy music) matched an unbelievable instrumental track to the song. Stand alone, Ferry's version is the better song... masterful if you ask me. Lennon fans will always be in his corner... I'm a fan of music.
The Beatles have nothing to do with this song or the discussion. If you wish to favour Lennon because of his inclusion in that group.... fine. I know you're not alone. Lennon is hugely overrated as an individual artist, with his inclusion in the Beatles and death the main drivers.
'Most people' are media driven half wits who don't know anything about music. Lennon was an attention whore, the epitome of hypocrisy. Grossly overrated as a solo artist. His contributions to music were indeed great, but as a performer he's simply not in Ferry's league.
Seems like you're the only one who's uploaded the original album version..at least that's what I assume it is as your 6-minute version is longer than any other version on here ?
I don't like covers. But how come I like this version more than the original ????

It's a nice rendition. I like hearing other artists perform John Lennon because it puts a refreshing new spin on it.

Unfortunately, Ferry needs lots of effects on his voice to sound good. Lennon is much more organic and powerful; And the only added effect is reverb.
