James Brown covers The Beatles - Something (1973)

This is a rare B-side of 45 rpm "Think" that James Brown recorded in 1973 on Polydor Records. It does not exist on CD or on any known compilation up to date. That you like the cover or not, let's just say that James Brown really made this Beatles song his own! George Harrison once stated that this cover was the best one he liked over all the other ones did of "Something". Enjoy people! Get on up and shake that thang!! :))

So...where exactly did you find this?

@Manu9078 I found this on the web. Someone had surely the vinyl pressing in 45 rpm and transfered it in mp3. That's how I found this my friend! :)

[mapo69]

Nope! It's rather "Yesterday" that has been covered by the most artists! If I'm not wrong, I think "Something" comes second!

Whats up with people dissing the godfather of soul?!? So i guess every cover of a song has to sound like an exact copy of the original??...Give me a break people this cover is genius.

@mapo69 You are correct, #1: Yesterday, #2: Something.

..de las decenas de versiones que hay de esta cancion (Charles,Presley, Sinatra,Cocker, etc, etc, ) esta es la mas genial ...el comienzo es espectaculamente blusero y ese cambio en 1.31 es pesadisimo!!..Cancion que la hizo suya...

..tens of versions of this song (Charles, Presley, Sinatra, Cocker, etc, etc,) this is the most brilliant.. .the beginning is amazing blues and this change in 1.31 is heavy!...Song that endorsed...

"Something" must have really hit 1969 very, very hard.
