@beyondthevoyage wow are you serious, it was written by Paul a year and a half before nilssons cover you fool
-
@rwos14 to be an decent person, ur completely right. did my research and ur right, paul did write the song, but i still believe the nilsson version can't be topped...
-
@beyondthevoyage let's do the math. Nilsson's version-released in 1969. Beatles version- released in 1968. That wouldn't stop it being a cover by the Beatles, as with I Wanna Be Your Man earlier, except for the key fact that it was definitely written by Paul McCartney in Rishikesh.

Uhg... Paul and John didn't write this song... it was Harry Nilsson, and his version can't be topped!
-
@wallyj471 Macca wrote it in India. John wrote ' Child of Nature', which became 'Jealous Guy'

@mad27 There's a fine line between making a tasteful cover that is different and making a distasteful cover that is different. I found this very tasteful. Jack White's version on the other hand is just god-awful

This is such a John Denver type song - amazing to think it was written by two other music icons - Lennon & McCartney.
That's the point of a cover, to make it different. What's the point of producing a carbon copy of the original?

Well, I think John was an amazing singer. If you ask me, he was able to hit those high notes so beautifully because he had the GOD GIVEN GIFT TO SING! Sheesh.
