Try the real thing by the Isley Brothers. Yup, John could rock and I love his music, but that was a (good) cover of a great song. The Isley Bros are the guys who brought you "Shout", the great college anthem of "Animal House" (and permanent cover band fixture).

Sorry. Never check these threads!
Good point, but I would hazard a guess that you come from the US. In the UK the Beatles version is the track that is played almost invariably. I think both versions have their strong points.

Yes, I'm in the US, and the Beatles version is the one played here, also. It's good, but the Isley Bros. have a certain ... ummm, cool? OTOH, having the Beatles (the Beatles!) cover one of your songs is probably a pretty good thing. Texas singer/songwriter Steve Fromholtz wrote a song titled "I'd Have to be Crazy" which was recorded by Willie Nelson, earning Fromholtz a gold record for the writing. His response to having his song covered was "Go, Willie!"
