*I love Stevie Wonder's and Chaka's version of We Can Work It Out.
*I also think Martha & the Vandellas' take on Something is exquisite! *Our Lady Peace did a nice version of Tomorrow Never Knows on the soundtrack to The Craft Bad remakes: *The Four Tops doing Michelle *Bananarama's remake of Help Waiting for the MJ fanatics to proclaim his remake of Come Together as better than the original... | |

Booker T & The MG's McLemore Ave. album is a good one. Practically a song by song reinterpretation of Abbey Road as Memphis soul instrumentals.
I enjoyed the cheeky album cover too, the MG's crossing the road outside Stax Studios mimicking the Beatles cover outside Abbey Rd Studios. | |
