These two in particular are my favorites along with When Sunny Gets Blue and On and On which I sing/hum quite often. But I truly adore Blackbird. It was the first version I heard so to me it's the best and the one I connect to most.

biggrin I read that Paul McCartney actually liked Rankin's version better than his...or atleast, he said he wished that the Beatles had done theirs like this.....
