The Beatles covered Mr Postman by the Marvelettes, which the Carpenters also had a big hit with.

[bednobs]

sorry zacs, but i can't really count them as successful because i've only heard of 2 of the artists and 2 of the songs!

[Zacs-Master]

Ah right. I didn't appreciate the narrow parameters of your knowledge.

[tonyav]

The Beatles also covered Twist and Shout by the Isley Brothers.

[-Talbot-]

The smoking mo jo filters 'come together' got to 19 in the charrts.

[Mamyalynne]

Crikey,only heard of 2 of those songs - I thought I was their worst fan.

Siouxie (spelling) and the Banshees version of Dear Prudence was excellent, IMO anyway.
