Reuben Wilson - Inner City Blues (Marvin Gaye)
The Heptones - My World Is Empty (The Supremes)
Ella Fitzgerald - Sunshine of Your Love (Cream)
Lonnie Smith - Think (Aretha Franklin)

Bobby Byrd - Signed Sealed Delivered (Stevie Wonder)
A Darker Shade of Black - Ball of Confusion (Undisputed Truth)
The Meters - Sing a Simple Song (Sly and the Family Stone)
The Neapolitans - Crosstown Traffic (Jimi Hendrix)
Kenny and the Beach Boys - Big Payback (James Brown)
Al Green - I Want To Hold Your Hand (The Beatles)
Aretha Franklin - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)
Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out (The Beatles)

That's a very good question, eth. I'm not a Mac person, but some of the other Radio Mecha folks are. I hope somebody will know the answer.

Was Al Green's version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" considered some kind of payback for the Beatles doing "Twist and Shout"? I'm a fan of the Right Rev. Green but that just sounded ... not right. (Compared to Little Stevie doing "We Can Work It Out", which works.)

Hey, the Isley Brothers can fight their own battles. Ronnie's Mr. Biggs. Hell, he's doing time. I kinda dig that Al Green version. Shows the versatility of even early Beatles songwriting, and just seems so grown-up.
