Only Paul and Ringo. I doubt that John or George would mind much. 🙂

I knew this one would be tough.
I had never heard the Isley version, only the Beatles, but I went into this, slightly leaning towards the original, just because they are the original. The Isley version was good. I could tell immediately that the Beatles did not rave up their version. This is true. The Beatles do a straight copy version. This live version, though, tips the scale in their favour. I love the screaming teenage girls! That is so classic. I really liked seeing John sing. I had always thought it was Paul singing that song. John uses his neck muscles to sing and uses a strong voice. I like it. George had some funny head and shoulder movements going on. He has slightly redeemed himself from that fiasco a few weeks ago.
Sorry, Isley Bros, you guys did a good song, but this weeks win goes to the Lads from Liverpool.

Beatles! This one reminds me of my childhood 80’s birthday parties at the roller skating rink a little too much 🙂

Definitely The Beatles. I knew there was an original, but I just hadn’t heard it before.
