You’ve Really Got a Hold on MeThe Beatles
A track from With the Beatles.
The Beatles were fans of Motown Records, and this is also a cover of a song by The Miracles.
Perhaps because John’s vocal timbre resembles Smokey Robinson’s, it sounds almost like an original.
With a Little Help from My FriendsThe Beatles
A song written by Paul that appears as the second track at the beginning of Sgt.
Pepper’s.
It’s performed in the style of a guest singer appearing at a concert and doing just one number.
The lyrics, which seem to poke fun at Ringo’s poor singing, strike me as amusing.
