There aren't a lot of covers of Beatles songs that can stand the test of time. A handful of attempts from the soundtrack to the truly horrible movie adaptation of Sgt. Peppers notwithstanding, a YouTube search of "Long and Winding Road" reveals some cringeworthy attempts from Cher, Olivia Newton-John, Donny Osmond and others.
But that same search will reward you with two sensational gems. We don't often do Beatles on Music Friday...but, when we do, it's with the Father and Queen of Soul, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin.
Enjoy.
