2017.49 Michelle — The Beatles, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Del Shannon, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Glee, Earth Wind & Fire, Underground Sunshine and more.
When handled properly, covers of Beatles album cuts frequently climbed the charts in the US or UK. This started with Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas version of "Do You Want to Know a Secret", based on John Lennon's demo, climbed the British charts alongside the Beatles single "From Me To You." Del Shannon's cover of "FMTY" then became the first time a Lennon-McCartney song would hit the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, months before the Beatles own version became a hit record. Such covers have continued to this day when a musical television phenomena such as Glee can "move units" on the download charts.
