First one nowhere near as good as Arthur Alexander,
Second one not a patch on Arthur or on Van Morrison's cover,
Third one not fit to wipe the shoes of the Isley Brothers' version. Slightly better than the Top Notes original, but only because the Beatles did a direct copy of the Isleys' interpretation.
Last one you really must be joking. The opening line of The Marvelettes' version has more soul than the whole of the Beatles career. The Beatles version is behind The Carpenters' fairly insipid version by dint of Karen's voice being far superior.
The Beatles didn't get close to Barrett Strong's version of 'Money', and he and Norman Whitfield were better songwriters than them too. As was Chuck Berry who they never matched in performance, no matter how many of his songs they did, as was Buddy Holly who they really wanted to be, but proved that they couldn't be through poor versions of Words of Love and Crying, Waiting & Hoping.

And to be even more cranky this thread is not as good as the original:

A somewhat unexpected tour de force. Takes some beating IMO.

Remix. But WHAT a remix
Last one. Then I think that's all my posts from the same thread last year recreated.
