Beatle remakes in Top 40

[brownjb81]

I was listening to the American Top 40 show from September 16, 1978 in my car over the weekend, (one of the many shows in my collection) and noticed that 3 Beatle remakes were in the Top 40 that week since the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie was out at the time. Here were the 3 Beatle remakes that were in the Top 40 that week:

Come Together--Aerosmith
Oh! Darling--Robin Gibb
Got To Get You Into My Life--Earth, Wind & Fire

There have been many remakes of Beatle songs that have hit the Top 40 over the year. Let me see how many that I can name. Beside the 3 songs that I have just mentioned there were:

I Saw Her Standing There (retitled, I Saw Him Standing There) Tiffany.
Yesterday--Ray Charles
We Can Work It Out--Stevie Wonder
Eleanor Rigby--Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. They actually had separate hits of that remake.
Magical Mystery Tour--Ambrosia
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds--Elton John (The only Beatle remake to hit No. 1)
Here Comes The Sun--Richie Havens
Fool On the Hill--Sergio Mendes
Michelle--David & Johnathan
You Won't See Me--Anne Murray

If anybody knows anymore Beatles remakes that made the Top 40, let me know.

If it counts, the Stars on 45 medley which hit #1 in 1981 was mostly Beatles songs.

Salt and Pepa Twist and shout (thou The Beatles did a cover first, because the song belongs to Phil Medley and Bert Russell and covered first by others).

Tina Turner Help ( but I think it was not a single).
