"Baby You're A Rich Man" has to be way way down the list for anyone ranking Beatles songs. And yet, hear it and it's pretty darn great.
Staple Singers- For What It's Worth is an excellent cover version.
I gave Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - The Man and His Music a spin over the weekend. What a gas! Out of 48 songs, there were only 2 that were a bit cringe-worthy. The rest were a great diverse mix of songs that make you move your feet.

That’s a good version of I Think It’s Going To Rain Today for today’s cover. I’ve had a soft spot for this one too over the years: https://youtu.be/BxF7V56mmxc?si=Q5xH6Sj12iBWRh4g
That Peggy Lee cover is excellent.
It’s the version that made me realize what a great song it is. The Irma Thomas one is great too—with Newman himself on piano.
