George Benson, when he was first starting out and before he did those pop-jazz hits in the late 70's, did an album entitled "The Other Side Of Abbey Road" of the songs on that Beetles album and it was great.

This was George Benson's album, and although I've always preferred the MG's version, there's no reason not to like George's. He's got such a great voice.
