El McMeen's and Lisa Lauren's covers of "Here Comes the Sun."  (Lisa also does a
very nice cover of "Dear Prudence".)  Let me know if you need more details,
and I'll run down album, label, and the like.
-Susanne Millsaps

I remember Judy Collins doing a great cover of In My Life. In regards to
George Harrison's songs, Richie Havens had a hit with Here Comes the Sun.
Northern Lights does a nice version of If I Needed Someone and Kenny Rankin
does a beautiful version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
