Songs of the Beatles have been covered since 1963, and sometimes in huge numbers. Thousands of these Beatles covers can be found here, in selections of media lists, songs, or performing artists. All these items contain at the least one Beatles Cover Version.

More than 50 years ago, November 26th 1970, Let It Be was released. It was to be the last Beatles (studio) album and it received mixed reviews. Especially Phil Spector's production work was not to everyone's liking. The heavy orchestration was seen as overkill.
Still, singles like "Let It Be", "Get Back" and "The Long and Winding Road" became hits.
