I sometimes think that the sign of a good artist is to be able to make a cover version of a song that is equal, if not better to the original. The better known the original is, the more difficult is the task. Joe Cocker did exactly that when he recorded his version of "With a Little help." Offhand, I can only think of one other artist that has matched or improved on a Beatles number.
RIP Joe.
