Peter And Gordon - A World Without Love

Most people know this song, but not everyone realises that it was written by Paul McCartney, and credited as a Lennon/McCartney composition. Macca didn't consider it good enough for The Beatles, so he offered it to Billy J Kramer, who turned it down. Peter and Gordon recorded it and took it to number one in the UK singles chart. - Chris Vinnicombe

Wilson Pickett and The Bee Gees - Hey Jude

Wilson Pickett's studio recording of Hey Jude is a corker – you haven't heard the song's famous coda until you've heard him tear it apart with his guttural roar. In this clip, which sees him trading lines with the brothers Gibb (it must have made sense back in the '70s), Pickett goes into overdrive at 2.54 and keeps his foot on the throttle until the end. - Ben Rogerson

Earth Wind And Fire - Got To Get You Into My Life

Starring The Bee Gees (yep, them again), the 1978 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band musical film was described by Perry Seibert of Allmovie as "quite possibly the silliest movie ever conceived." This video probably won't convince you otherwise, but EWAF's cover of GTGYIML still slinks like one of those metal coil things that goes down stairs. - Ben Rogerson
