Al Green – “I Want to Hold Your Hand”
Smells Like: Al Green, The Beatles
Al Green, who sang the best Beatles cover ever.
Al Green: I Want To Hold Your Hand
From 7″ (Hi, 1969)
This is a very obscure song, at least this version of it, which originally came out on 7″. I’ve spoken to several soul fans about this song, but no one I met ever heard it. Suffice it to say this is what the old folks call “fly.”

Well, the song is included as a bonus track on Al Green’s first album, “Green Is Blues,” which is pretty widely available.
