Joe Cocker for his killer cover of that song also.

It's not easy to cover a Beatle song and make it your own.

When my niece graduated from high school about 20 years ago the class chose that as their theme song. The lyrics were printed in the ceremony program, and someone attributed Joe Cocker as the author.
