This Day in Rock History - August 9th

1965: On this day, a British quartet records a cover version of a song from the Beatles’ “Help!” soundtrack. The Silkie’s version of “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” becomes the first cover of a Beatles song to reach the Top 10 in America.

What you might not know is that John Lennon was the producer for the session, Paul McCartney played guitar and George Harrison played the tambourine!
