Can’t Buy Me Love
The Beatles’ recording of “Can’t Buy Me Love” came out in 1964, the earliest year on file; Rita Reys with The Pim Jacobs Combo’s and George Martin’s came out the same year. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are credited as its writers. Also recorded by Paul McCartney (released 1991), Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (released 1966) and Tom Jones (released 1997), among 640 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Squeeze took a Lennon and McCartney song to the stage, and McCartney himself came back to it in 1991 with a version of his own. Follow him and you get the writer still living with the song decades on, the long way round from the Beatles.
