John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote this song. The Beatles recorded it a year earlier, but never released it as a single. The Beatles were so impressed with Cocker's version that they sent him a telegram of congratulations and placed an ad in the music papers praising it.
This was recorded in 3/4 time - a waltz. The Beatles original version was in traditional 4/4 time.
Jimmy Page played guitar and BJ Wilson from Procol Harum played drums on the track. The soul singers Madeline Bell Reeves, Rosetta Hightower, Patrice Holloway, and Sunny Wheetman provided backing vocals.
