George Harrison's composition "Something" for the final Beatles album was one of their most covered songs, and one of the most covered pop songs ever, as well as Frank Sinatra's favorite Beatles song. In addition to the original, this mix from a couple years back has covers by Isaac Hayes and Carmen McRae.
"Laia Ladaia (Reza)" was made popular by Sergio Mendes and is the other songs featured on this mix, with versions by Quarteto Em Cy and Marvin Gaye, performing live at The Copa.
