Alan Whitehead is a British musician and businessman.
 He started his career in the music industry in 1966 as the drummer for Crispian St. Peters, but is best known as a member of Marmalade, whose most successful single in the UK was a cover version of the Paul McCartney song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da".
 In 1969 Marmalade were signed to Decca Records and their next song "Reflections of My Life" became a number 10 hit in the USA.
 Whitehead left the band in 1978 and set up his own management company, negotiating his first production contract with EMI Records.
 Groups that he successfully managed were Lipps Inc., Mel and Kim, Modern Romance and Rikki Peebles.
 He later went on to manage all girl groups Amazulu and Belle Stars.
"From Me to You" is a song written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon and released by English rock group the Beatles in 1963 as their third single.
 The single was the Beatles' first number one in some of the United Kingdom charts, second in others, but failed to make an impact in the United States at the time of its initial release.
 However, a 1963 cover version released by Del Shannon resulted in the song becoming the first Lennon–McCartney tune to enter the American pop chart.
"Just a Ride" is the second single released by Jem from her debut album "Finally Woken".
 The song was featured on "", along with "Maybe I'm Amazed" (a cover of the Paul McCartney song).
The Attack were a freakbeat/psychedelic rock band formed in 1966 around singer Richard Shirman (born 26 April 1949, London Died July 2017) The first line-up featured drummer Alan Whitehead from Marmalade, guitarist David O'List (later of The Nice) and John Du Cann (later of Andromeda and Atomic Rooster).
 Their first single "Try It" had also been recorded by The Standells and Ohio Express.
 They also released a version of "Hi Ho Silver Lining", a few days earlier than Jeff Beck.
 Richard Shirman was invited to be singer with Andromeda but he declined.
"Got to Get You into My Life" is a song by the Beatles, first released in 1966 on the album "Revolver".
 It was written by Paul McCartney, though officially credited to Lennon–McCartney.
 The song is a homage to the Motown Sound, with colourful brass instrumentation, and lyrics that suggest a psychedelic experience.
 "It's actually an ode to pot," McCartney explained.
 A cover version by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers peaked at number six in 1966 in the UK.
 The song was issued in the United States as a single from the "Rock 'n' Roll Music" compilation album in 1976, six years after the Beatles disbanded.
 It reached number seven on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, the Beatles' last top ten US hit until their 1995 release "Free as a Bird".
In the music industry, a pre-release cover version is a type of cover version that arises when a cover artist releases a version of a song before the original artist does.
 This practise takes advantage of a 'release window'; it occurs when an upcoming song has lots of airplay but has not yet been released.
 Pre-release cover versions are common in the UK because of the unique situation there in that songs by big acts get weeks of airplay before being released, giving cover artists enough time for session musicians and computer experts to record a near-exact cover version of the song.
 For example, UK #1, "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo ft. 2 Chainz, made #71 the week before it made #1 in the form of a pre-release cover version by Select Hits.
 Usually the original artist's record label will notice the cover version and release the original early; when Can You Blow My covered Flo Rida's "Whistle", Rida's record label rush-released the song mid-week.
 Avicii's "Wake Me Up!
" was intended to be released on 8 September 2013 however on 15 July 2013 the Official Charts Company announced that it would be released that week after a group called 'Spark Productions' recorded a pre-release cover version and made #26 on the UK Singles Chart with it.
"Girlfriend" is a song written by Paul McCartney.
 McCartney thought of the song as one that Michael Jackson might like to record, and mentioned this to Jackson at a party in Hollywood.
 Jackson had stated in interviews with the music press in the 1970s that he was a fan of The Beatles and the chance to record a McCartney original helped to inspire his next project.
 However, McCartney ended up recording it himself with his band Wings, and it was issued in 1978 on the album "London Town".
 Subsequently, it was suggested by Quincy Jones as a possible track for Jackson to record for his 1979 album "Off the Wall".
 Jones was unaware that the song had been written for Jackson in the first place.
 Jackson's recording omitted the middle eight heard in McCartney's version.
 It was issued exclusively in the UK in 1980, as the fifth and final single from the "Off the Wall" album.
 This proved to be another hit single for Jackson and one of his first recordings of a Paul McCartney song.
James Louis McCartney (born 12 September 1977) is a British musician and songwriter living in London.
 He is the only son of songwriter and former Beatle Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney.

"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is a song by the Beatles from their 1968 album "The Beatles" (often called "the White Album").

"The Wilhelm Scream" is a song by British musician James Blake, released on his self-titled debut studio album.
 It is a cover of the song, "Where to Turn" by Blake's father, James Litherland.
