Many artists have covered "Isn't It a Pity". It was one of the songs that mainstream balladeers rushed to record as a result of "All Things Must Pass" popularity. In 1971, Matt Monro released it as a single, in an attempt to repeat the commercial success he had enjoyed with his recording of the Beatles' "Yesterday". Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest 1970 winner, Dana, recorded a rendition that author Alan Clayson views as "more poignant" than Harrison's or Monro's, given the political upheaval gripping Ulster at the time.
