I'll make this tough:
Simon & Garfunkel sang of Mrs. Robinson, and singing of Mrs. Jones was Billy Paul.

One of Buffalo Springfield's classics, Rock and Roll Woman, was featured in the setlists of some of the late '60s live performances of the Beach Boys.

Boy, this has been stale for awhile! What, the Beach Boys too hard to link?  The Beach Boys covered several songs on their Stacks O Tracks album, including a couple by The Beatles. (There, is that easy enough? ) |
