In their early days the Beatles covered R & B singers of the United States and gave those singers credit for using their songs. Later, they began to write their own material and good material. In the 80s and 90s radios stations began to specialized in one music format per station. Oldies and so forth, therefore many radio listeners listen to what they prefer i.e. R & B, Rock. There are a few stations that play a variety of R & B, Rock and Roll, and Pop where you will hear the Beatles' music. I.E. WKRB 90.0 Richburg, SC which has five transmitters that cover Northeast and parts of upstate South Carolina and reaches into southern mid North Carolina.

That's why it always helps to look under a song title for the name/s in parentheses.

So, the Earth wind and Fire take on this song was original and good. This Beatles original is truly excellent, but wait, there was a 1966 number one single version of the song by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers - and that is the pinnacle! On that version the horns section and the vocals are giving it 200%. You might want to take a listen to that version as well (but make sure you get the mono version, not the stereo remix). Recently Paul McCartney has fessed up that he wrote this song after first experiencing LSD (I think it was LSD?) and in his words his immediate reaction was "I got to get this into my life!" which is where the song title came from.

[@peterhall2810]

The Beatles toured with Cliff Bennett in 1966 andthey also shared the same manager (Brian Epstein). That is why Bennett was the first to release this song. He may have asked the Beatles if he could sing it, or they may have written it with hm in mind.

[@DavidB-2268]

For whatever reason, this song had a resurgence in the seventies, at least here in Canada. And because it was right around the same time that Band on the Run was playing, I thought that this was Wings for a few years until I got deeper into the Beatles catalogue.

[@curtiswilliams578]

I think its resurgence in Canada was for the same reason as in the US. In the summer of 1976, Paul McCartney was making his first tour of North America since The Beatles had stopped touring in 1966. This spurred the first major wave of Beatles nostalgia since the group had split up six years earlier and Capitol Records took advantage of this by issuing a Beatles compilation LP called ‘Rock n Roll Music’ in June. ‘Got To Get You Into My Life’ was issued on 31 May 1976 as the single to promote the album. It reached the top of the Canadian charts and #7 on the US charts, which was impressive for a song that was by that time already 10 years old. In both the US and Canada, ‘Rock n Roll Music’ reached the #2 position on the LP charts, being kept out of the #1 spot by ‘Wings At The Speed of Sound’, the album Paul McCartney & Wings were touring in support of. So, with Paul in the Top Ten on both the singles and the album charts with both bands and Wings on the road in North America, it’s not at all surprising you thought it was a Wings record.

The story goes is that Maurice White, leader of Earth, Wind & Fire, agreed to do a song for the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" film in 1978. None of the band knew the song by The Beatles. So, White went out and bought a 45 of it, and locked the core of the band together in a rented hotel suite to learn and rehearse the song. Their hit is what they came up with, a funky, soulful version that is, IMO, much better than what The Beatles did.
