Artists covered by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
I count five. I am not counting albums released later such as the Beatles at the BBC. Arthur Alexander was also covered by Bob Dylan (who covered “Sally Sue Brown”. I think he’s the only one to achieve this Trifecta. Check out his music if you don’t know it – he’s great.

?The Honeycombs had a hit with “Have I the Right” as part of the British Invasion in 1964. I really liked the song then and had the 45.
