Ramsey Lewis recorded & released an LP of White Album covers less than a month after the release of the Beatles' White Album and reached #4 in the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. And he didn't even like #TheBeatles.

It's like the whole of the 60s encapsulated in just one album. #Jazz, kitsch strings, soul-funk, teenybop, and he even introduced early electronics (Ramsey beat The Beatles to the Moog by a year). There's a dreamy montage quality about it as if mixed by a DJ. I love it
