The melody and words are only vaguely reminiscent of the original. The most notable example is McCartney's delivery of "Kansas City" by Lieber, Stoller, and Penniman. In most cases, the Beatles put their own individual stamp on the covers they recorded. Beatles songs themselves are now covered more than those of any other performer or group in the world. From rockers to ballads, the group seems to have assimilated a taste for rock, folk, blues, and soul that they incorporated into their own style of songwriting that evolved in the later years of the group far past their original influences. Many music critics have expressed the opinion that without such diverse influences as those cited above (and many more), the Beatles might not have had such a wide musical expression as demonstrated in the body of their work, writing in so many diverse styles.
