I'm pretty sure "Go Now" was credited to Denny Laine, which is why they played the song on the Wings Over America tour.
It might the only hit song of the Moody Blues written by Laine (someone on the Forum will surely look this up!).
I always liked it. As a kid, I played it for my father figuring he'd like the piano. (He looked down on the Beatles and everything connected to them.)

I looked it up and it turns out Go Now was written by Larry Banks and Milton Bennett (not sure who they are) but it was originally recorded by Bessie Banks. Denny Laine heard it and decided that the Moody Blues should record it. I guess that's why he performed it with Wings as well.

Wow, I always thought that "Go Now" was a Laine original too!
Not exactly a Beatles cover, but I might as well mention Sam Philips' version of John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth", since it concludes her somewhat Beatlesque album "Martinis and Bikinis" – my very favourite album of the 1990s.

This week I listen to Cilla Black's Through the Years album. and I found another good cover of Beatles songs. A standard cover of Here,There and Everywhere.
(I have a question too. Is the first track of album, Through the Years a tribute to John Lennon?)

No, it was a celebration of her 50 years in music. The video, during the verse you're thinking of, does show a picture of The Beatles, which then zooms into John during the "All You Need Is Love" mention. However, throughout the video are scattered various images of people from John Wayne to Martin Luther King, from JFK to Ronald Reagan.

Maybe I'm Amazed by Welsh singer Jem. Very different from the original, but one of my favorites:

Laurence Juber, of Wings fame, was on Breakfast with the Beatles, and he played a couple of covers, including "Yesterday." Really liked his style, sort of classical guitarish. I put it on my wishlist.
