Nope. And I just checked it out. No thanks. Even the old version you posted was better than the Beatles version. Tone and beat are wrong for the song.

I like the Barrett Strong version better, but I know many people know it from the Beatles version.

Think of it, the man who wrote this was an ex-boxer, who wrote some song for Jackie Wilson. He recorded this for the record label he founded, and it was the label's first hit in the summer of 1960. That label would go on to have more hits than any other record label in the 1960s. Amazing.
