Sorry, I regret the doubled nomination of Watchtower. Did Hollies make it to the LP charts with their Hollies sing Dylan? That's my next try. (And I also like to mention Manfred Mann's With God On Our Side. Although not a hit as such)..

Hollies Sing Dylan made number 3 in the UK album Charts in 69, Einar.

The thread is UK hits written by Dylan but recorded by other artists in the sixties, if we were to include just Dylan songs recorded other than those he recorded, the list would be pages long.

With God On My Side was released on a Manfred EP (Remember them)if memory serves me correctly.

Prof. Jingle Jangle's post on this thread has given me yet another medley idea...I'll have to start work on it right away.

The title? "All Alone Along The Watchtower Again", naturally...

One thing that struck me whilst researching this, is that Dylan really took off in a big way in 1965/66 around the same time as all the original Merseybeat groups (Beatles aside) were just going into decline. Are the two facts related? Who knows?

Not related IMO. And I think Dylan took off a full year earlier. His MC accident was in May '66 (same time roughly as Jan Berry's car accident). Boom. Underground.

In the U.K Bobs single chart career started in 1965 with 5 hits and then 4 in 1966. Followed by 2 in 1969. He may have been popular in terms of Album sales before 1965 but it was his success in the singles charts that I was referring to.

Fairport Convention's version of Percy's Song?

Alright Rob what is it.

Ok I'll put you out of your misery!!
Cannot leave it any longer as Im off on my holidays to Spain for 2 weeks in the morning.

John was very nearly there.

It was Fairport Convention with 'Si tu dois partir' which is a Cajun French version of 'If you got to go, go now' which got to no 21 in July 1969.
