Under The Covers: Other Artists Covering Beatles Songs: ‘In My Life’- Johnny Cash. From Rubber Soul- ‘In My Life’- a Lennon-McCartney song written and sung by John Lennon- certainly ranks as one of my favorite Beatles songs ever- ranks among my favorite songs ever period. Johnny Cash was well into his American Recordings career- and near the end of his life when he covered ‘In My Life’- on his-American IV: When The Man Comes Around album- the final album he would release in his lifetime. At the time you knew he was in failing health and nearing the end and he knew it too.
