Carpenters' Ticket to Ride (as a kid I hated them. What can I say? Tastes change. Rarely, but they do.)
Surprised nobody has mentioned this along with Superstar. 

5th Dimension's Never My Love. That was quite an unexpected wow.

While admitting I’ve never heard Grant Green’s version of "Moon River", I can’t imagine a version better than that of Henry Mancini.

Regarding Dylan’s take on "The House Of The Rising Son", the reason The Animals’ pianist Alan Price is in Don’t Look Back is because Bob loved version their of the song, and invited Alan to join him on the road.
