A version by American garage rock band Terry Knight and the Pack appeared on Billboard magazine's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

The lyrics are striking, taking accurate aim at the hypocrites of society and politics, and the fact that men cannot judge each other, despite race, creed, or religion.

[2] In February 1966, Terry Knight and the Pack recorded their version of "You're a Better Man Than I" after hearing the Yardbirds perform the song at a gig in Michigan.

[3] Writing on the musical career of Terry Knight, music historian Barry Stroller described the Pack's rendition as a "bona-fide classic", before commending its "surprisingly subtle delivery, basic electric guitar chords supported gently with organ and rhythm section, Knight brilliantly finds (admittedly in lyrics he did not write) a perfect narrative in which to grow from teeniebopper heartthrob to social voice of conscience".

[6] English punk band Sham 69 covered the song for a1979 single making the UK top 50; it featured on their third album, The Adventures of the Hersham Boys.
