The Pearls cover

In 1972, "You Came, You Saw, You Conquered" was covered by the British female duo The Pearls, reaching the Top 40 in the UK.[3] Like the Ronettes' version, their record was also a non-album single. The song was, however, included on a 2005 compilation of the group's hits entitled, A String of Pearls.
