Unquestionably George Harrison’s favorite song ever *sarcasm.* He spent years and mucho dinero defending himself against unintentional plagiarism charges over his “My Sweet Lord” sounding way too much like “He’s So Fine” - and lost. The Chiffons were NYC teenagers with no luck at all in the business before this tune, an intended B-side written by their manager, Ronnie Mack. He brought in Sylvia Peterson from Philly to join the group and sing lead. Ronnie died from cancer at 23 just after this reached #1 in the spring of 1963, and never fully enjoyed his success.
