The first solo #1 single from an ex-Beatle became a worldwide chart-topper for George Harrison. It dealt with his dedication to the Hare Krishna movement, with a slight nod to Judeo-Christian religions. He initially didn’t plan to release any singles from his triple-disc “All Things Must Pass” album; Phil Spector talked him into it. George had some high-powered help from Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr and an all-star cast. Peter Frampton supposedly played lead guitar here. The almost absurd lawsuits over the song’s unintended similarity to the Chiffons’ “He’s So Fine” are well documented and would take hours to delve into. Google it if you like.
