Carl Radle IIRC. He was one strung out dude by my rememberences, but he was in some mighty big and important music back in those days. One can listen to the total or the sum of the parts. I'll just listen to the total. Synergy just sounds better somestimes. |

This is why George is my favorite Beatle. Greatness resides in this song.

Absolutely brilliant, the version played live at his memorial concert with Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, McCartney; et al, was even better, if possible....

Ahhhhhh - the teenage memories of listening to this in my folks family room soon after this came out - only vinyl then. For an excellent cover, check out Bettye Lavette - she spins it so well.

It's a pity George isn't still with us and making music.

I should say: how much MORE heartfelt can a song be?

George always rates a 10+ with me for anything he performed-that's the way it is!  |

i'll bet lennon was saying in '74 "isn't it a pity i rejected this song waaay back in '66?". kudos george...this song along with your guitar solo on "let it be" were two HUGE f-ups by lennon-mccartney.............this belonged on revolver and the guitar solo belongs in let it be......isn't it a pity mccartney had become such a despot by then that two versions had to be released?

It's a Pity and a Shame that the Beatles imploded the way they did. Love em or hate em, it's hard to deny the influence that they've had on modern music. Given another 10 years to make music together, who knows how wonderful (or how awful) it could have gotten. |

Watched the Concert for George last weekend. At times I was moved to tears. They did the "Hey Jude thing" at the end of this tune. |
