| George Harrison - My sweet lord single cover | |||||||||||||||
| "My Sweet Lord" is a song by former Beatle George Harrison from his UK number one hit triple album All Things Must Pass. Session musicians on the track included Eric Clapton. The song is primarily about God, and features repetitions of the avatars of Lord Vishnu, the preserving god in Hinduism.
When released as a single, "My Sweet Lord" topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. In October 1970 Harrison told the British press that it was going to be his first solo single, but a few days later he changed his mind and said it would not be made available thus, as he did not want sales in that format to detract from those of the album. (The other three former Beatles had also released solo albums earlier that year, without releasing a single in Britain from any of them). It was released as a single in the US on 23 November 1970. Within a few weeks, EMI and Apple Records bowed to media and public demand, and the UK release followed on 15 January 1971. Entering the British charts in the first week at No. 7 and then hitting the summit for five weeks, it was the first single by an ex-Beatle to reach No. 1. It did so again in the UK when reissued in January 2002 after Harrison's death from cancer. The song was originally intended for Billy Preston, who had a minor hit with it in early 1970, in his album Encouraging Words. It was written in December 1969, when Harrison and Preston were in Copenhagen, Denmark. The recording of the song took place in London. Billy was the principal musician while Harrison was engineering the sessions. The drumming was performed by Alan White, now better known for his long association with Yes. White was introduced to Harrison by John Lennon, after he had worked with the Plastic Ono Band and on Lennon's second solo album, Imagine. When All Things Must Pass was re-issued for its thirtieth anniversary in 2000, Harrison recorded a new version of the song as a bonus track, sharing vocals with Sam Brown. In Britain the original single was officially a double-A Side with "What Is Life", so both sides had a full Apple label. In the US it was paired with "Isn't It A Pity", which was not included on the 2002 re-release. The latter, on CD only, included "My Sweet Lord (2000)" and "Let It Down" as additional tracks. After Harrison's death, at the tribute Concert for George in November 2002, the song was performed by Billy Preston. | |||||||||||||||
