🎼27 November 1970. George Harrison releases his masterpiece, his third studio album (the first after the #Beatles break-up) entitled All Things Must Pass: it's a huge work (a triple album in fact) where #GeorgeHarrison releases all his spirituality, his tremendous songwriting and his trademark slide guitar sound 🎸
Major artists appear as musicians and/or co-writers in All Things Must Pass, to name a few: #BobDylan, #BillyPreston, #GaryWright, #RingoStarr, #DaveMason, #PeterFrampton, the entire band of #Badfinger and Harrison's longtime friend #EricClapton 🤟
Here's the most famous and best selling song from the album, I'm sure everyone heard it at some point: "My Sweet Lord". It's also the most controversial song for 2 reasons:
1- Harrison was engaged in an endless lawsuit for copyright infringement by American songwriter Ronnie Mack who in 1963 had a n.1 hit called "He's So Fine". Harrison always claimed he never realized that and even offered huge compensation on "My Sweet Lord" sales.
2- Most people think the song is a prayer to God, it is a sarcastic invitation to abandon religious sectarianism instead! Harrison had embraced Hindu belief years earlier when tavelling to India, and in the song we can hear the typical "Hare Krishna" chant.
