George is my favorite Beatle, today
By eh
So I'm listening to the recently released, "Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison," and I'm falling back in love with the overlooked one. It's amazing how often I forget what an excellent song writer he was.
Also, I still find it weird that "Got My Mind Set on You" and "My Sweet Lord" were written by the same person.
Also, "Give Me Love" might be in my top five desert island hit list.
ETA: I totally forgot to mention this, but: "[My Morning Jacket's JIm] James will debut a George Harrison tribute EP entitled "Tribute To" under the name "Yim Yames" on August 4." (Via)

Hi,
Glad you're enjoying the new George Greatest Hits cd. Just fyi...George did not write Got My Mind Set on You. It's a cover.
Still a great song and fun way to kick off the cd.
George didn't write "Got My Mind Set on You"
"Got My Mind Set on You" is a song written by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962.
