Starr, Edwin My Sweet Lord Comments
Harrison deliberately sampled "He's so fine" without giving credit to the Chifons / Bonnie Mack. The Beatles, like most groups or musicians, either sample or get inspiration from existing tunes, lyrics, or arrangements. It's been common starting with classical masters like Beethoven, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Rossini and all the way to Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Nirvana, Springsteen, Mark Ronson, David Guetta etc. Just give credit !! And pay royalties.
Best version of this song by a mile. His emotive voice captures the deep yearning to be in God's presence. Bliss
This song was not written by George Harrison. It was written by Ronnie Mack in 1963. George Harrison was sued for “subconscious plagiarism” after Ronnie Mack had written a song 'He's so fine' and payed quite a bit to Ronnie Mack.
Yep, musicians are still suing each other over songs today, especially if there's a lot of money involved. You don't hear of too many suits today over songs that didn't bring in millions of dollars.
If you REALLY to hear want MY SWEET LORD sound HE'S SO FINE, just listen to Billy Preston's recording, it sounds even more like the earlier song than Harrison's own version.
Excellent! Beautiful!
Who was on Bass ?
I looked but I didn't see any musician credits for this song, just writers, producers and arrangers.
Very, very cool Version!
and maha mantra??
2016 and still listening to this beauty and the rest of Motown... God Bless Detroit xxx.
This version really hits me were it hurts....
que voz the best
Produced by Norman Whitfield! Thank you so much for uploading as George was a fan of Edwin Starr (he had a couple of records by him on his jukebox)
You're welcome!
A great version of this classic! I especially like how it starts with "Oh Happy Day" which George Harrison claimed inspired "My Sweet Lord" rather than the Chiffons' "He's So Fine", from which he was convicted of plagiarizing the melody. Thanks for posting this song!
He wasn't "convicted" of anything. smh
Joe Blow Get all bent out of shape over semantics all you want, but the court did find that Harrison had unintentionally plagiarized the melody.
