Wish I could say I love this one. Not gonna happen. Once again, it's the lyrics. I have to have some. We
all know about the lawsuit, blah-blah-blah. Sounded more like Oh Happy Day than He's So Fine to me. And to
have to pay your ex-manager was the low blow. Didn't know this was first recorded by Billy Preston. The
first hit by an ex-Beatle. Take that John and Paul. George was all in for his Hare Krishna period and let
it be known here. Written while he was on tour with Delaney & Bonnie. Check out the cast on the recording.
Didn't know there were that many instruments on there.
