The Beatles: John Lennon and Paul McCartney rejected song that became George Harrison hit
During the Let It Be sessions at Twickenham Film Studios in January 1969, The Beatles were strumming along coming up with new songs. Paul McCartney’s composing of Get Back was captured on film as was George Harrison showing off his new track All Things Must Pass, which ended up being the title song on his debut solo album. Yet, there was another of the Quiet Beatle’s iconic releases that John Lennon and Paul McCartney also turned down.
Harrison first heard the track during a visit to his sister in the US back in 1963. This was a full five months before The Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Entering a record shop in rural Illinois, he bought a number of albums including a 1962 one by James Ray. Included on the vinyl was the song Got My Mind Set On You, which was originally written and composed by Rudy Clark.
