A film based on Fab Four songs didn’t appeal to George Harrison.
The Beatles’ connection to Earth, Wind & Fire starts with a strange film. Roger Stigwood, a producer, produced a film called Sgt. The Fab Four’s music inspired Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Bee Gees were the stars of the film, which also featured Peter Frampton and other musicians.
George Harrison talked about his thoughts on the film in a 1979 interview with Rolling Stone. “I just feel bad for Robert Stigwood, the Bee Gees, and Pete Frampton for doing it,” he said, “because they had established themselves as decent artists in their own right and then… it’s like the classic thing of greed.”
