my sweet lord

George turned a song of prayer into gold. The guitar riff and chanting background vocals are dynamic and uplifting. It is liberating in its use of religious terminology from Judeo-Christian and Hindu practice, uniting all faiths as one universal connection with deity. Released as the first single from his triple-album opus, 'All Things Must Pass', it was a worldwide number one smash and was the first song by a solo Beatle to hit the top spot. It's similarity to the Chiffon's 'He's So Fine' led to a lawsuit that ended with Harrison surrendering most of his royalties. He eventually bought the rights to the song that the judge claimed he had "subconsciously copied."
