Day 56: February 25: Here Comes the Sun
"And I say it's all right."
With the exception of Paul McCartney, there may not be anyone more responsible for the success of James Taylor than George Harrison. It seems fitting then that he cover this song. This seems to be from the Kennedy Center Honors- and apparently to honor Yo Yo Ma? It's an interesting arrangement; a little too showy for my tastes as the song itself is beautiful in its simplicity. I think it's the best song that George ever wrote.
And here's George's response some ten years later on his very good George Harrison album. Not close to the caliber of Here Comes the Sun, but not bad at all.
