To alien8990 sorry to tell you this but George Harrison was not a Christian. He was was very involved with the Hare Krishnas, hence the lyrics to My Sweet Lord. But I'm glad you appreciate his genius anyway. Maybe you could give John another chance, he DID actually believe in Jesus, but that shouldn't make a difference to how good a musician he was.
@Kataline96 Actually there are rumours and few quite trustworthy sources that he converted to christianity before he died. His lyrics in his brainwashed album are quite christian to me.
I personally think, that George preferred God over religions just like I do:)
to alien8990 get your finger out of your arse, all the beatles brought something to the table. george brought great guitar riffs like guitar gently weeps, ringo was ringo with great timing on the drums to9 hold the tune together. As for john and paul i think you will find that all the greatest songs came from the brains of those two gentle men. many have tried to copy them very verry few have succeded. B y the way i grew up with my brothers fighting over the betles and the stones.
You know what? You either have bad taste in music or you're just plain retarted.
George Harrison may not be the greatest guitarist in the whole world, but he may be one of the bestest slide guitarists. I believe he's a very talented wealthy man...John Lennon is ok, but I don't like him; he doesn't believe in Jesus and he's over-rated. George Harrison wrote a lot of beautiful christian country songs, and his songs are very complexed. George was better off without The Beatles,he's not over-rated.
Great song! Thanks for posting this alternate version. By coincidence, at the time this song came out, I was married to a man who was a dead ringer for George. Wish he had George's personality and musical talent (thought his mother did). I divorced him in 1990 and three years married ... a dead ringer for Gary Puckett! lol
This video is the UK version that was not played much here on MTV but I liked it so frekn much better than the US version and the talking moose head...
Not sure if the description is quite accurate - the majority of Geroge's solo music didn't use "unusual instruments" and wasn't really based on Indian music either. And this song wasn't written by George it's a cover version.
Great post. Little known fact -George posted #1 songs in 3 decades if you count Something as a George song. The girl in this was very hot when I saw this in 1987 and now well she's got to be forty or so..nothing wrong with that I am over forty and so is my beautiful spouse but it it cool seeing this
It is cheesy, but the song kin of is, too. Plus, it was the 80s, and it *really* shows on the video. Also, yes, the guy is Alexis Denisof. It's cool he made a George Harrison video, too bad it wasn't a better one.
I always liked this Video over the remade one with George in the old house...by the way how many know its Sir Bob Geldorf doing the acrobatics in place of George in the Video???
"Got My Mind Set on You" is a song written by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962.
A cover version by former Beatle George Harrison from his album Cloud Nine reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1988. Two music videos were released for the song.
This song makes me happy. I never realized George Harrison did up until recently. This was one of the biggest hits of the time. Hits tend to be more simple.
don't know who the girl is, but she sort of resembles pattie a bit, don't you think? they have similar features. and i don't really get it. i thought he was trying to get her a ring and he was getting her a ballerina. mmm. haha.
Alexis Denisof is the guy(Wesley from Angel and Buffy) and I'm not sure who the girl is but not Nicole Kidman. But I totally love this song! I just found out that he was in it and I had to check it out for myself! And sure enough Alexis is!
Can i possibly LOVE this song and George anymore? I think not! lol...ive been absolutly HOOKED on this song for the last 2 weeks, I dohnt know why, but suddenly this song has been played nonstop in my MP3 player! lol...on constant repeat! I LOVE GEORGE! I just wish he didnt have to die in 01...he died right on my mums bday...its sad....well- lets celebrate his rad life! george is the best! and always will be!
Wow, THANK YOU! MTV played the hell out of the "library" version and I didn't discover there was a different video until a few years later -- this is the first time I've seen it.
If only he were still alive, he was my favorite Beatle, and in my opinion the most talent! :) I <3 George Harrison!
