Read the extraordinary warnings of prophet Linda Newkirk
Most definitely the most amazing prophecies on the web, The coming Obama Assassination, The Appearance of the Two Witnesses, The False Rapture/Alien Invasion, The Truth About Revelation 12, The New Madrid Fault To Split the USA in Half.
These are very profound messages from Jesus... Prophecies Org
Harrison first had Billy Preston record this song, but the single went nowhere. After he recorded it there was some talk of "Oh Happy Day" but that was in "Public Domain" so no problem there. It was after George's version started to climb the charts that The Belmont's recorded the song interspersing some lyrics from "He's So Fine". The songs matched perfectly with many of the notes and chord structure mixing perfectly. Then Bright Tunes took note, so to speak!
"Oh! Happy Day" was already in "Public Domain". Harrison originally gave "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston to record but that version went nowhere.
It was then that Harrison recorded it and then the Belmonts version, incorporating "He's So Fine" followed. In 1976 Harrison was found guilty of "unintentional infringement". But because of Allen Klien's double-dealing and screwing of Harrison, the judge gave sole ownership of "He's So Fine" to George Harrison.
This version of ' My sweet lord" was a very minor hit for The Belmonts but it was a very cosequential record for George Harrison because it alerted Bright Tunes, the copyright holders of ' He's so fine" to the uncanny similarities of the two songs. Years of costly litigation ensued.
The Belmonts probably had no intention of getting George Harrison into trouble.
@MariposaGirl1981 George Harrison originally came up with the melody basing it on " Oh Happy Day" but then changed it to avoid a lawsuit. Many years and lawsuits later the Court decided that Harrison lifted much of "My Sweet Lord" from "He's so Fine" but that it was probably done subconsciously, which meant a smaller damage awarded to the claiment (Allen Klein)
@polycarpx - You are absolutely correct. Harrison first had Billy Preston record this song, but the single went nowhere. After he recorded it there was some talk of "Oh Happy Day" but that was in "Public Domain" so no problem there. It was after George's version started to climb the charts that The Belmont's recorded the song interspersing some lyrics from "He's So Fine". The songs matched perfectly with many of the notes and chord structure mixing perfectly. Then Bright Tunes took note.
Great cover of My Sweet Lord...But let's remember that George Harrison (with the help of Billy Preston) originally wrote "My Sweet Lord"....and George's take-off was not the Chiffons' He's So Fine but rather the Edwin Hawkins Singers: Oh Happy Day.

The melody and the lawsuit was never based on "Oh Happy Day", but rather the Chiffons song, "He's So Fine".

@polycarpx George Harrison actually based "my sweet lord" on the christian spiritual "Oh Happy
Day" not "He's so fine", the btw Aasokeo that's where the do-lang comes from.
