Elton John - The Beatles' "Something" LIVE 2002

Rare Audio LIVE recording of Elton John singing George Harrison's "Something" at the 2002 Rainforest Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The concert (2002 April 13), produced by Trudie Styler & Sting for their Rainforest Foundation, was a tribute to George Harrison who had died the previous November. Various artists sang George Harrison songs, as well as other sixties music. Included in the show were James Taylor, Sting, Lulu and Elton John, plus Jeff Beck, Smokey Robinson, Ravi Shankar, Nina Simone, Wynnona Judd, and Patti Labelle. When Elton sang "Something" he described it as the song "every songwriter wishes he would have written". He also said of George Harrison, "I was fortunate in my life to have spent time with him".

Well, I think, if Bob Dylan can sing "Something" then surely can Elton. During this Rainforrest concert he also performed another harrison's song "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" together with Sting and James Taylor.
