George Harrison - If Not For You - Acoustic Version

This is a wonderful tune written by Bob Dylan.
He gave George the song to record at 1970 for his all things must pass album, but did the song later himself.

Hi Little Harrison Girl.

Thank you for sharing these jems. I have been a Beatle/Harrison fan for 44yrs. Guess you could say I'm an old timer Beatles fan. I grew up with them, first saw them on The Ed Sullivan Show. What magic they had then and still have today.

Not to show you up or anything but you do know that "If Not For You "is a Bob Dylan tune. George did it so well on "All Things Must Pass." He reallly loved Bob. Anyway, thank you for being here. You're a jem.

Take care,

Randy

Since you're stealing George's song and dedicating it to your wife, I'd like to dedicate your dedication to my wonderful dog. His name is Hans, and he is a pug.

Now: I would also like to dedicate James Cameron's film Titanic to a parrot I used to have named Stevie. My shitty neighbor's pit-bull ate Stevie; that bastard dog. I dedicate Leonardo Dicaprio's ice cold death (you know, the end when drifts into the water and dies) to that murderous pit-bull: I hope he's in dog hell!

I dedicate this beautiful song in VERY loving memory of My Heavenly- Resplendent Wife, Barbra. Barbra, I pray and hope it is you, and no mere angel, who comes to take me to Heaven (to be with you Forever)! We were together for only two years before cancer stole you away from me. I miss you beyond words. I love you beyond Space/Time. Barbra Jean "Rose" Ragan (June 23, 1967 -- November 21/22, 2010). Thank you, My Barbra, and George Harrison, for teaching this world about TRUE BEAUTY and LOVE!

All I can say now, is that my belief in Bob Dylan as a songwriter has just 'shot up' --now, it's astronomical (after all, it was there, before). I thought for decades that GH wrote this song. It's a phenomenal thing, when a songwriter/singer writes a song that suits his/her intended singer so much. Sorry @randlec6 and @nafaidni, but, I HAD to KNOW. I hope you will forgive me for being wrong and needing to find out the truth. I hope we are still 'friends'.

[MicroWorldLover]

@randlec6 Still 'friends'?

[MicroWorldLover]

@randlec6 *face palm* You were correct, and I was wrong I did more digging... How could I have thought that all these years? Perhaps it was because of GH's sweet melody. I don't know. However, I DO know, it's good to know that there are authentic YT'ers out there, like you, who persist for the truth, even though some of us are obviously ignorant., especially when we honestly don't know it, ourselves. Thanks, for helping me to get to the truth--tis ok that BD wrote it--I 'love' him, too.
