My Sweet Lord

My Sweet Lord

George Harrison

“My Sweet Lord” was the first single from George Harrison’s first solo album All Things Must Pass. “My Sweet Lord” became a huge success, reaching number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remaining on top 50 for four consecutive weeks.

Harrison was sued for plagiarizing a similar tune to The Chiffons' “He’s So Fine”. Harrison was eventually found guilty of ‘subconscious plagiarism’. The verdict caused a tidal wave in the music world with many artists rushing to add credits to their songs in which they borrowed similar tunes or were heavily inspired by.

The song also recently appeared in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and was part of the soundtrack.
