>Frank Sinatra began performing "Something" live in 1971 and shortly afterwards went into the studio to record a cover version--for some years he incorrectly credited the song to Lennon-McCartney before eventually being corrected on its authorship. Harrison was not initially happy with Sinatra's cover, saying of it "I just didn't care about him. To me he was part of the generation before mine. I was much more interested in hearing James Brown or Shirley Ellis's covers of the song." He did eventually warm to the cover and by the early '90s had begun performing it live with the slightly altered lyrics from Sinatra's version.
>>127987921Cool story bro
Why was George a perpetual dick?
>>127987921Funny how he talks about Sinatra being kinda outdated for him but he still got filtered as fuck by techno and rap. Seems like all musicians reach their "it's the kids who are wrong!" phase
>>127987987Rap isn't music though.
>>127988007>liking James Brown (the guy whose drum breaks helped create rap) but not rap itself
>>127987946Constantly being undermined by the people around you
Yesterday and Something were popular for washed pre-rock singers to cover.
>>127988052They had a recognizable melody suitable to their styles. A lot of rock kind of rewrote the rules.
>>127987946He was a frustated cuck.
Peggy Lee had the first cover version of Something out and it's also the best one, the only one I've heard that matched the original.
>>127987921>I was much more interested in hearing James Brown or Shirley Ellis's covers of the song.BLM/DEI cock sucking faggot
>>127988166That whole wave of 60s and 70s artists where.Then they went back to not giving a fuck in the 80s.
>>127988166Indeed. James Brown would butcher the song.
>>127987946All he said was that he wasn't interested in Sinatra's cover, it's not like George trashed him.The story about him writing his bio, and not even mentioning John in it at all, is way more dickish. Or when he fucked Ringo's wife.>>127988024what is nuance?>>127988052and Hey Jude
>>127991377>All he said was that he wasn't interested in Sinatra's cover, it's not like George trashed him.George did have right to be lukewarm to Sinatra after all he did not even bother to find out who wrote the song before performing it.

I never super-loved Sinatra's take on Something and like I said I feel Peggy Lee had the only truly great cover of it. A lot of them don't capture the emotional range of the song well and feel like the singer is checking off a box on a list.
>>127988231>>127988256>id like only negroes to cover my songsharrison with the anti-white agenda. >>127991596>George did have right to be lukewarm to Sinatra after all he did not even bother to find out who wrote the song before performing it.do you really think sinatra cared who wrote it?
