George Harrison’s lovely song, “My Sweet Lord,” from the Desert Island Disc All Things Must Pass, was released in the UK 40 years ago today.

Enjoy the video and have fun!
John Lennon wrote AND recorded “Instant Karma” 42 years ago today, and it was released ten days later.
John said he “wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we’re putting it out for dinner.”

Enjoy the live video and have fun!
