The Beatles ‘Here Comes The Sun’: Lost Solo Discovered
Here comes the Son.Dhani Harrison, the son of George (the late and great Beatles guitarist) visited Abbey Road studio with long-time Beatles producer George Martin and his son, Giles *to discover something sacred. Deep in the master tracks of “Here Comes The Sun” from 1969′s Abbey Road, Dhani stumbles upon a lost solo from his father’s ballad. It completely changes the texture of the song, not to mention how freakin’ cool it is.
It’s chilling, but doesn’t compare to the moment when George Martin turns to Dhani and says, “You’re like your father.

Paul gets back to where he once belonged
When you consider who Paul McCartney might be jealous of, the list seems rather short. Nelson Mandela? Mick Jagger? God? He doesn’t have a lot of rivals in the most-beloved, putting-smiles-on-people’s-faces-for-50-years category. So the answer’s a bit of a shock, because it turns out that the person Sir Paul is fretting over is Rod Stewart.Yes, the king of tight pants and young wives, that Rod Stewart. It seems that for years McCartney has wanted to record an album of standards, but each time he thought about it, he backed away, because you-know-who had been there first.“It’s difficult when you use old songs, like Cheek to Cheek or The Way You Look Tonight,” said McCartney, talking to reporters last week in London. “Rod Stewart’s done them all. That’s really why I didn’t do the album – I though, Rod’s already done all the songs!”
