He also mentioned in the statement “George seemed to draw interesting musicians, comedians, and personalities into his world, and that spirit felt like it was happening around us throughout the shoot.”
The original song ‘My Sweet Lord’, finally appeared in the 1970s solo album of George Harrison ‘All Things Must Pass’, and became the no1 hit album in the United States and the United Kingdom.
