I just got my new Rolling Stone with George Harrison on the cover. Was digging around on the internetin super fanboy mode and found this. I had never heard George sing this nor did I know he wrote it. Wow.
George helped Ringo shape (or flat out wrote) many of his early tunes (right up through the "Ringo" LP in '73). As the "economy class Beatles" they both had far less a share in songwriting royalties. Following the Beatles, this was George's way of ensuring that Ringo had future earnings.
Ten years gone this November.
