KOLKATA: A more-than-50-year-old song with guest appearances by Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr — seemingly lost for decades, only to be found recently during last year’s lockdown — has struck some discordant notes, with a classical musician with a strong Kolkata connect claiming credit for its lyrics.

California-based sarod maestro Aashish Khan, who is the vocalist of the song ‘Radhe Shaam’, unveiled recently at the Liverpool Beatles Museum, claimed on social media that it was he — and not journalist Suresh Joshi, as is being widely reported — who was the the original composer and lyricist of the song. Khan has warned Joshi of legal action if he fails to remove the “unfinished” track of the song.
