McCartney Times

When George Harrison was working on his 11th album Cloud Nine, he decided to close it with a cover of a song he first heard nearly a quarter of a century early. Harrison’s “Got My Mind Set on You” was written by Rudy Clark and recorded and released by singer James Ray as “I’ve Got My Mind Set on You” in 1962. The song followed Ray’s previous hit “If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody” from a year earlier. Coincidentally, “If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody” had previously made it into the Beatles’ live set. John Lennon also featured it as one of his favorite songs on his 1960s jukebox, a playlist that was later released as an album in 2004.
