The latest release for Knee Deep Melodies is "KDM 169 - Got My Mind Set On You" based on the No. 1 hit by George Harrison. The song was written and composed by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. The first time George Harrison heard the song was during a visit to his sister in the United States in 1963—five months before the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. It became the last US No. 1 hit in the US by any former Beatle.
This release includes both a mono and a stereo instrumental track, each featuring the signature saxophone leads as in Harrison’s version. We also supply two vocal tracks, the first is BASIC, and the other is “high energy” MAINSTREAM, having no promenade in the figures. Cue sheets are provided for both.
