"It Don't Come Easy" : George Harrison

I just came across this wonderful song that is always associated with Ringo. In this version, George sings it in a great demo.

Ok, the lads kept it in the family!

I remember when Ringo's song first came out, my family was falling apart and it felt like that song was for me.

The early 70s ex-Beatles stuff (specifically referring to 1970-1972) was great and sad at the same time. I wasn't old enough back then, but these songs, for the most part, are sad. I cannot imagine the sadness the Fab Four or their fans were feeling at that time.

The exceptions after the break-up are "Instant Karma" and anything of George's wonderful "All Things Must Pass".

I moved constantly when I was growing up (GI brat) and if you mention a year I have to think about where I was....but if you mention a song, I know exactly where I was and who was around me and what was going on.....music can really evoke powerful memories
