Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of some group apparently performing a cover of The Beatles song "Here Comes The Sun" as a video tribute.

""HERE COMES THE SUN"
"I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'"
This 1969 interview with George Harrison by David Wigg explains in detail his experience as a songwriter for The Beatles. Apart from the song “Cry For A Shadow,” which was an instrumental that the early Beatles recorded in Hamburg, Germany in June of 1961 and credited as a “Lennon / Harrison” composition, George's first official contribution to The Beatles catalog was “Don't Bother Me,” released in Britain on the November 1969 album “With The Beatles.” It was certainly worthy to be included among the “Lennon / McCartney” numbers on that album, as well as the groundbreaking “Meet The Beatles!” album in the U.S., but much growth and maturity was soon to appear in his compositions as the years progressed.
George continues: “It's by writing them, the same as writing books or writing articles or painting, the more you do it the better, or the more you can understand how to do it. I used to just write songs – I still do – I just write a song and it just comes out however it wants to. And some of them are catchy songs, like 'Here Comes The Sun,' and some of them aren't, but to me there's just songs and I just write them. And some will be considered as good by, maybe, the masses, and some won't, but to me they're just songs; things that are there that have to be got out.”
Of the twenty-three George Harrison songs that The Beatles officially released, “the masses” gradually began to respect them more and more, the simple reason being that 'practice makes perfect.' Some songs that he introduced to the group, such as “You Know What To Do,” “Not Guilty,” “All Things Must Pass” and “Hear Me Lord,” got passed over by the other Beatles and were never released, some not considered for even a moment as being good enough. George, however, persisted and improved in his songwriting skill. The last song he ever offered for the group to record, the above mentioned masterpiece “Here Comes The Sun,” reveals a successful solo recording artist in the making."

Here Comes the Sun written by George Harrison
lyrics
"Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
It's all right"

I am taken a back by the level at which you have been responding to my music posts, LTC Stephen F. !!!
Hardly anyone takes the time or effort to write with thought, interest, & depth! Regarding my post, it was a cover, but I liked the overall package well enough to post it... I am hubled by your wonderful responses, Stephen!
