You
The story behind the song
"You" was originally written by George Harrison in 1970 for Ronnie Spector, inspired by his admiration for 1960s American soul and R&B, particularly the Motown sound. It's a song that channels that classic, vibrant energy. Four years after Ronnie Spector recorded an unissued version, Harrison revisited the original backing track, adding new instrumentation and vocals to create the version released on his 1975 album Extra Texture (Read All About It). At its heart, it plays like a direct and heartfelt declaration, full of lively instrumentation.
