MY SWEET LORD (The Chiffons)
“My Sweet Lord” is a song by English musician and former Beatle George Harrison, released in November 1970 on his triple album All Things Must Pass. Later in the 1970’s, “My Sweet Lord” was at the center of a heavily publicized copyright infringement suit, due to its similarity to the Ronnie Mack song “He’s So Fine”, a 1963 hit for the New York girl group the Chiffons. The Chiffons’ version of the song was released as a non-album single in 1975. (More from Wikipedia)
The Chiffons released their own cover of “My Sweet Lord” in 1975 in an attempt to benefit from the controversy over the lawsuit involving the George Harrison hit song “My Sweet Lord” and their major 1963 hit “He’s So Fine”.
