The group had Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as members. This song was written by George, and he got his friend Eric Clapton to play Guitar on it. Unfortunately, the Beatles is another group like the Eagles who are very protective of their music, and tend to get it taken down as soon as they notice it.

The Beatles lost legal rights over most of their repertoire and copyright strikes usually comes from those holding the commercial rights on the other end. The song "Hey Jude" is one of the few McCartney bought back the rights for and doesn't get strikes even on lyrics videos. "Here comes the sun" was bought by either Michael Jackson or Warner Music and always gets striken because it is frfequently licensed for TV commercials. The worst in all of this is that most of the time, the bad reputation still falls back on the artists because streaming services don't tell the public in general wwho called for the strike =(

I guess that I was born too early and have lived too long. I don't think that I have ever heard anyone ask the question "Was Paul McCartney in the Beatles?" And, yes, the Beatles were from England. The Beatles were the most influential band in the world. The Beatles consisted of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They were formed in Liverpool, England and their music spread throughout the world throughout the 1960s. At almost any time during that decade, you would find Beatles songs on the Top Ten Playlist of every country in the Western World. This particular song was written by George Harrison and was one of his most beautiful productions. The band's good friend, Eric Clapton played the lead guitar on the studio version of the song. The reason that Paul looks so much younger in this video was because it was from over 50 years ago. We all change with age. But Paul and Ringo still tour and have great solo careers.

John Lennon was murdered in 1980 and George Harrison died from lung cancer in 2001. i'm not surprised the songs get blocked. you couldn't even find them on KZbin until a few years ago because of copyrights, and we are talking about they broke up in 1970 having been active for only 10 years. they are true music icons.

That is probably the reason they get blocked so much: they are still that popular. I've been a fan since I was 5 years old (55 now) and my brother would let me pick songs to play on his records.

George Harrison wrote this song, Paul McCartney & John Lennon sharing their writing credits, Harrison didn't get into writing songs until a few years into The Beatles rise to fame, some of his early songs are "Don't Bother Me" & "Taxman" but later "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" & "Something" became his best & most popular songs. After the breakup of the band, he released a 3 LP solo album entitled "All Things Must Pass" which included a number of songs he had previously written while in The Beatles, but either didn't make the cut or were never considered. Some of my favorites are "My Sweet Lord" "What Is Life" & "Isn't It A Pity" & the album title track "All Things Must Pass" which he pitched to the band in a scene in the Disney+ "Get Back" documentary. Also, he covered a song called "Got My Mind Set On You" which became a hit in the late 80's which peaked at #1 on Billboard's Top 100.

About the strikes: The Beatles lost commercial rights over their recordings a few decades ago, with many going to auction. Some legal right's holders allow for more derivative works than others. Paul McCartney bought back rights for "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be", for instance. While songs likke "Here comes the sun" ended up in the hands of music record labels who put it to use on TV commercials and strike down KZbin videos. All that aside, if you want a pair of original and adapted version of a Beatles song, try "With a Little Help From My Friends". The original version from the Beatles is kind of room temperature for their top hits, but we are talking about a band with over 300 songs after all. And the adapted version from Joe Cocker is just sso different in arrangements and execution that just calling it a cover doesn't make it justice. One of the few times I liked another version almost as much as the original =)

The Beatles'' company Apple Corps owns all of the Beatles' recordings. The song publishing was with Dick James/Northern Songs until Dick sold the rights, around the time the Beatles were splitting up. The publishing was later purchased by Michael Jackson and is now owned by Sony. Paul owns the publishing for only two Beatle songs, Love Me Do and PS I Love You. These were the songs recorded before they signed with Dick James. George left Northern Songs right around the time While My Guitar was recorded, so he owns this song and later songs. Of course Paul still gets paid royalties from Sony for his songs.

@@RS-ni3lj Details are a little hard to find. Wiki says "McCartney and Sony agreed to a confidential settlement in June 2017". You'd think that meant McCartney owned them now, wouldn't you? Except when you look at the Let it Be release in 2021 where it says "All tracks written by Lennon-McCartney and published by Sony Tunes ASCAP. All songs administered by Sony Music LLC except (the Harrison tracks)". So you tell me.

“Excuse me. I come from the world of hip-hop.” - I’m gonna say that, without The Beatles, hip-hop (and damn-near all other music since ‘70) doesn’t exist in the same way.

Yes, Paul McCartney was in The Beatles. He was replaced by the lookalike-musician we have today in September 1966 though.

An interesting note about the song is that Eric Clapton actually recorded the lead guitar and that was overdubbed onto the Beatles recording. While collaborating with the Beatles, Clapton fell in love with Pattie Boyd, who was George Harrison's wife at the time. George Harrison was the primary writer on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. After falling for Boyd, Clapton wrote Layla, inspired by Boyd. Boyd eventually left Harrison and later married Clapton.

How could you possibly believe that the freaking Beatles were covering a Prince song???😅😅😅 And why would you believe that Prince wrote it???? (Especially since he was 10 years old when George Harrison wrote it!!) Here's a clue, according to Prince, there would be no Prince without the Beatles.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is on the Beatles double White album, not Abbey Road. Year of release 1968. I was 18 years old. It is so interesting to hear young people react to the music I grew up with. The Beatles caused worldwide cultural revolution. It was an amazing time musically. Most music of the 1960s was frankly pure drivel. Back then I was an aspiring art student/hippie lol. There are very few musicians from that era to make such a worldwide impact. Good job sir.

Yeah, whoever holds the rights to the Beatles doesn't fark around. The Beatles are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr(Richard Starkey). Worth checking out, even if you can't do it on the channel, at least everything from the Rubber Soul album onwards. They were the first band to get so big that they could pretty much do whatever they wanted, and they put out some of the best music possible after that over just 4 years time before they imploded. McCartney would go on to found a new band, Wings, which was quite successful. George Harrison was also successful afterwards. Lennon would be successful up until he was assassinated by a crazy fan in New York a decade later. And Ringo was successful too I suppose, but he was always the most boring of the four. Coming from the world of hip hop is also no excuse not to be exposed to the Beatles, probably over half the hip hop artists list them as an influence, everyone from the Wu Tang Clan to Kanye to the Beastie Boys to The Roots. George Harrison, who wrote this song, was big into Hinduism and Yoga and I Ching and all that, and got the rest of them involved too, and started the whole new age Guru/Chakra/Yoga/etc. craze of the 60s and onwards.
