All Those Years Ago
"All Those Years Ago" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as a single from his 1981 album ''Somewhere in England''. Having previously recorded the music for the song, Harrison tailored the lyrics to serve as a personal tribute to his former Beatles bandmate John Lennon, following the latter's murder on 8 December 1980. The recording also includes performances by ex-Beatles Ringo Starr, on drums, and Paul McCartney, who overdubbed backing vocals onto the basic track. Released in May 1981, the single spent three weeks at number 2 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. In addition, it topped Canada's ''RPM'' singles chart and spent one week at number 1 on ''Billboard''s Adult Contemporary listings.〔''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 6th Edition, 1996〕
"All Those Years Ago" was the first time that Harrison, McCartney and Starr had appeared on the same recording since the Beatles' "I Me Mine" in 1970, and the last time they would appear together until "Free As a Bird", in 1995. Other musicians performing on the track include Al Kooper and Ray Cooper. The song has appeared on the Harrison compilations ''Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989'' and ''Let It Roll'', and a live version recorded in 1991 with Eric Clapton was included on Harrison's ''Live in Japan'' double album. In 2010, AOL Radio listeners voted "All Those Years Ago" in sixth place on a list of the "10 Best George Harrison Songs". The track has been featured in books such as ''1,001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die, and 10,001 You Must Download'' by Robert Dimery, and Bruce Pollock's ''The 7,500 Most Important Songs of 1944–2000''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Harrison 'All Those Years Ago' )〕
==Origins==
Prior to Lennon's death, Harrison originally wrote the song with different lyrics for Ringo Starr to record. Although he recorded it, Starr felt the vocal was too high for his range and he did not like the words. Harrison took the track back and, after Lennon's death, the lyrics were changed to reflect a tribute to Harrison's lost friend and colleague, John Lennon. In the song, Harrison makes reference to the Beatles song "All You Need Is Love" and the Lennon song "Imagine" ("you were the one who ''imagined'' it all").
