1. Something was written on the piano while we were making the White album. I had a break while Paul was doing some overdubbing so I went into an empty studio and began to write. That’s really all there is to it, except the middle took some time to sort out! It didn’t go on the White album because we’d already finished all the tracks. I gave it to Joe Cocker a year before I did it.

   It’s probably got a range of five notes which fits most singers’ needs best. This I suppose is my most successful song with over one hundred and fifty cover versions. My favorite version is the one by James Brown — that was excellent. When I wrote it, in my mind I heard Ray Charles singing it, and he did do it some years later. I like Smokey Robinson’s version too.
