Why George Harrison Saved My Day

One of my all time favorite songs played on our station today. That song was George Harrison "What Is Life".

"What Is Life" is a song by George Harrison and it was the first track on side two of his 1970 album All Things Must Pass. It was released as the second single from that album in the United States on February 15, 1971 with another album track, "Apple Scruffs," as the B-side. On March 27, "What Is Life" peaked at #10 in the Billboard Hot 100, making Harrison the first member of the Beatles to log two Top 10 solo hits on that chart.

I really like this song because every time I hear it I think of the movie Goodfellas. It’s part of one of the scenes where Henry Hill is getting chased by Helicopters. I’ve always been a big fan of Geroge Harrison so when I heard this song today, it made me smile.
