Got my Mind Set on You - George Harrison

This was one of my favorite songs as a kid, and frankly it still is. The music composition is awesome, even the inclusion of things like claps, with a great driving drum beat. Harrison is fantastic as usual, and really delivers with the vocals. Growing up this was kind of mine and my moms song, so it holds a fairly special place. This song is originally written by Rudy Clark and was originally recorded by James Ray way back in the 60's, but is most known for George's version released in 87 when I was born. The dance scene is also hilarious awesome, although very obviously not Harrison. This was the last #1 single to be released by Harrison and gave him the 2nd most #1 singles as a solo act with 3 (McCartney led the pack with 9).

You can also check out the original right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuqGm6FwZgY and it is definitely worth checking out as well.
