Set on You by Amy Lea is so funny, warmhearted, and insightful it's hard to believe it's a debut." —POPSUGAR The song was included in the Harrison compilation albums Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 (1989) and Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison (2009).

By the time George Harrison bought that James Ray record, James Ray was dead. Ray, a DC native, was a struggling teenage nightclub singer when Rudy Clark found him. Clark was an aspiring songwriter who worked as a mailman in New York, and he heard Ray singing in a small club. Clark started writing songs for Ray. One of those songs was “If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody,” Ray’s first single, and it was a hit. Clark also wrote “Got My Mind Set On You.” Soon afterwards, Ray’s label went bankrupt, and his next few singles, released on another label, flopped. In 1963, Ray died of a drug overdose at the age of 22.Breihan, Tom (April 7, 2021). "The Number Ones: George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" ". Stereogum . Retrieved January 5, 2022. Being half Mexican and half White, I could understand Crystal’s issues arising from being half white and half Asian (not the same but similar expectations of you not being white enough or not being the other half enough). However, this was not the main conclusion. I like what author said in the notes in the beginning. This isn’t about the character realizing to accept her body and learn self-love as she already knows it, she already working on it by inspiring women like her who is not size zero, advocating healthy life without measuring calories. It’s more about her journey on this self-love path and how fatphobic stereotypic comments on her platform create obstacles making her rethink the base of her body positivity campaign. And this is best part of the book.

I loved the way author represented body positivity and how it’s not just about body positivity but about self-acceptance, body respect and self-love, importance of staying focused on the journey of being healthy and strong not just focused on losing weight and measuring calories. It’s okay to feel bad and low sometimes as self-love is not a constant thing but a journey, there always will be ups and downs, and keeping loved ones and supporters close make this journey more lovely and beautiful. This brings me to the main message of the book. Self-respect and self-understanding… self-acceptance. That is the goal. Period. 1000% Two music videos were released for the single, both directed by Gary Weis. The first features Alexis Denisof trying to win the heart of a girl in an amusement arcade.

He succeeds, but the ballerina somehow drops into Harrison's performance, to the girl's amusement.

[5] Music videos [ edit ] When he recorded “Got My Mind Set On You,” George Harrison hadn’t made an album in five years, and he hadn’t had a #1 hit since “ Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)” topped the charts 15 years earlier. With 1970’s “ My Sweet Lord,” Harrison had been the first Beatle to land a #1 single. After the band had broken up, Harrison had made the landmark triple album All Things Must Pass and spearheaded the Concert For Bangladesh. But then Harrison started to lose the public. He toured with the Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar and talked a lot about spirituality, and moves like that made him an easy butt for jokes. He also had a bit of a coke problem in the mid-’70s, and like of all the Beatles, his solo records were pretty spotty. After his first few years as a solo artist, Harrison’s albums didn’t get past gold, and they didn’t make the top 10 in the US. In the UK, the single spent four weeks at number two. It was kept off the number 1 spot by T'Pau's " China in Your Hand" becoming the 5th best selling single of 1987.
