Featuring George Harrison on lead vocals, the song was actually written by John Lennon, inspired by a melody from the 1937 Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that his mother used to sing to him. The B-side, "Thank You Girl," was originally titled "Thank You, Little Girl" and was recorded during the With The Beatles sessions. These Vee-Jay releases are legendary among collectors as they represent the brief period when a small Chicago R&B label held the keys to the biggest band in the world. ๐ CONDITION vinyl: excellent (EX) sleeve: excellent (EX) ๐งพ NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This specific copy is an authentic American Record Pressing Co.
