BACK TO BACK BALEARICS

Two classic versions of The Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun, written by George Harrison while wandering round Eric Clapton’s back garden, according to Wikipedia.
Hear Nina Simone’s lovely take from the album Here Comes The Sun (1971) and a live take from Richie Havens. Now I have to track down the Peter Tosh version.
