Beatles News: A Tribute to George Harrison by Cat Stevens and Klaus Voorman

A confirmed Beatles fact is that Yusef (aka Cat Stevens) and Klaus Voorman have issued a rendition of George Harrison's "The Day the World Gets 'Round," a song from Harrison's 1973 album Living in the Material World. The artistic cover for the issue was designed by Voorman, who designed the Revolver cover. Voorman, sometimes referred to as the fifth Beatle, also plays bass on the record. Stevens feels that the song captures Harrison's great love and happiness. The song may be downloaded from Yusef's website.

Beatles News: McCartney to Appear on New Cat Stevens CD

The interesting Beatles fact in this story is that the collaboration was allegedly inspired by post 9/11 events, including the time when Stevens was barred from entering the United States because of his religious affiliation.
