May 1, 2023 Record of the Day

In February of 1971 George Harrison hit the top 10 with “What Is Life.” Harrison originally wrote the song for Apple Records label-mate, Billy Preston, thinking it would be a “catchy pop song” to follow up Preston’s “That’s The Way God Planned It.” But when Harrison realized that Preston was then going for a more funky sound, he decided to record it himself. The 45, released on Apple Records, is now worth up to $100.00 with its picture sleeve.
