The story behind
The Beatles recorded "For You Blue" in 1969, as part of a project initially called "Get Back". The song was born as "George's Blues (Because You're Sweet and Lovely)" and was recorded in January of that year. Later, the title was changed and it became "For You Blue" for the release of the album Let It Be.
The song was released as a single in May 1970, accompanied by "The Long and Winding Road". Both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. John Lennon plays a lap steel guitar, something rare in his style, and can be seen in a scene from the documentary Let It Be. George Harrison also contributes with comments during the track, such as "Go, Johnny, go" and a phrase that seems to refer to another musician. The song has a touch of country blues, something that is noticeable in its structure and in the sound of the guitars.
