"All Things Must Pass" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison,
issued in November 1970 as the title track to his triple album of the same
name. Billy Preston released the song originally on his 1970 album
Encouraging Words after the Beatles had rehearsed the song in
January 1969 but did not include it on their Let It Be album.
The subject matter deals with the transient nature of human existence,
and in Harrison's All Things Must Pass reading, words and music combine
to reflect impressions of optimism against fatalism. On release, together
with Barry Feinstein's album cover image, commentators viewed
the song as a statement on the Beatles' break-up.
All Things Must Pass is the third studio album by English rock musician
George Harrison. Released as a triple album in November 1970, it was
Harrison's first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles in April
that year. All Things Must Pass was #1 on the UK's official albums
chart for eight weeks. In America, it spent seven weeks at #1 on the
Billboard Top LP's chart, from 2 January until 20 February in 1971.
