Got My Mind Set On You

"Got My Mind Set on You" is a song written by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. It is best known for the cover version released by George Harrison (single Got My Mind Set on You, October 1987). It was included in his 1987 album Cloud Nine. Of Harrison's three number one singles in the U.S., it was the only song not written by Harrison and the only one without religious overtones. The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", written by Harrison. The 12" version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set On You".
