Rick Beato is right to rant about music copyright ...
They got George Harrison for a different song that had a similar melody. Don’t think it was identical, though would have to investigate.

Harrison's song was "My Sweet Lord", the song allegedly infringed was "He's So Fine" by some girl group in the 1950s or 1960s. It shouldn't be hard to hear either one. My recollection is that the songs did some pretty much alike.

The group is The Chiffons and according to John Lennon, Harrison “walked right into it — he knew what he was doing.”

The melody, not the song lyrics.
