George Harrison sang a song for his first wife, written by Bob Dylan in 1970 straight after the Beatles break, on his solo All Things Must Pass. "If Not For You If not for you. Babe, I couldn't even find the door. I couldn't even see the floor. I'd be sad and blue, if not for you", Bob wrote and sang many of his works, however remembered through other folks singing the numbers over the years.

A shocker for many is Bob Dylan wrote "All Along the Watchtower" most probably only remembered played by Jimi Hendrix, taking one down the road where an artists tweaked performance, got permission and so the show had begun, so many songs written always check who was behind the tune initially.

Affords time to reflect over the many massive events similar to Woodstock in August 1969 where many performed, how many were singing a Dylan tune?

No matter who did the number on the day, original written words and ideas came from incredible lyricist...., "Knocking on Heavens Door", "Things Have Changed", "Blowin' in the Wind", "Visions of Johanna", "Chimes of Freedom", "It Ain't Me Babe", "Just Like a Woman", gets you thinking and tapping to a major figure in popular culture over his 60 year career.
