My Sweet Lord "formula"?[edit]

At the time and date on which I'm typing this, the article contains the text 'On "Give Me Love", Harrison blended the Hindu bhajan style (or devotional song) with Western gospel music, repeating the formula of his 1970–71 international hit "My Sweet Lord".' First off, that sentence could be better written, since in that sentence "Western" is ambiguous between "from some set of European countries" (inserted to contrast this element of the blend with "Eastern" music which would include Hindu bhajan style), and a subset of Gospel music that leans towards Country-Western music". "Western gospel" could mean either of those two things. But, worse, that entire sentence is plagiarized from the Wikipedia article on the recording by The Chiffons of "He's So Fine", which introduced this "formula of blending Hindu bhajan style and ... gospel music" to American audiences in Spring 1963. Yeah, it's a well-known "formula" alright. It's one Led Zeppelin has used a lot.2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 18:18, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson[reply]
