One Beatles recording has it, 'For You Blue' from 1970. Harrison wrote and sang it, and it was cut 25 January 1969. It came out on the Let It Be album, 8 May 1970. It comes eleventh of the album's twelve tracks, it was a US number one, and America got it as a single of its own on 11 May 1970. Blüthner grand piano is on it too, on four of their recordings in all.
