Product Information

Got My Mind Set on You" (also written as " (Got My Mind) Set on You") is a song written and composed by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962, under the title " I've Got My Mind Set on You". An edited version of the song was released later in the year as a single on Dynamic Sound Records credited to James Ray with Hutch Davie Orchestra & Chorus.

I like what author said in the notes in the beginning. This isn’t about the character realizing to accept her body and learn self-love as she already knows it, she already working on it by inspiring women like her who is not size zero, advocating healthy life without measuring calories. It’s more about her journey on this self-love path and how fatphobic stereotypic comments on her platform create obstacles making her rethink the base of her body positivity campaign. And this is best part of the book.By the time George Harrison bought that James Ray record, James Ray was dead. Ray, a DC native, was a struggling teenage nightclub singer when Rudy Clark found him. Clark was an aspiring songwriter who worked as a mailman in New York, and he heard Ray singing in a small club. Clark started writing songs for Ray. One of those songs was “If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody,” Ray’s first single, and it was a hit. Clark also wrote “Got My Mind Set On You.” Soon afterwards, Ray’s label went bankrupt, and his next few singles, released on another label, flopped. In 1963, Ray died of a drug overdose at the age of 22. Set on You is a swoony delight full of wit, charm, and Big Firefighter Energy. Lea gives romance readers everything they could possibly want in a rom-com, while deftly weaving important issues like race and body acceptance in a way that steals nothing from the entertaining ride. Authentic and full-of-heart, this book is a must-read for fans of Helen Hoang and Sally Thorne.”—Lynn Painter, author of Mr. Wrong Number

None from Silicon Valley, Caas for me, I relate this song to my son before he came to live with me. It did take time, a whole lot of precious time, patience and money, a whole lot of spending money, to get him and live with me in the US. And, I had my mind set on him and I did it right. This was my song to him. a b "George Harrison - "Got my mind set on you [version 2: chair]" ". mvdbase.com. Archived from the original on October 7, 2012 . Retrieved April 23, 2009. Beatles manager Brian Epstein owned record stores, which meant that the Beatles got to hear every record that came out in the UK. They covered a lot of them. In their live shows, the Beatles had been covering “ If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody,” a 1962 single from the American R&B singer James Ray. That song had been James Ray’s only real hit in the US, where it peaked at #22. The song also caught on in England; past Number Ones artist Freddie And The Dreamers later covered it and turned it into a top-five hit in the UK.

I don’t think confidence and self-worth is something you magically attain. And you don’t simply hold onto it forever like a tangible object. It’s fluid. You can be confident in every aspect except one. Or something could happen and all your confidence can be shattered in an instant. Being half Mexican and half White, I could understand Crystal’s issues arising from being half white and half Asian (not the same but similar expectations of you not being white enough or not being the other half enough). However, this was not the main conclusion. Hi, I'm Yesha, an Indian book blogger. Avid and eclectic reader who loves to read with a cup of tea.

Lea debuts with a heartwarming rom-com centered on body positivity…Lea’s prose is clear, witty, and powerful, delivering an ode to all those who struggle with self-acceptance…Lea is a writer to watch.”—Publishers WeeklyHarrison's version of the song was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic on his 1988 album Even Worse, as "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" poking fun at the repetitive nature of the lyrics. I no longer use terms like ‘body positivity’ and ‘self-love’. Instead, I now use ‘body respect’ and ‘self-acceptance’. Why? Because loving yourself all the time is unrealistic. We all have days where we doubt ourselves. And that’s when we need to focus on acceptance and respect for ourselves, not hate or love. I can love my body, and still have moments of doubt without feeling guilty about it. The song is more than a little cheesy. The chorus is just the same phrase repeated a bunch of times. The second verse is same as the first. There’s a bit of faux cheeriness in the horn stabs, and there’s a bit of forced nostalgia in the squawking sax solo. Still, the song works, at least in part, by weaponizing whatever fond feelings you might have toward George Harrison. The man is having fun, and it’s good to hear him having fun. This brings me to the main message of the book. Self-respect and self-understanding… self-acceptance. That is the goal. Period. 1000%
