Re: “Yes indeed! Nice! Thanks! You checking on how ancient some of us are like Ribs for example?”
Not exactly. Truth is, I didn't expect anyone to remember Oh Happy Day. Moreover, it isn't the Birthday Boy. My Sweet Lord is.

George Harrison was inspired by Oh Happy Day in November, 1970, and decided to create something like it. Unbeknownst to George, the end-result sounded a whole lot more like the Chiffons' He's So Fine than Oh Happy Day and he was sued by Bright Tunes, the Chiffons' publisher in a case that took over five years and left Harrison in a song-writing funk. Harrison lost the suit to the tune of $1.6 million.

In one of the more beautiful ironies I've heard, Harrison later won a lawsuit against the Beatles' former manager, Allen Klein, and was awarded Bright Tunes publishing. He re-gained the money he had paid out, obtained full rights to My Sweet Lord and acquired He's So Fine too. Sometimes things just work out, especially when you're a Beatle.
