George Harrison's Wife Said He Wrote a Song About Wanting to Be Closer to Bob Dylan

George Harrison‘s wife Olivia once said that George and Bob Dylan “had a soul connection.” However, it wasn’t always so. George had to coax Dylan into opening up to him and letting him in during one of the first times they hung out.

What loosened everything up and got Dylan to take down the protective walls around his heart in the otherwise awkward meeting was music, of course. And a song called “I’d Have You Anytime.”

In his 1980 memoir, I Me Mine, George wrote about the origin story of his song “I’d Have You Anytime.” He wrote it with Dylan when he visited him in America for Thanksgiving in 1968. However, it wasn’t easy getting Dylan to relax around him.

“‘I’d Have You Anytime’ was started in America, in Woodstock—I was invited there by the Band,” George explained. “It was Thanksgiving time and I’d just finished producing a Jackie Lomax album, directly after the Beatles ‘White’ album.
