What English musician and DJ wrote Littlest Things?
Mark Ronson
Title: Awaiting on You All
Passage: "Awaiting on You All" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album, "All Things Must Pass".  Along with the single "My Sweet Lord", it is among the more overtly religious compositions on "All Things Must Pass", and the recording typifies co-producer Phil Spector's influence on the album, due to his liberal use of reverberation and other Wall of Sound production techniques.  Harrison recorded the track in London backed by musicians such as Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Klaus Voormann, Jim Gordon and Jim Price – many of whom he had toured with, as Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, in December 1969, while still officially a member of the Beatles.  Musically, the composition reflects Harrison's embracing of the gospel music genre, following his production of fellow Apple Records artists Billy Preston and Doris Troy.
Title: All Things Must Pass
Passage: All Things Must Pass is a triple album by English musician George Harrison.  Recorded and released in 1970, the album was Harrison's first solo work since the break-up of the Beatles in April that year, and his third solo album overall.  It includes the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life", as well as songs such as "Isn't It a Pity" and the title track that had been turned down for inclusion on releases by the Beatles.  The album reflects the influence of Harrison's musical activities with artists such as Bob Dylan, the Band, Delaney & Bonnie and Billy Preston during 1968–70, and his growth as an artist beyond his supporting role to former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  "All Things Must Pass" introduced Harrison's signature sound, the slide guitar, and the spiritual themes that would be present throughout his subsequent solo work.  The original vinyl release consisted of two LPs of songs and a third disc of informal jams, titled "Apple Jam".  Several commentators interpret Barry Feinstein's album cover photo, showing Harrison surrounded by four garden gnomes, as a statement on his independence from the Beatles.
Title: Lily Allen discography
Passage: English singer and songwriter Lily Allen has released three studio albums, two extended plays, 20 singles (including six as a featured artist), two promotional singles and 21 music videos. Allen's range of musical genres incorporates styles such as pop, ska, electropop and reggae fusion.  She became well-known through her Myspace account, on which she started posting demo songs in 2005.  The increase of popularity led to a contract with Regal Recordings.  Her debut single, "Smile", was released in 2006 and topped the UK Singles Chart for two weeks.  Allen's first studio album, "Alright, Still" (2006), was released shortly after.  The album was commercially successful, earning a three times platinum certification in the United Kingdom, and gold in the United States.  The album was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 50th Grammy Awards.  Follow-up singles "LDN", "Littlest Things" and "Alfie" did not repeat her early success, although they still sold well; "LDN" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart.
Title: Hear Me Lord
Passage: "Hear Me Lord" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album "All Things Must Pass".  It appeared as the last track on side four of the original LP format and is generally viewed as the closing song on the album, disc three being the largely instrumental "Apple Jam".  Harrison wrote "Hear Me Lord" in January 1969 while still in the Beatles, but it was passed over for inclusion on what became the band's final album, "Let It Be" (1970).
Title: Littlest Things
Passage: "Littlest Things" is a song by British recording artist Lily Allen from her debut studio album, "Alright, Still".  Written by Allen, Mark Ronson and Santi White, the song was released as the third single of the album on 11 December 2006 by Regal Recordings.  It incorporates a piano sample from Pierre Bachelet and Herve Roy's music from "Emmanuelle", for which they were credited as co-writers, as the lyrics tackle the singer dealing with the departure of her boyfriend, while reminiscing about their time together.  The song was created in a New York studio, after Allen had met Ronson, who was impressed by her previous work and offered her different samples.
Title: Deep Blue (song)
Passage: "Deep Blue" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side to his 1971 charity single "Bangla Desh".  Harrison wrote the song in 1970, midway through the recording sessions for "All Things Must Pass", and recorded it in Los Angeles the following year while organising the Concert for Bangladesh.  The composition was inspired by the deteriorating condition of his mother, Louise, before she succumbed to cancer in July 1970, and by Harrison's feelings of helplessness as he visited her in hospital in the north of England.  Given the subject matter of his lyrics, "Deep Blue" also served to convey the suffering endured by the millions of refugees from war-torn Bangladesh in 1971, as sickness and disease became widespread among their makeshift camps in northern India.
Title: Run of the Mill (George Harrison song)
Passage: "Run of the Mill" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album "All Things Must Pass".  Harrison wrote the song shortly after the Beatles' troubled "Get Back" sessions in early 1969, during a period when his growth as a songwriter had inadvertently contributed to the dysfunction within the Beatles' group dynamic.  The lyrics reflect the toll that running their company Apple Corps had taken on relationships within the band, especially between Paul McCartney and the other three Beatles, as well as Harrison's dismay at John Lennon's emotional withdrawal from the band.  Commentators recognise "Run of the Mill" as one of several Harrison compositions that provide an insight into events behind the Beatles' break-up, particularly the difficulties surrounding Apple.
Title: All Things Must Pass (song)
Passage: "All Things Must Pass" is a song by English musician George Harrison, issued in November 1970 as the title track to his triple album of the same name.  Billy Preston released the song originally – as "All Things (Must) Pass" – on his Apple Records album "Encouraging Words" (1970), after the Beatles had rejected it for inclusion on their "Let It Be" album in January 1969.  The composition reflects the influence of the Band's sound and communal music-making on Harrison, after he had spent time with the group in Woodstock, New York, in late 1968, while Timothy Leary's poem "All Things Pass", a psychedelic adaptation of the Tao Te Ching, provided inspiration for his song lyrics.
Title: I Live for You
Passage: "I Live for You" is a song by English musician George Harrison originally recorded during the sessions for his "All Things Must Pass" triple album in 1970.  Long available on bootlegs, the song was finally released officially as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary reissue of "All Things Must Pass" in January 2001.  The released recording features only Harrison's lead vocal and Pete Drake's prominent pedal-steel guitar from the 1970 album sessions, with all other instruments overdubbed by Harrison and his son Dhani in 2000.  Despite the wealth of unreleased material recorded for "All Things Must Pass", it was the only new song included with the album's 2001 reissue.  Music critics recognise "I Live for You" as one of many George Harrison compositions that can be interpreted as both a traditional love song and a devotional song.
Title: Mark Ronson
Passage: Mark Daniel Ronson (born 4 September 1975) is an English musician, DJ, singer, songwriter and record producer.  Although his debut album "Here Comes the Fuzz" failed to make an impact on the charts, his second album "Version" reached number two in the UK and included three top 10 singles.  This earned him a Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist in 2008.  His third studio album, "Record Collection", was released on 27 September 2010, peaking at number two in the UK.
