"Lady Madonna" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. In March 1968 it was released as a mono non-album single, backed with "The Inner Light". The song was recorded on 3 and 6 February 1968, before the Beatles left for India, and its boogie-woogie style signalled a more conventional approach to writing and recording for the group following the psychedelic experimentation of the previous two years.
This Girl's in Love with You is the sixteenth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on January 15, 1970 by Atlantic Records.

Songwriter Paul McCartney sent Franklin and Atlantic Records a demo of the song as a guide.

Just a Little Lovin' is a 1970 studio album by Carmen McRae directed and produced by Arif Mardin. The recording in a studio of Atlantic Records in Miami was set up with a horn section, an occasional string section and The Sweet Inspirations as backing vocals on some tracks. The studio's own Dixie Flyers, a rhythm section founded by Sammy Creason, provided the contemporary electrified sound for a repertoire that derived mainly from only recently written pop songs, three alone by the Beatles, two by the Muscle Shoal crew like "Breakfast in Bed", written in 1968 for Dusty Springfield, and a Laura Nyro original. The electrified orchestral sound is advanced twice, on "Something" with the use of a cimbalom, and with a Mellotron on "What'cha Gonna Do" that harmonizes with the strings. Slightly out of the pop vein are a straightforwardly played blues shuffle, "I Love the Life I Live" by Willie Dixon, and "Didn't We", an intimate duet with guitarist Al Gafa. There were several singles issued before and alongside the album's release, although the songs chosen for the most part didn't make it on the final album. They were reissued in 1991 as additional tracks on a Japanese digital re-release. "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" and "Just a Dream" were recorded already in September 1969 and Mardin had not thought of a horn section yet, instead the strings are emphasized.
