      @@geoffsaplin5167 Don't forget James Taylor was only 19 when he was the first artist signed to Apple Records. George Harrison loved "Something In The Way She Moves" so much that they used that as the first line in their own song, "Something". That's pretty impressive when you've impressed The Beatles.
