There’s a George Harrison song I would like to rediscover. All I remember about it is it has an upbeat tune, and he is accompanied by possibly several male voices with a lot of base to them. At least one of the vocalists voice had mild raspiness - very pleasant though - kind of like Louis Armstrong. Most of the base in the song was provided by the vocalists. This is all I remember, but I would love to find it. ---

I have both of the Wilbury’s albums - There’s only two right? ---

Could it be “Handle With Care” by the Traveling Wilburys? It was certainly a very upbeat song. The Wilburys consisted of Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison. Dylan and Petty both have pretty raspy voices, but I suppose Dylan’s would stand out more. Here’s the video on YouTube.

Another big Wilbury’s song was [End of the Line](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqhdRs4jyA). ---

This is all I remember, but I would love to find it. Strictly in the spirit of fighting ignorance, not trying to be rude, but when you’re referring to music, it’s spelled “bass”, not “base”. Still pronounced the same, though. 🙂 ---

Kinda random, but could it be Jeff Lynne’s “Don’t Let Go?” Many of the Wilburys did similar-sounding solo stuff in the late 80’s, and they can be easily confused. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGg5mkFPx64) ---

I did some extensive searching today and found the song I was looking for. Here is the link for everyone’s enjoyment. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckhYHwldi5g](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckhYHwldi5g).
