To add to this list of sitar trax (in addition to the afore mentioned
Beatles) would be the Rolling Stones and their # 1 hit "Paint it Black."
Also, several years before he produced "Norwegian Wood", George Martin
produced a track for a Peter Sellers Lp which featured a sitar on it. Can't
remember the song's name, does anyone else? And the Byrds had several songs
which featured sitar-like breaks, notably "Why?" (the single version) and
"What's Happpening?!?"
