Norah Jones caps Conan's great George Harrison Week with 'Behind That Locked Door'
This week was George Harrison Week on Conan, and Norah Jones performed the final song of the series, Harrison's "Behind That Locked Door," from All Things Must Pass. Earlier in the week saw performances from Beck, Paul Simon, and Wednesday night, Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison. Like Simon and Dhani Harrison, Norah Jones has a connection to the late former Beatle — her father, Ravi Shankar, was a musical mentor to Harrison.
Her version of "Behind That Locked Door" sounds pretty much like you'd expect, Norah Jones singing a George Harrison song, and her band is great. You can watch Dhani Harrison sing his father's "Let It Down" here. --Peter Weber
