The Heart Gently Weeps
2007 single by Wu-Tang Clan
"The Heart Gently Weeps " is the first single from the 2007 album 8 Diagrams by the Wu-Tang Clan . The song interpolates the Beatles ' song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps ". It features guest appearances from three other musicians: R&B singer Erykah Badu sings the song's chorus; Dhani Harrison , son of Beatle lead guitarist and vocalist George , plays acoustic guitar; and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is featured on lead guitar. This song was made using a cover version of the George Harrison song played by the blues guitarist Jimmy Ponder.
Out of respect for George Harrison, RZA , who produced this song, asked Dhani to play rhythm guitar. It was played using a mint condition Gretsch guitar from 1961 which was given to RZA as a gift from Russell Crowe after they had finished filming American Gangster .
The song was #50 on Rolling Stone ' s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[1]
