"Horse to the Water" is a song written by George Harrison and his son Dhani. It was originally performed by Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, featuring Harrison, on the album Small World, Big Band[1] Recorded on 2 October 2001,[1] the song is Harrison's last performance on a record.[citation needed] Harrison only performed vocals on the track, as he was too weak from battling cancer to play guitar,[citation needed] and he died just over eight weeks later on 29 November. He listed the song's publisher as "R.I.P. Music Ltd" instead of his usual music company Harrisongs.[citation needed] (In the liner notes of some versions of the CD, the credit is "Umlaut Corporation.")[1]
