In 1968, right at the outset of The Beatles' venture into music as executives with their label Apple Records, a revolutionary, bold and perhaps obscene record was pressed. Its catalog number was APPLE 8, and both George Harrison and John Lennon were enthralled by "King of Fuh," the song in question, a single that ultimately wasn't distributed. The reason lay in the wordplay of the lyrics, which narrated the tale of a wonderful land called Fuh where there was a king who everyone called the Fuh King. It was all about phonetics.
Despite Harrison and Lennon (with a little help from Yoko Ono) advocating for "King of Fuh," the single couldn't take off. Read the whole story here, along with the fabulous details of a fabulous life, that of the King of Fuh, Brute Force, Mr. Stephen Friedland.
