Peter Frampton is a rock star who was part of the bands The Herd and Humble Pie. He also had a number of solo hits, including “Do You Feel Like We Do,” “Baby, I Love Your Way,” “Show Me the Way,” and “I’m in You.” In a 2022 Loudersound interview, Frampton recalled what it was like getting to work with George Harrison and company.
“It was: ‘Nice to meet you, man … Do you want to play?’ I said: ‘You mean now?’
“They’d just finished writing this song for Doris Troy, called ‘Ain’t That Cute,'” he recalled. “So he gave me ‘Lucy,’ that red Les Paul that he used on a lot of later records, and the one Eric played on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps.'” “Ain’t That Cute” appeared on Troy’s self-titled album, which was released through The Beatles’ Apple Records.
Peter Frampton revealed what it was like playing on “Ain’t That Cute.” “I plugged in, and I can’t take my eyes off George, because I want to get this right,” he said. “Then I glanced to my right and there’s Stephen Stills sitting there. What?!” It must have been incredible to perform with two rock icons at the same time.
George displayed a lot of faith in Frampton. “George showed me the chords, and I’m playing very quiet rhythm,” he said. “He stops the tape and says: ‘No, I want you to play lead.’ Then I started to sweat a little [laughs]. But I ended up playing the lead fills and intro on this song that was a single.”
