‘Hong Kong Blues’ is the ninth and penultimate song on George Harrison’s ninth solo album Somewhere In England. See more…

As for Hoagy Carmichael, I’ve been nuts for him since I was a kid. I cut his ‘Hong Kong Blues’ on Somewhere In England , and there’s still a few more of his I wouldn’t mind doing, like ‘Old Rocking Chair’. Maybe one day – not just yet, but one day when I get a bit older – me and Eric [Clapton] can sing ‘Old rocking chair has got me…’

Here’s a version by Hoagy Carmichael. I have to say, I prefer his recordings to Harrison’s.

Based on the gong at the beginning, I suspect this is the version Harrison based his version on:
