Liverpool, England (1970 – 2001)
George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) born in Liverpool, England, was an English rock musician, singer-songwriter and film producer who achieved international fame as lead guitarist in The Beatles, along with mainstream success as a solo artist. Sidelined by the overwhelming songwriting talents of his Beatles band mates, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Harrison, with his distinctive, eastern-oriented style of music, never felt he was able to fully express himself as a member of the band. As tensions within the band heightened towards the end of the 1960s, Harrison began to work on his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass. The album, released in 1970, contains the two-time number one hit, My Sweet Lord.
Harrison is also credited for creating music benefits, notably the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. Harrison played beside Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, and Leon Russell to a crowd of 40,000 in Madison Square Garden, New York. The show raised over $240,000 benefiting the George Harrison Fund for Bangladesh relief.
Harrison went on to release several successful solo albums, and in the late 1980s collaborated with Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbinson, and Tom Petty, in a group called Traveling Wilburys. The group released two albums.
Harrison died on November 29, 2001 after a battle with cancer. His last album, Brainwashed, was released posthumously and featured the single Any Road.

All things Must Pass is amazing. It almost makes me cry to listen to it! :( And I think George was the Beatle who really wanted to make music, not just have screaming fans around him. Of course Ringo(my fav!) was the peppy one, Paul was the loveboat, John was the peace-lover, but George was the contemplative, most intellectual one. Luv, ya George!
