Biography

Liverpool, United Kingdom (1970 – 2001)

George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) born in Liverpool, UK, 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. George contributed to the songwriting talents of his Beatles band mates, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, firstly by adding ideas and guitar parts, and later with his distinctive style of music inspired by Eastern spirituality. Ten years after Harrison’s death, and forty-two years after its first release, his classic “Here Comes the Sun” is the number one Beatles download on iTunes.

After the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, George started writing more songs than could be fitted onto the albums so that by the time of the split he had built up a collection of songs, some used 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 Orbison, and Tom Petty, in a group called Traveling Wilburys. The group released two albums. Later, Harrison reunited with the other two surviving Beatles, after John Lennon’s murder in 1980, to produce two final Beatles records, “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” featuring the voice of Lennon, taken from home demos provided by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono.

    But all I've got is a photograph - And I realize you're not coming back anymore - I thought I'd make it the day you went away - But I can't make it, 'til you come home again to stay - I can't get used to living here - While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you - I want you here to have and hold - As the years go by and we grow old and gray - Now you're expecting me to live without you - But that's not something that I'm looking forward to - Ringo on Concert for George - very moving wasn't it ?
