I think he's criminally underrated as a harmony singer in the Beatles. He got the most difficult parts, and he blended so well it's often hard to pick out his voice. All while playing lead guitar.
He did .I also believe he was the most humble, .. also had a great sense of humour . His songwriting was class, as was his musicianship. Great bloke 👏🏼
As far as the music I like George was by far the best of all the Beatles, Love all of his solo work, Paul's is great too but he can be to PoP for me at times, I like most of John's solo stuff and Ringo had a lot of great tunes also.
George, legendary musician, artist, revolutionary guitarist, lyricist, vocalist, producer, performer, writer, composer, influencer, husband, father, friend to all of us and so much more....and a Beatle as well
Hard to think of a song that sounds more effortless. You'd swear George didn't even write it, he just poured it gracefully out of a vintage wine bottle.
No doubt, George had some absolutely incredible songs. Paul is and will always be good for a love song, Ringo is always a good time and John was always good for a song that makes you think...but George was all over the place with spiritual and introspective songs. He was always searching for a higher meaning to everything and I can relate to that.
George Harrison was all about Peace and Harmony. What a brilliant singer songwriter. GOD Bless you George and thank you for making my teen years so bright and wonderful, with your songs. R.I. P. George
@@armadillotoe I agreed with your comment, yet I love both of their solo catalogues (PM paricularily) but they certainly did carve off some of the more too bitter and the too sweet pieces when they worked togther
That’s longtime Beatle collaborator Klaus Voorman on bass, Rolling Stones sideman Nicky Hopkins on piano, synth pioneer Gary Wright on organ, and session drummer extraordinaire Jim Keltner on drums. Not a bad band.
Wow thanks. I was just listening (really!) to some Gary Wright. A channel I subscribe to posted an extended version of a song of his that apparently only got playtime in some places, and I had never heard it. And that song wasn't nearly as good as his hits, which I also played for myself 2 days ago. I like "Love is Alive."
Keltner plays this like no one else can. Not from a tech place, but from a personal, intuitive, receptive place. He “co-wrote/produced” from the drum chair. It’s a different song without him.
I cannot WAIT to see you gentlemen hit "What Is Life" -- killer guitars from both George and Eric Clapton, great horns produced by Phil Spector, and one of George's catchiest, upbeat melodies and lyrics ever. Easily my favorite George track, and I know you'll love it, both on its own and in context of the entire album. Can. Not. Wait.
Yes! You and the 45 likes just made my day. It’s a deeper cut by him for sure without the notoriety of his other big hits. It just sits in the shadows waiting to be discovered.
George Harrison's solo career is a DEEP rabbit hole. All of his songs are easy on the ears. Some are pure greatness. He's not only my favorite musician of all time... he's also one of my favorite people of all time.
A&A, you’ll love his “What Is Life”, "Got My Mind Set on You" and “My Sweet Lord”!! He wrote and recorded the song "Bangla Desh", which became pop music's first charity single in July 1971. He organized the Concert for Bangladesh which raised millions of $s through album & film sales. The George Harrison Humanitarian Fund for UNICEF, a joint effort btw the Harrison family and the US Fund for UNICEF, supports programs that help children caught in humanitarian emergencies
Glad you checked out this song. Of course "what is life" and "my sweet lord" are his biggest song. Also his 80s comeback song 'I got my mind set on you".
Every song on "All Things Must Pass" is fantastic. It is the strongest solo album by any Beatles member. That said -- and this brings me no joy to say -- the strength of the songs rises above the awful noise that Phil Spector created. I so wish there were a "Naked" version of this album that stripped away all those awful horns and dozens a guitar and percussion overdubs.
Joanna - I love the song and have been listening to it since it came out almost 50 years ago. But I never understood that one line: "Keep me free from birth". What does it mean..? I rhymes nicely with "earth"... but it never made sense to me. ("keep me free from birth") Give me love Give me love Give me peace on earth Give me light Give me life Keep me free from birth
@@aBeatleFan4ever George was very interested in Hinduism, which believes that people are born again and again (reincarnated) until they achieve spiritual enlightenment, leading to “freedom from birth.” Another interpretation is that he’s saying “keep me free (liberated) starting from the moment I’m born.”
@@aBeatleFan4ever it means to keep oneself from reincarnation. In other words, once a soul has advanced to a high spiritual level, being born on earth is no longer necessary.
George was always my favorite Beatle. If you've ever seen a chord chart of the songs he wrote, you would understand his genius in chord structure. Of all the Beatles' songs, George's were the most difficult to play.
@@lisasmithline1386 It must be said. Lennon McCartney were the ATM for an entire industry. They were an incredibly rare reliable hit machine. They were aware of that, because they were under i nhuman pressure from the stuffiest suits in the business to crank out more hits. George wrote beautiful songs but he did not write hits until the end. I think it's a bit unfair to lay all the blame on Paul and John. In their early 20s, they were supporting an industry with the songwriting. Their songs paid for George's sumptuous lifestyle for years.
@@loosilu , I don't care about "hits"; I care about good music, and George was writing great songs right along with the guys that you clearly consider his superiors.
Also, guys, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you watch the concert film "concert for George", made shortly after his death, where Clapton, petty, Lynne, McCartney, and many others put on a huge concert playing his songs. It is my favorite concert film I've ever seen and I've seen them all. Just really high quality and a very spiritual essence and vibe to it.
Couldn't possibly agree more. I watch that DVD at least once a year. Tears every time... SO many top shelf artists shelve their egos to tribute a true genius.
George Harrison finally got his chance to display his talent as a songwriter when he stepped off the shadow of Lennon/McCartney. In my opinion, his solo releases are as good as or even better than John and Paul's solo works.
George was always the more spiritual and grounded Beatle and it shows. He was overshadowed by John and Paul when it came to writing songs. So much so that his debut was a triple album made up of songs he didn't use as a Beatle. All Things Must Pass, Frankie Crisp,When We Was Fab and What is Life are good songs and worth a look or listen.
My favorite Beatle since I first saw them on Ed Sullivan in 1964 , 4th grader at the time. He was so under appreciated by John, Paul & George Martin... Ringo was always there for George, thanks to him for that! RIP George, we miss you!!!
Love this song! Don't miss out on "Isn't It a Pity" as well as "What is Life" and "All Things Must Pass". They're all social commentaries of a kind, coming from a spiritual place.
@@ontheroad5317 I always thought it was about his whole situation at the time. His marriage was falling apart, the Beatles were all but done and for someone who had spent as long as he had with the same people (bandmates and his wife) it would put him in a the proper mindset to write a song like that.
You can feel the spirit in all of George’s music. Such a spirit in everything he did. It ALWAYS makes me feel the higher power. If you are looking for a deep cut, try “be here now” from the same album.
George became my favorite Beatle when I found out he wrote "Happy just to Dance with You". He also had a song in his solo career ""When we were Fab" about the Beatles being the Fab4. Worth checking out.🎵❤️🎶
George didn’t actually write “I’m Happy Just to Dance With You”. That’s a Lennon-McCartney composition mainly written by John. George sings the song as John wanted him to have a part in a song from the Hard Day’s Night movie and album. At that point George didn’t write many songs. He didn’t start becoming more prolific a writer until the Help! movie and album.
@@NYBredBamaFed You're right!! I should have checked. We were teenagers we just assumed since George sang it that he wrote it. I stand corrected ☮️☮️🎼 But it was still the moment he became my favorite.
George was always an under rated slide guitarist. Just listen to this tasty playing, tone and melody. It's perfect. Thanks for checking out this song and enjoy more to come.....I hope!
There’s that one scene in the Getback documentary where George says “hey I’ve got a bit of a backlog of songs why don’t I release some of this on my own?” If the whole band had heard that suggestion and agreed to it, maybe the Beatles would’ve stayed together? A big part of the tension was George not getting his songs heard. Let him go off and do a solo album, then come back to the band. That approach came later with PhIl Collins and Genesis in the 70s/80s.
This, "What is life" and "My Sweet Lord" are like George Harrison 101. The Beatles "Here comes the Sun" too, really, George wrote it. You guys need to do a deep dive on the Beatles anyway. I would suggest starting with this. It's long, basically most of the B side of Abbey Road, but it gives a great example of the Beatles creativity and song writing styles, plus musical ability. ua-cam.com/video/a4Ujexj9YGs/v-deo.html
I am reading these comments on the 50th anniversary of the song's release. I have been a Beatles fan all of my life and George was always my favorite. When he passed I was devastated and for years I cried every time I heard any of his songs, whenever I saw pictures or video and just thinking about him. It was indeed unfair that the world should lose a genuinely admirable man.
Transported back to being five years old on a school bus, the smells of the plastic seats in the sun, the bus driver's transistor radio playing this song as he drove us to summer camp. 😊😊
Beware of Darkness is a prime example on George Harrison achieving something rare and profound with unexpected key changes and tonal shifts almost gone in today’s songwriting. A must.
I think he also blossomed as a songwriter toward the end of the Beatles. I think it was the label that was cool on George. His bandmates give him high praise and have said his songs are the best ones Abbey Road. He was the youngest as well, so his songwriting skills blossomed later. In any case, what an astonishingly good collection of songwriters and singers in that band.
George Harrison was my favorite ex Beatles in the early 70s. All Things Must Pass is one of the all time greats! Do yourself a favor and hit the whole album!!
The George Harrison song I'm hooked on right now is Wah-Wah. Simplistic lyrics, but a driving beat with layered, complex instrumentation.
Mr. Harrison has become my fav solo Beatle over the years. Such a great songwriter and musician.
The fragility in Harrison's voice is expressive and beautiful.
I was just thinking that when I saw your comment😅
What a perfect description of his voice!
I think he's criminally underrated as a harmony singer in the Beatles. He got the most difficult parts, and he blended so well it's often hard to pick out his voice. All while playing lead guitar.
It saddens me that he left us so suddenly, but to our good fortune he left us his special music. All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece.
so truly divine....honestly...exquisite
George Harrison’s spirituality came though every song he wrote.
*through
He was a beautiful soul 💜
@@Fuphyter Yes! He is missed.
Very much so.
Except Piggies, which sounds a little spiteful.
George shined after the Beatles. He wrote so many great songs during his solo career.
He did .I also believe he was the most humble, .. also had a great sense of humour . His songwriting was class, as was his musicianship. Great bloke 👏🏼
As far as the music I like George was by far the best of all the Beatles, Love all of his solo work, Paul's is great too but he can be to PoP for me at times, I like most of John's solo stuff and Ringo had a lot of great tunes also.
I saw an interview with George where he said his biggest break was the Beatles making it, and his second biggest break was the Beatles breaking up.
George, legendary musician, artist, revolutionary guitarist, lyricist, vocalist, producer, performer, writer, composer, influencer, husband, father, friend to all of us and so much more....and a Beatle as well
Hard to think of a song that sounds more effortless. You'd swear George didn't even write it, he just poured it gracefully out of a vintage wine bottle.
The guitar sings beautifully, emulating heaven and so does he. What a fine soul Geroge was - is.
Out of the four Beatles solo careers George Harrison's songs are by far my favorites.
No doubt, George had some absolutely incredible songs. Paul is and will always be good for a love song, Ringo is always a good time and John was always good for a song that makes you think...but George was all over the place with spiritual and introspective songs. He was always searching for a higher meaning to everything and I can relate to that.
Without Paul and John, George would never have had a solo career. And he would not have become the creator he turned out to be.
One word: LOVE! R.I.P. beautiful soul! 🤘❤️
George Harrison was all about Peace and Harmony. What a brilliant singer songwriter. GOD Bless you George and thank you for making my teen years so bright and wonderful, with your songs. R.I. P. George
This song is George Harrison thru and thru. A beautiful heart, a beautiful gift, a caring presence on the troubled blue earth.
George was a deeply spiritual person and that added something extra to his solo work that not even Lennon matched.
Agreed 🌺
Not big on Lennon’s solo stuff, however George and Paul are great.
@@James-lk2sg It is a generalization but John and Paul benefited greatly by tempering each other's tendencies.
@@armadillotoe I agreed with your comment, yet I love both of their solo catalogues (PM paricularily) but they certainly did carve off some of the more too bitter and the too sweet pieces when they worked togther
@@James-lk2sg yeah, pop culture reqlly elevated him, but musically George & Paul had "it"
One of my favorite George Harrison tunes!! 🙂
This song is a prayer that makes me weep.
This has quickly become my favorite George Harrison song
Amazing songwriter/musician
Don’t forget George wrote “Something”. One of my favourite Beatles songs.
Totally beautiful song that many greats including Sinatra have sung
I don't know if you are on Patreon, but they did a full album reaction of Abbey Road.
Here Comes The Sun ranks up with any of the Lennon/McCartney songs.
My Sweet Lord, What is Life,Blow Away
That’s longtime Beatle collaborator Klaus Voorman on bass, Rolling Stones sideman Nicky Hopkins on piano, synth pioneer Gary Wright on organ, and session drummer extraordinaire Jim Keltner on drums. Not a bad band.

"What is Life?" truly is a masterpiece.
Great song.
Me. Either.
All things must pass is as good as anything the Beatles ever did together. And what is life is one of the best songs off the album.
My favorite song by him. Love George Harrison. My favorite Beatle
"Blow Away" is my favorite George Harrison single.
Yes! "Blow Away" and "Crackerbox Palace" are both great tracks from George.
Love that one and "Cheer Down". The deeper cuts.
Yes! It's also one of my favorite tracks.

So many great George Harrison songs
I’m pretty sure my favorite George/Beatles song is “Something”. Everything from vocals, bass, and production is S tier.
No doubt. That is some seriously awesome bass on that track.
Did you know that George/The Beatles 'borrowed' the first line of the song from James Taylor's "Something In The Way She Moves"?
Agreed. It's my favourite love song.
YES. AND 'WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS'.
@@heathermackinnon9527 No I did not. I did know that JT got his first record deal through The Beatles.

The lineup for that concert is genuinely insane.

George is an incredibly underrated guitar player and I love his slide playing so much
Anything from George is heavenly.
Awww....well said
George Harrison has the most distinctive slide guitar player ever. You hear just a few notes, and you it's him. Amazing!

George Harrison finally got his chance to display his talent as a songwriter when he stepped off the shadow of Lennon/McCartney.
In my opinion, his solo releases are as good as or even better than John and Paul's solo works.
Thumbs up for "Isn't It A Pity" next!
George was always the more spiritual and grounded Beatle and it shows. He was overshadowed by John and Paul when it came to writing songs. So much so that his debut was a triple album made up of songs he didn't use as a Beatle. All Things Must Pass, Frankie Crisp,When We Was Fab and What is Life are good songs and worth a look or listen.
When we was Fab is just an excellent song and history lesson :-)
He was one of the best songwriters in the world. His problem was that the best songwriters in the world were both in his band.
Sigh.. I absolutely adore George Harrison ❤️❤️❤️
Same.
My favorite Beatle since I first saw them on Ed Sullivan in 1964 , 4th grader at the time. He was so under appreciated by John, Paul & George Martin... Ringo was always there for George, thanks to him for that! RIP George, we miss you!!!

Love this song! Don't miss out on "Isn't It a Pity" as well as "What is Life" and "All Things Must Pass". They're all social commentaries of a kind, coming from a spiritual place.
This! "Isn't It a Pity" is a gorgeous and vastly underrated masterpiece.
I think George wrote 'All Things Must Pass' at 27, which is pretty amazing considering its depth. But George was pretty 'deep', period.
I believe George once said that Isn’t It A Pity was not written about the Beatles falling apart. Though I find that hard to believe.
@@ontheroad5317 I always thought it was about his whole situation at the time. His marriage was falling apart, the Beatles were all but done and for someone who had spent as long as he had with the same people (bandmates and his wife) it would put him in a the proper mindset to write a song like that.
Plus his good friend took his wife. How crappie is that.

You can feel the spirit in all of George’s music. Such a spirit in everything he did. It ALWAYS makes me feel the higher power. If you are looking for a deep cut, try “be here now” from the same album.

Gah, that slide guitar work is just heaven. GH's music=feels for days!
You can really really hear the beautiful voice of George Harrison in this song. His essence.
All Things Must Pass is my favorite solo Beatles album and thats saying a LOT. I think that Wah Wah is one of the most under-rated songs on the album.
rundoetx I couldn't agree with you more. Wah Wah is a banger which never seems to get mentioned as much as it should.
Totally agree. I'm also partial to The ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp. Just an astonishingly good album overall.
@@nicholasmckibbin1510 I agree. Another personal favorite is Apple Scruffs.

☮️💟♾️
Wonderful Song, My Sweet Lord would be another good Harrison tune and the comeback song I Got My Mind Set On You would both be good listens for you!
My Sweet Lord, What is Life, Isn't It A Pity, All Things Must Pass... The list goes on and on. You've got a great Beatles solo journey ahead.
This young artist shows SO MUCH promise. I heard he had some previous experience in a band... but I eagerly look forward to hearing more from George!!
🤣🤣😉😎
I've heard of that early band. I think they were called The Roaches.
And Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings.
He plays every night in the heavenly café, where he's sometimes joined by a fellow named John.
As a child of the 60's, this makes me miss George more than ever!! Thanks for the high grade for George!!

One of the few songs that almost always brings me to tears: gorgeous sounds and do fucking sincere: seriously, what’s not to love?
Side note: One thing that you'll notice on his solo songs is the slide guitar. He was considered one of the leading rock slide guitarists of his time.
The Beatles were and still are the greatest band ever! All members were GENIUS!
So much positive energy from George! His spirit lives on.

The day I learned that George had died, I went into my office, shut the door and wept uncontrollably for about 5 minutes straight.
I know how you felt. When I heard the news I felt like I lost my best friend.
Same here, it just seemed totally unfair that such a beautiful soul should be taken from us. 😢
I cried for minutes too, but then again I was just born that day...
I am reading these comments on the 50th anniversary of the song's release. I have been a Beatles fan all of my life and George was always my favorite. When he passed I was devastated and for years I cried every time I heard any of his songs, whenever I saw pictures or video and just thinking about him. It was indeed unfair that the world should lose a genuinely admirable man.
I used to think of George's songs in church all the time, even his slide guitar playing has a spiritual vibe to it
Transported back to being five years old on a school bus, the smells of the plastic seats in the sun, the bus driver's transistor radio playing this song as he drove us to summer camp. 😊😊
That was a lovely memory to share.....you painted an idyllic picture 🌺
Thanks for the memory trigger. 💭💭💭
Thanks for sharing such a great memory of youth.
George Harrison is an under rated legend, a true "quiet Beatle treasure" yes, very deep...good to see you young'uns diggin this!!!
For your taste of George you should try Beware of Darkness or All Things Must Pass for your single(s) from that album
Beware of Darkness is a prime example on George Harrison achieving something rare and profound with unexpected key changes and tonal shifts almost gone in today’s songwriting. A must.
@@EllakGr I think, to quote/paraphrase Dhani Harrison, George used “naughty chords” in this song in particular.
George Harrison’s music soothes my entire being!
ouaouh...... Georges!!!!!! "All things must pass" album is a master piece!
The syncopation in this song always makes me smile. It may be my favorite George song.
George was stifled enough with the Beatles that he opened his solo career with a three album set.
I think he also blossomed as a songwriter toward the end of the Beatles. I think it was the label that was cool on George. His bandmates give him high praise and have said his songs are the best ones Abbey Road. He was the youngest as well, so his songwriting skills blossomed later. In any case, what an astonishingly good collection of songwriters and singers in that band.
George….my favorite Beatle. Wish he were still here. Love this song.
George Harrison was my favorite ex Beatles in the early 70s. All Things Must Pass is one of the all time greats! Do yourself a favor and hit the whole album!!
The complexity and beauty of the changes and modes puts to shame almost any popular music produced in the last few decades.
Beware of Darkness is my favorite GH solo song. The live version from Bangladesh Concert is fantastic.
