Biography of George Harrison

George Harrison was a British guitarist, singer, songwriter and film producer. As a member of the Beatles, he achieved international fame and prestige. During his career, he developed himself as a lyricist and wrote many best-selling songs. In addition to music, Harrison was interested in Hindu spirituality and was a devotee of the Hare Krishna movement.

George Harrison was born on 25 February 1943 in Liverpool. His family was a Roman Catholic and he went to school near Penny Lane - later Beatles became immortal in the form of a song. At school, he became friendly with Paul McCartney. This was Paul McCartney, who introduced George Harrison to John Lennon, and George was invited to play with the pre-Beatles band - The Quarterman.

"I think those people who can actually live in music are telling the world," You can be my love, you can be my smile. Forget the bad parts, you do not need them. Just take the music, good, because it is the best, and this is the part that I most voluntarily give. "

George-Harrisongourge Harrison was the youngest beetle, only when he met John Lennon at the age of 16. However, in 1960, he jumped on the opportunity to work with the Beatles to work in Germany. On returning to Britain in 1963, Beatles earned national and then international fame - which led a revolution in popular music. Everywhere the Beatles went, they created a huge public interest - the term Beatelmania was introduced to explain the cultural and music phenomenon. Although little less famous than Lennon and McCartney (sometimes called 'Quiet Beetle'), George Harrison was still very popular, especially among girls.

Most of the music recorded by the Beatles was written by McCartney or Lennon. However, in the late 1960s, George was interested in writing the song, and Lennon and McCartney began accepting some of George's songs on Beetle albums, such as Help and Abbey Road. His most famous songs include Here Comes the Sun and Something. However, many of his compositions were not used by other Beatles, so it encouraged him to make an independent career, and was a factor in the breakdown of the Beatles in the 1970s.

George Harrison was very interested in Indian music and Indian spirituality. He introduced other band members to the Hari Krishna movement and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. George's interest grew in Indian music and folk rock through later Beatles albums, which helped broaden the Beatles music limit. After the division of the Beatles, he maintained keen interest in Indian spirituality and remained associated with the Hare Krishna movement until his death in 2001.

After the break-up of the Beatles, George Harrison followed a successful solo career. In 1970, he released the chart-topping album All Things Most Pass, which included his own compositions and recordings with friends. This album included the prestigious number one hit - My Sweet Lord.

My thoughts in "My Beloved God", because it seemed like a "pop song", was to sneak a little bit on them. The issue was that people did not get annoyed with "Haleelujah", and as long as they do not find "Hare Krishna", they are already inclined, and tapping their feet, and they are already "parallel" Singing with them, give them a sense of false security. And then suddenly it turns into "Hare Krishna", and they must be singing all that before they know what has happened, and they will think, "Hey, I thought I did not like Hare Krishna!"

George Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001 and his ashes were scattered in the traditional Hindu fashion in the Ganges.
