George wrote such uplifting music!! How can you not feel something spiritual listening to this (no matter what your beliefs might be). He didn't care who/what you followed, just that you aspired to be a good person and loved your fellow humans, and the world as a whole. RIP George.

George wrote all these songs he had them for years. All the singing you hear on my sweet lord is all George. All things must pass is a masterpiece.

While my guitar gently weeps is a George song. He wrote so many good Beatles tracks, and his is the best solo career in my opinion.

Well, yes and no. We will never know what John might have done. We had a taster on 9 October 1980, his 40th birthday. I bought it and was on cloud 9. He was back; I was ecstatic. Exactly 2 months later (4 days after my birthday) he was murdered. So up to a point yes, but we will never truly know. Breaks my heart. Oh and never, ever mention the murdering bastard's name. That's what he wanted, to have his name linked to John's forever. He's the assassin, the murdering bastard or the killer. Ok, so have a great weekend, wherever you are. x love, peace and music from East Coast of England.

Okay you got me. I’m subscribing. I think what you’re referring to was a string instrument from India called a sitar which George learned to play and also that was a Hindu chant. “Harrison’s lyrical attempt to bridge a divide between Christianity and Hinduism was one meaning of the song.” George just wanted everyone to get along and live in peace☮️

Such a wonderful gesture- she said she would never let anyone else call her 'Katie' for the rest of her life. What a doll she was. I hope the years have been kind to her. And to you !

This was on the radio a lot in my high school years. Then it was just a pop song that I liked. Now I hear it more as a cry to God, Krishna, or otherwise. I hear it as a religious release. Thanks for doing this.

This was, by far, the best triple album ever released. George had so much great music saved up from not being able to get it all out with the Beatles that only a few months after the break up, he had three albums of great material, and put it all out at once.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney didn't want to record Harrison's music except when they needed more songs to finish the album. That's how the love song - Something (In The Way She Moves) was recorded written by Harrison, released by The Beatles and became a massive hit, still considered today as one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Harrison by many people is considered their favorite musician from the Beatles.

the uniqueness of this song is that he took Hindu/Krishna spiritual chant and set it to a standard Gospel chord progression. Even though the concepts were foreign to a western audience, the song became number 1. Pretty amazing. Yes, George wrote almost all his own material. And he had 1 or 2 songs on almost every Beatles album - and many absolutely great ones. All Things Must Pass is an incredibly deep album. You should check out as much of this album as you can.

All Those Years Ago still gets me

He had so many great songs stashed from his Beatle years, the producer Phil Spector was amazed when he showed him the songs. They decided to do the All Things Must Pass album to use some of them. George brought in Ringo, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton and other musician friends to make the album. George was the spiritual one in the band, Paul was the love song pop writer, John the deep thinking politician, and Ringo the happy go lucky one.

"What is Life", "Give Me Love, Give Me Peace on Earth" are two more great hits by this wonderful songwriter/singer.

The background vocals at the end are part of a Vedic chant. He got really into spirituality after his visit to India and began incorporating transcendental meditation and Vedic chants and mantras into his everyday life and music. Eventually going on to co-produce the album "Chants of India" with Ravi Shankar.

George wrote his music and had a brilliant career as a solo artist.

He’s got two of my top five 🍻Then he just kept doing it 😎

George was the best Beatle, rest his soul.....

Produced by the BEATLES producer. George was allowed a song or two per album by the BEATLES - love his WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS on the BEATLES WHITE ALBUM.

Said it before. George played some with Delaney and Bonnie near the end of the Beatles. So did Eric Clapton, Dave Mason and eventually Duane Allman. The musicians in Delaney and Bonnie were also Derek's Dominos and played on this album. Bobby Whitlock on keys, Jim Gordon on Drums, Carl Radle on Bass, Bobby Keys on Sax and Jim Price on Trumpet. Eric Clapton and Dave Mason also played on this great triple album.

He had so much music that his first solo music was a triple album 😳

The album that is from (All Things Must Pass) is to this very day my favorite post Beatles release. Including anything by McCartney. And Paul has put out some great post Beatles albums.

The "George songs" were always a highlight when I was young going through my mother's old Beatles records - "Something," "Here Comes the Son," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are just a few examples. And any old clips of them live, his harmonizing is integral to the whole vibe. And when they started despite being barely 15, he was the most musically talented technically, as far as a proper guitar player. It is just part of being a Beatles fan to always root for George! In addition to the songs he did closer to the break-up, he came with some great 80's tunes like "I Got My Mind Set on You" and "When we Were Fab" then was essentially in the lead spot for the super group the Travelling Willberrys (i.e. "Handle with Care," "End of the Line," etc)and they had a great album with a few unforgettable tunes. His post-humous 3 part bio done on Showtime like 10+ years ago is a MUST WATCH, especially as it seems you are both really digging his music. Love to see ya'll giving love to George!

He wrote most if not all of these songs when he was still on the Beatles. A couple songs were written by other people. He wrote several great Beatle songs too.

Happy Birthday, Baby George. 25/02/1943 The quiet, dark and mysterious Beatle. Or was he? At one of The Beatles' first recording sessions with George Martin, they were asked by George Martin " Is there anything you don't like?" and quick as a flash George Harrison said "Well for one thing I don't like your tie!"

The Beatles were influenced and partook in Indian spirituality. George was singing Hare (ha-ray) which means praise, and he gave praise to Hindu gods, gurus and beliefs. Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Vishnu etc.

awainting on you all, the art of dying, id have you anytime, wah wah, and my personal favorite from the all things must pass album is run of the mill absolute BANGER

CRAZY 😜 WORLD 🌎 WE ARE LIVING IN, WE REALLY REALLY NEED OUR LORD , TOO HELP US ❤❤❤

George wrote his own music and lyrics. He also wrote some of the best of the Beatles. See "Something," "Here Comes the Sun," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," among many others. You should check out the entire "Concert for Bangladesh."

George's All Things Must Pass is arguably the best of the all the Beatles solo albums. Ringo plays great drums on this song. George's slide guitar playing is instantly recognizable. Such a signature sound. He came up with this song after jamming with Billy Preston during a 1969 tour with Delaney and Bonnie when they were talking about great gospel music. George and Billy were very spiritual. Clapton played with them on that tour also.

cheers all

One of favorites from George ❤

Yes he wrote my sweet lord

I first heard this @ 4 yrs old, the guitar strum that got me ! Problem with British radio music like this become mainstay as I was growing up I’m 5+ it still sounds like the first time hearing it and where I was.

Harrison began writing “My Sweet Lord” in December 1969, when he, along with Billy Preston and Eric Clapton were in Copenhagen, Denmark playing with Delaney & Bonnie’s band. It was in the middle of a productive and spiritual period that saw George producing Preston’s “That’s the Way God Planned It” and the “Hare Krishna” mantra of London’s Radha Krishna Temple, as well as writing songs with a spiritual theme for his own planned solo record.

George Harrison was a devote of Eastern Spirituality and honored Jesus, Krishna and others. In this song, they sing the Guru Mantra, which pays homage to all of one's spiritual teachers.

My favorite song!

how can u not like it, typical George song catchy as . I think this is gospel rock

Yes, this is George's writing. He usually got one or two songs onto a Beatles record, but in the later Beatle years he got a few more as his writing improved substantially. Here he chants Hare Krishna and Hare Hare and other Hindu phrases. George was highly spiritual and was a uniter of people in faith and had no difficulty bridging any such gaps. The production on this song and the album All Things Must Pass was by the late Phil Spector, of "Wall of Sound" notoriety, producer of so much 1960's pop.

As most of you know Billy Preston was called "the 5th Beatle" if you haven't seen the dedication to George Harrison look for Billy doing "My Sweet Lord" with Eric Clapton, George's son Dhani, Jeff Lynne to name a few...Billy Kills it with an over the top joyous performance both vocally & on the keyboards! Made George smile from up above I'm sure. Love your reactions guy's, you really listen to every note.

At first i heard this song on the radio station I bought the single vinyl. And when I saw the film in the cinema I was really blown away. After that the LP "Concert for Bangla Desh" came out and I bought it too. At this time it was a journey. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

George was the Spiritual Beatle……studied under great Indian Buddhist’s….very new age.

As an adult I remember the Beatles as a child

All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece album by George Harrison

Listen to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Here Comes The Sun” ! Y’all will love it!

George, the most beautiful Beatle. ❤❤❤❤

George always sang backup in the beattles. He always had different take on music. But it was always good. He was into different types of religion

I love George's vocal on this song. So much yearning and freedom of his soul, going up to Heaven. He was born to write and sing this song. This is a gift from George to humanity!

so glad your are reacting to some of George Harrison's music!!!! It is definitely one of my all time favorite spiritual songs, & in this list is also, Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, and Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 The generation back in the 70's (referred to as the Hippie generation) were based on love, peace, & spirituality, & if you stay on this path, you will hear a lot of songs that refer to many forms of spirituality!!!

You are RIGHT!!! All the members of The Beautiful were influenced by Black music and George on this song did a Folk version of Gospel music with this song with a twist of his own religious believe which was Hinduism which the Lord of Life is Vishnu.

George Harrison does some great vocals. He also wrote "Wile My Guitar Gently Weeps" though Eric Classic played a solo in it. You may want to check out some Traveling Wilbury's videos. It's a group made up of George Harrison and some primo artists. They got together just to have fun making music.

For a real beautiful rendition of this song take a listen at the concert tribute to George Harrison. Billy Preston plays keys and does the lead vocals on this while the other great musicians on stage pick up the background vocals. Talk about taking you to church. As you may know, Billy Preston played keyboards on a lot of their songs.

George had a long court case, when the writers of “ He’s so fine “ by the Chiffons claimed My sweet Lord was too close to their song, he settled up.

stuck inside a cloud from his last album also STRAIGHT fire.

One of the , if not he greatest post-Beatles albums, which also include McCartney's "Bend on the Run" and Lennon's "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band".

George also did one or two of the background harmony vocals. The sonics, and the vibe of the record was produced by my old friend Phil Spector.

Billy Preston and George were friends, he brought Billy into the studio sessions of Let It Be and then asked Billy how to write a gospel tune, that is why it sounds a lot like Billy Preston's music. Also, he gave it to Billy to record before he released it on All Things Must Pass.

George Harrison organised the Bangladesh concert in 1971 , beautiful.

True story: for a while I used to have severe back pains, and one day I happened to start listening to all things must pass (the album) and when that song came on, my back pain went away while I was completely entranced by the song

George was a slow starter in writing songs. At first it was just John and Paul, and he felt self-conscious about his songs. It wasn't until later did he start developing songs, but once he started he quickly picked up the pace and wrote a lot of songs, but because there was only a couple of songs per album. Towards then last few years of the Beatles he felt constraint by only having 2 songs per album. By the time the Beatles split up George had amassed quite a number of songs, which is why his All Things Must Pass album is so big.

He wrote it. George was a great songwriter.

George remade this tune in 2000. It's called My Sweet Lord 2000. It was released on the 30th anniversary of All Things Must Pass. Georgia's first solo album. ✌️
