3 Best Songs From George Harrison's Solo Career That Are Underappreciated

Tuesday, February 4, 2025

When I checked George Harrison out on the Internet, I kept finding the same words to describe him - underappreciated and overlooked. He was always seemingly eclipsed by his virtuoso Beatle bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Their towering genius at songwriting and musicianship unfortunately put Harrison in the shade. That seems unfair. He was every bit as brilliant and special in his own subtle way as they were in theirs.

Now, almost 24 years after his death in 2001 at the too-young ago of 58, his work bears renewed evaluation. In my opinion, Harrison's stunning 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass qualifies him for greatness in itself. It is an unequaled encapsulation of everything that made him remarkable and unique as an artist.
Looking Back At George Harrison's Amazing Career

Maybe you have seen a program on PBS called Concert for George that was filmed in London on November 29, 2002, one year after Harrison left us.. Some of his musician buddies got together in his memory and played his songs in a rollicking, reverential show. Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, ex-Beatles Paul and Ringo, Billy Preston, Harrison's son, Dhani, and others played and sang their hearts out. If anything, it proved how very gifted George Harrison really was and how much he is missed.
