George Harrison Once Said He's Have to Make 'A Hundred Beatles Albums

George Harrison achieved international notoriety with The Beatles. The so-called quiet Beatle was instrumental to the band’s success, but he considered quitting while recording Let it Be. George once said he’d have to make a hundred Beatles albums just to get through the songs he wrote during one very prolific year.It took him nearly a decade to admit it, but John Lennon was a big fan of George’s “Within You Without You” from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. John said it showcased George’s innate songwriting talent.

It wasn’t popular in the United Kingdom, but George finally earned a No. 1 single with The Beatles in 1969. The Abbey Road double A-side of “Come Together” and George’s “Something” spent 16 weeks on the Billboard singles chart and peaked at No. 1 in late November 1969.

Finding chart success for his songs was a bonus for George, but it was too little too late. He realized his Beatles problems years before the band broke up.
