George Harrison

1943 – 2001

George Harrison was an English musician who served as lead guitarist of the Beatles and increasingly contributed his own compositions—including "Something," "Here Comes the Sun," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"—to the band's catalog. As a solo artist his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass yielded the worldwide hit "My Sweet Lord," and his 1971 Concert for Bangladesh established the modern model of the celebrity benefit concert. As a producer through HandMade Films he financed Monty Python's Life of Brian and Withnail and I.
