George usually wrote and sang one song in every Beatles' album. However, he really excelled in Abbey Road with "Something" and "Here comes the sun".
George was a teenager when he met Paul & John in Liverpool. Later, they formed the band that ended up as The Beatles.
George played lead guitar and did some background vocals as well. He was referred to as the "quiet Beatle" because he was always playing behind John and Paul.
It's easy to be "quiet" when you are playing behind the "songwriting" machine of Lennon-McCartney! Nevertheless, his wonderful guitar is heard in everyone of The Beatles's hits, from "Ticket to Ride" to "Day Tripper" to "Come Together".
George was always there but we just didn't notice him that much!
Click here for "Something", a # 1 song and the only time that one of George's compositions was selected as the A-side of a Beatles' single.
The second is "This is love", a solo effort from the late 1980's. It includes lots of nice pictures with his wife Olivia. They were married for almost 25 years. The 3rd video is from that fateful day 10 years ago:
"Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how ....."
"Precious words drift away from their meanings
and the sun melts the chill from our lives
helping us all to remember what we came here for
this is love this is la la la la love
this is love this is la la la la love
Little things that will change you forever
may appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of everybody who don't understand
This is love this is la la la la love
this is love this is la la la la love
This is love, this is love
this is love, this is la la la la love
Since our problems have been our own creation
they also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
this is love this is la la la la love
this is love this is la la la la love
This is love this is la la la la love
this is love...."
