However, George Harrison managed to change his music style. The same failure was his next record, Extra Texture - Read All About It (1975). Harrison was criticized for «dull songs» and «over-indulging his love for Indian music». However, next record, Dark Horse (1975), which was written after singer’s breakup with his wife, became the complete failure. In 1973 Harrison recorded Living In The Material World, which was deeply influenced by his interest in Hindu culture and also became very successful. Harrison’s performances on these concerts were later released as a live album of the same name. Next year George Harrison organized The Concert For Bangladesh – two charity shows in New York to rise money for refugees of Bangladesh Liberation War. The album became both critical and commercial success, while tracks My Sweet Lord and What Is Life are regarded as his best solo efforts. Both of them were mainly instrumental – on the first record Harrison experimented with Indian and Western sounds, on the second one – with synthesizer.Īfter The Beatles split up in 1970, Harrison released a 3-CD album All Things Must Pass, also based on his music experiments. However, the band mostly performed songs by Lennon and MacCartney, so Harrison recorded and released two solo albums: Wonderwall Music (1969) and Electronic Sound (1970). Later George Harrison has written a number of famous songs for The Beatles, such as While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun, Something and others. Soon Harrison became the member of The Beatles (although at first Lennon thought that Harrison was too young to play with them). Next year Harrison has made an acquaintance with John Lennon and Paul MacCartney, who were one year older than he. He fell in love with guitar music when he was a child, and bought his first instrument when he was 14 years old. Legendary musician was born on 25 February, 1943, in Liverpool. His former bandmate Paul MacCartney described him as the «man who helped broaden the horizons of music». He made his name as The Beatles’ lead guitarist and later succeeded with his solo career, as well as record producer. George Harrison is one of the most well-known British musicians.
