ALL THINGS MUST PASS

Born on this day 25 Feb 1943, George Harrison guitarist and vocalist with The Beatles, the world's most successful group.

There is so much to say about Harrison; he achieved so much in his post-Beatle life. George was the mastermind behind the first major musical live fundraiser with The Concert For Bangladesh.

Many critics say that his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass is the finest solo Beatles effort. It is a great body of work which, with the release of the worldwide hit My Sweet Lord, well and truly established Harrison as an equal to Lennon and McCartney.

By the end of The Beatles, George had accumulated hundreds of songs, many of which found a home on All Things Must Pass. He went on to make another eight solo albums during his career.

Harrison had formed a close friendship with Eric Clapton in the late 1960s, and they co-wrote the song Badge which was released on Cream's Goodbye album in 1969. Harrison also played rhythm guitar on the song. For contractual reasons, Harrison was required to use the pseudonym 'L'Angelo Misterioso,' meaning 'The Mysterious Angel' in Italian.

George became an accomplished gardener; he restored the English manor house and grounds of Friar Park, his home in Henley-on-Thames. Several Harrison videos were filmed on the grounds, including Crackerbox Palace. In addition, the grounds served as the background for the cover for his 1970 triple album release All Things Must Pass.
