He was the first Beatle to release a solo album, and the first have a solo UK #1 hit, in January 1971 with My Sweet Lord (I’ve discussed before what I think of the plagiarism charges brought by the publishing company who owned the rights to He’s So Fine), and the first to release a bona fide classic album, the three-LP set All Things Must Pass. George was perhaps the most innovative of the three innovators, even though some of these innovations I could do without. That’s the man who wrote the best songs on The Beatles’ perhaps best album, Something and Here Comes The Sun (a time when the other two struggled to finish their songs). I won’t be the first person ever to marvel at the circumstance that George Harrison was only the third-best songwriter in The Beatles. On 25 February we mark the 80 th anniversary of the birth of George Harrison.
