    A beautiful song by the under appreciated Beatle. You will never convince me he is in lennon's league, no one is, but still incredibly talented singer, songwriter and guitarist. And not a ****, like John could be.

      Yes, Lennon was a bit of a *****, it seems. But I'm not sure that they are not in the same league. LIke I mentioned in a diff comment, Lennon and McCartney controlled the creative efforts of the band, for the most part.

    I miss George. I saw an interview with McCartney once about how George carried a ukelele around with him wherever he went. And liked to play this song on it up tempo so anybody around could sing along with him. Can't you just hear how he would do it? LOL! Tom Petty talks about that too.....,How George always carried extra ukeles around in the trunk of his car cause "you never know" when people will want to play along.



    That's so English!



    Now I'm nostalgic for my favorite song by him....I'm going to post it.

    Love this one! Here Comes the Sun is another all time fave of mine. I think Harrison was underrated for sure. But no matter how you slice it, these guys put out some of the most amazing songs of all time. {love, love} them! Thanks for sharing.

    I loved that cute little dance he always did onstage. Great guitar player and song writer. Its just so sad George and John gone. Wonder what all they might have accomplished by now?

      Good point. Think of the songs which have gone unwritten.

    Good song but George is the third Beatle, Paul second and John first IMO based on quality and quantity. Having said that Lennon definately comes top for arrogance and George for being the "nicest" Beatle. Remember that George was also a Travelling Wilberry which included amongst others Bob Dylan

      That's what conventional wisdom says. And I say.. really? Was George really less talented or did the producers (and John and Paul) push for it to be that way? Something to think about.

      I would recommend the film by Martin Scorsese shown on British TV and available on DVD. Worth watching if you haven't already seen it.

      Yes. The forgotten Beatle is what some call him. He's not forgotten by me.
