History

George Harrison is recognisable by his guitar before his voice: a slide tone kept clean and almost vocal in shape, phrases that answer the melody rather than climb over it. Inside the Beatles he was the third writer, and the songs he pushed onto records carry a plainer, more contemplative tone than the two writers beside him, Here Comes the Sun being the clearest case. His interest in Indian classical music was study rather than decoration, and it shows less in the sitar itself than in how long he is willing to let a drone or a modal line sit still before anything moves. When the band ended he had years of unreleased songs stored up, and All Things Must Pass arrived as a triple album that went to number one. My Sweet Lord set a devotional chant inside a gospel arrangement and found listeners with no interest in either. In 1971 he organised the Concert for Bangladesh, which gave the charity concert its shape. Got My Mind Set on You put him back on radio in the late 1980s with the same unhurried delivery.
