The Beatles guitarist and occasional songwriter GEORGE HARRISON
passed away 22 years ago, on 29 November 2001 in Los Angeles due to
lung cancer. He was only 58.
Harrison was both lucky and unlucky to be in The Beatles. Lucky as the Fab Four
fame helped when he started his solo career, and unlucky as the Lennon/McCartney
tandem prevented him to write far more songs for the band, than he was worthy of
which he proved the most on his lauded and best-known (triple) album All Things
Must Pass in 1970. The sitar-loving musician and Hare Krishna devotee had ups and
downs regarding his solo discography.

Great 7″ singles from the past
29 November 2022
The Fab Four scored their 18th number-one hit in the US with double
A-side single COME TOGETHER / SOMETHING this day in 1969.
Lennon was, lyrically, inspired by Timothy Leary‘s campaign for governor
of California titled “Come together, join the party” against Ronald Reagan
and sonically by Chuck Berry‘s 1956 rocker You Can’t Catch Me
’Something’ was the first George Harrison written
track which appeared as a Beatles A-side.
