George Harrison Favorite Song

[GoldenTV]

As lead guitarist for the band The Beatles, George's solo musical materials are more guitar oriented than solo projects from other band members Paul MacCartney, John Lennon and Ringo Starr. And this song showcase some of his best guitar work from 1987 album Cloud Nine.

Holy crap. I swear to Krishna I clicked on the thread title fully intending to share that song. It’s such a little known gem!

My three favorites:

What Is Life
Crackerbox Palace
Blow Away

[Dream Canteen]

This was recorded October 2, 2001, less than two months before George died. It was written by George and his son, Dhani. George knew he was dying by this point and was too weak to play guitar on the track, but he still managed to lay down a decent vocal.

Thanks Dream, ThisLittlePiggy, 1960'sTVfan for walking down memory lane with George's song selections. Some I have heard (What Is Life, All Things Must Pass, blow away, My Sweet Lord) and some have not heard (Crackerbox Palace, cheer down).

I can only imagine how much more music and songs we had from these guys if John Lennon and George have lived to ripe old age.

Beware of Darkness is a beautiful George Harrison song.

Fun fact: actually a cover. I didn’t realize that until years later.

This song is so beautiful it brings me to tears. Have you ever heard the Live from the concert for Bangladesh version? Leon Russell joins in with George singing it.

I am not a big fan of live recordings, but that had alot of soul in it. Especially when Leon Russell come roaring in.

All 3 of those are among my favorites too. I will add "This Song" (1976) and "Love Comes to Everyone" (1979).
