OMG guys, George Harrison was the lead guitarist in the BEATLES. This song was from his first solo award winning album right after the Beatles broke up. The album was called All Things Must Pass, which is also a great song. He got very philosophical and although raised Catholic he got into the Indian /Hindu religion as well and Indian instruments such as the Sitar. Indian as in from "India". He also formed the group The Travelling Wilburys with many classic early rock musicians, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne . He write & sang the Beatle song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps. You reacted to the cover version of that song.

He did not read or know how to technically write music and not until I heard it compared did I realize the tune was almost exactly the same as "He's so fine" He lost the lawsuit regarding these tunes for "subconciously plagarizing" the original tune and had to pay a lot of $$$ for it.

Other than George Harrison being one of the all time greats in the history of music, putting aside the fact he was one of the "Fab Four" (the Beatles), he was an amazing song writer as well as an incredibly gifted guitarist and composer. This is one of many songs I and other old bastards who served Her Majesty in both Gulf Wars and Afghanistan used to sing to the youngsters we were in charge of to help them keep their nerve when in a high stress situation, like when engaging an enemy force. We found that singing great songs badly helped steady kids by showing that music can distract them just enough from there fear, even though we were as afraid too. We sang the Beatles, Queen, E.L.O., Earth Wind and Fire, pretty much any one of the great songs we knew the words to. I first discovered how much music helps in high stress situations when my Royal Marine company was in Ethiopia in 1985 during the famine, we listened to Live Aid on the radio in one of the refugee camps. When Queen came on, it was like a switch had been pressed, first the children started to dance with us, dragging us up to join them. That night a few of us cried about how stunned we were at seeing people who were suffering so much, had had the ability to lift up our souls when it was them who were suffering. It was in Ethiopia I first sang "My Sweet Lord" as a kind of prayer to help us watch over and protect the people we were there to help. I sang it for the next 30 years to and for those I was trained to lead and look after when I felt I needed something to hold onto, it's a gift George Harrison gave to so many with the simplicity in the message in the song.

He was going through The Beatles breaking up. He didn’t really want the song to be released, and was shocked when it went to #1. Bobby Whitlock (Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Derek and the Dominos) says he and Harrison did all the background vocals because Eric Clapton didn’t show up that day.

can i hope that in the two years since reacting to this, that you have educated yourselves on the genius of geroge harrison. a member of the most influential group in music history, and writer of some truly amazing songs. all things must pass, my sweet lord, something, here comes the sun and while my guitar gently weeps are just some examples of this mans genius.

A lot of Christians lost their freakin' minds over this song when they realized it wasn't about their god but about an Indian one. Just the same as when John Lennon's Imagine came out. That one still drives them nuts and I love it and that song.

Just so much talent. George’s music is Emotional music. The Beatles were pioneers…then to have the success of the members solo careers … cannot be conveyed in words. You must discover through discovery.

George was the most spiritual Beatle, I can't believe you don't know who he is. He had a lovely voice that just chills you out, a bit like Cat Stevens does. I was so sad when he died

Some of the most streamed Beatles songs were written by my favorite Beatle. George Harrison. A man with such a great heart and spirit.

All Things Must Pass is the album this song is on. It is the biggest selling solo album of any Beatle. George also wrote Here Comes The Sun which is The Beatles most streamed song. He had two other number one songs as a solo artist, Give Me Love and Got My Mind Set On You.

One of my favorite channels is reviewing a song I recently found and can't stop listening to. The point of this song was to tap into that place in every human heart, from any faith or place in the world, that is reaching for that inherent spiritual hole that we are longing to fill. 🙏

Yes, George was the spiritual aspect of the Beatles. Quiet,reserved, spiritual....like a true Pisces. And though John and Paul were the main songwriters, George ALWAYS hit it out of the park when he wrote Beatles songs. "Something" is a perfect example of that. Doesn't matter that you didn't know who he was (R.I.P),you know who he is now. That's what really matters. Always love watching y'all react to great music and movies! 9:09

As soon as I heard Asia and BJ say they never heard of George Harrison I had to go right to the comments and see how many people said: "WHAT?!! HE WAS ONE OF THE BEATLES!!!!" :D Anyway, you guys should do a reaction to SOMETHING by the Beatles. A song George wrote while with the Fab Four. Also WHAT IS LIFE and GIVE ME LOVE (GIVE ME PEACE ON EARTH) two other great solo songs of George's.

George was a perfectionist he does all the backing harmonies as well as guitars alongside Eric Clapton and Ringo Star on drums. The track took months to record due to the layered vocals and guitars.
