The chorus in the background, using 1970's technology was laid down one voice at a time. ALL the voices are George Harrison!! And the credit on the album sleeve is to the George O'Hara -Smith singers. The entire album is a masterpiece and the first post-Beatle album to hit number 1. A triple album that hit triple platinum within days of release.

The "Quiet Beatle" made a lot of noise in his solo career. Not only had he performed with the biggest and best names, he spear-headed a number of humanitarian causes. I grew up on The Beatles, but George was the one who ultimately changed the way I looked at and felt about life. I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who didn't feel that way about the man. PS: Listen to WAH-WAH; nothing quiet about that one!!!

Hi, My Sweet Lord sounds good, but he's not singing about Jesus, but a false god, Harrison wrote "My Sweet Lord" in praise of the Hindu god Krishna, at the end when he says My sweet Lord, he says Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Harrison was in false religion, he wasn't singing about the Lord Jesus, but to his false god Krishna,

Although it is lovely to think he was saying hallelujah in other languages, he was in fact saying the meditative mantra of the Hare Krishna movement that was popularized in the 60's/70's. Also at the end he is giving shout-outs to the spiritual leaders and gurus of the Eastern religions into which he immersed himself. He used the word play between hallelujah and hare krishna to introduce Eastern religious themes into Western culture. This furthers his introduction of Eastern musical instruments into Western music during his time with the Beatles.

I will never take away from this song because it is so beautifully and perfectly done. Following his death, a number of well known musicians held a concert in George's honor. The concert included George's son, Dhani Harrison, on the acoustic guitar who is a spitting image of his father. This song was one of the songs they played with Billy Preston (you just reacted to "Nothing from Nothing" by Billy Preston) having the honor of being the lead vocalist. OMG! Billy did such an amazing job (as did the rest of the group) that I have no doubt in my mind that George was smiling down from Heaven. Even if you don't react to it, you have to watch the video. It will leave a positive and lasting impression with you.

MY LOrd Jesus great song !! With Respect!

[@sarahdee374]

The Hindu part of this is based on a style of deity worship called Kirtan. Chanting the phrases energizes different energy centers of the body and create bliss and connection to God and all. It's even more amazing sitting in a roomful of folks chanting the same words. Bliss beyond words. It's my Spiritual practice and I incredibly miss the group experience in the past 2 years.

Hi, My Sweet Lord sounds good, but he's not singing about Jesus, but a false god, Harrison wrote "My Sweet Lord" in praise of the Hindu god Krishna, at the end when he says My sweet Lord, he says Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Harrison was in false religion, he wasn't singing about the Lord Jesus, but to his false god Krishna,

There's a killer live version from "A concert for George" here on YT in which the great Billy Preston does the lead vocals, and Eric Clapton plays the guitar. You might also check out another great George tune called What is Life".

My catholic middle school had a nun who played guitar. We sang this song in choir and during Mass a lot. Im not even Catholic but i loved my first experience with God.

[@william_marshal]

Funny a catholic nun singing about Hari Krishna, or did she not understand who this song was about?

Need to do George Harrison- Give me love it’s about spreading peace and love around the world and shows his vocals

[@txheadshots]

He was at his most "poppy" with an 80s hit called "I've Got My Mind Set On You" .. but he is perhaps the most underappreciated musician of the era... from being "the forgotten Beatle" to the calming, mellow sounds of his 70s music (influenced by his dive into Transcendental Mediation), to his more pop sound in the 80s with his solo career and one of the founding members of the Traveling Wilbury's... He's a Legend

Idk how to describe how great y'all are together, but you both have the perfect energy 💯 Your vids flow so easy and your both mad open-minded, nothing but respect 🤙🏾💯

[@tommack9395]

"What is Life" - fact is that first real solo album "All Things Must Pass' is a treasure. George was always my favorite Beetle, I love the solo in :'Til There Was You" ... George was humble, down to earth, humorous and reserved but really was like the icing on the cake in the early Beetles -John and Paul would bring in a song then George and Ringo would just make up their own parts to it i.e. the guitar licks in "And I love Her" and main riff in "Day Tripper" were all George's input. That's the way most bands work. Plus "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something" on the last LP were among all the rest of the Beetles best catalog. "Something" likely the song most covered by other artist. Anyway, you'll find his fingerprints on many songs in the late sixties and early seventies under alias. As a songwriter easily on par with John or Paul yet George was so just one of the guys he rarely if ever flaunted his talent nor celebrity. "The Traveling Wilburys" - a band George pretty-much formed (created) out of happen-stance from 'Handle With Care".

[@helenarcarvalho]

"What is Life" is amazing!!! And "The Traveling Wilburys" are a great band...

[@scoonman]

If you watch the new documentary it seems like half of the songs that were on all things must Pass were worked out by the Beatles and they rejected them all..🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😡😡

[@razorback9926]

No, George was not your favorite Beatle. John or Paul was.

[@deb5710]

Don't forget "I Feel Fine" great guitar rift on that one!

George played all the guitar parts and sang all the backups on this song. Such talent

[@gribwitch]

Not all the backup vocals. He had some female singers in there as well, for the chorus.

[@debsparbel8325]

There are so many great songs from George’s solo career that have been mentioned by other comments.Here are a few more. “When We Was Fab” is about the experience of being a Beatle. “All Those Years Ago” is his tribute to John Lennon. His last album, “Brainwashed”, was released after his death from brain cancer and has some great songs. I would highly recommend “Any Road”, “Pisces Fish”, and “Looking for my Life” from that final album.

[@Wordsmyth8]

Some may feel this song is repetitive, but it’s actually hypnotic. I’ve heard it’s meant to be like a meditative mantra. You can hear the references to Hare Krishna. Whatever you think of it, My Sweet Lord was a huge smash hit. I believe at the time, it was the biggest hit by any solo Beatle, which I find ironic since when the band was together, George was always overshadowed by Paul and John. George was a swell guy and he has always been my favorite Beatle. May he Rest In Peace. ✌️

He is my favorite Beetle, too.

This song was co-written with Billy Preston who also released a version. During the "Concert for George", Billy Preston performed an amazing inspirational rendition of "My Sweet Lord" with an Allstar cast on stage, all while Billy kept the secret that he had terminal, end-stage cancer and died just a few months later. That rendition should be watched, and felt, by you and your watchers.

[@woodrowcall3269]

I love his version from that concert. It is the absolute feel good song .

[@alexhamilton9758]

Please supply a legitimate source for this opinion - that Preston co-wrote My Sweet Lord. Participating in the recording is NOT the same as co-writing.

[@m.vondrake5534]

@@alexhamilton9758 many people may not realize that the term Producer implies creativity in composition (writing, musical arrangements), Phil Spector said that while George Harrison wrote the lyrics, rhythm guitar and that excellent slide guitar work, Billy Preston created all the keyboard and Hammond Organ music (writing) and the band "Bad Finger" performed the rest of the instruments in the recording. In the Billy Preston version, Billy took more of a lead in Production, it has some differences in lyrics and composition especially to the back-up vocals as Billy wanted a more Gospel feel which George really enjoyed. The personal in the recording is the same. George let Billy release it first thinking it would be a bigger "hit" than his, but when Billy's version of the song fluttered on the charts, George released his version believing it would give Billy Preston the royalties and credit he deserved.
