Arguably, George's voice suits this "old-timey" music even more than Paul's.

From the very start Paul's head was far too big headed (conceited) and that's never changed.

Every time I watch and hear George, I miss him all the more. I had a chance meeting with him at a hotel in Los Angeles. Waiting for an elevator after checking in, I was carrying two suitcases. The door open and as is normal for me, I wait for everyone to depart before I get in. Suddenly there he was... holding a uke in one hand and a light bag in the other. He said, “checking in?” I replied “ yes,” and he said, “nice hotel, this one.” Then he left. I think Olivia and Dani were with him but I don’t really remember. Crazy.

[@mysteriousmrocd8384]

In 1991 Harrison appeared on Jools Holland’s Channel 4 show Mr Roadrunner, in which Holland travelled to Tennessee and Mississippi in search of the music of America. In one section of the show, Holland pitched a “musical tent” in which he discovered Harrison, who played ‘Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea’ on a ukulele, with backing from Jools Holland on piano, Ray Cooper on drums, Joe Brown and Mark Flanagan on guitars, Gilson Lavis on stand-up bass, and Herbie Flowers on tuba. Mr Roadrunner was first broadcast in the UK on 6 June 1992. ‘Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea’ was first recorded by Cab Calloway in 1931, Harrison’s Brainwashed version was a remix of the TV recording.

I think the secret user, Georgeharrison Georgeharrison Official Channel made the powers of this song called Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea by George Harrison in Lost Effect.

[@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL]

I thought maybe it was Dave Edmunds in the red shirt playing guitar. Shows you what I know- very little. In any case, I've come back to this video over half a dozen times. Harrison's voice is so reed thin here, but it's perfect for this.

No really, that's about what he'd do though! Think of his role in The Rutles and The Pirate song. He had eclectic tastes, and his mother might have played this on the piano or even had the record in the '40s, who knows? I love this SO SO much! So sweet.

This is a sweet cover from a 1932 tune. George was so great, and I think he wrote some of the best Beatles hits in their later years together. "Something", "Here Comes The Sun", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Taxman"...and also some of the best post Beatles too. Miss you George!

[@musicfreaksmith5817]

His love for the uke made me go and get one and learn it....

[@454aubrey]

MusicFreak Smith I play mine out on my back porch at night, the stars and the calmness of playing my ukulele helps my hurts go away. As much as I love playing piano it is hard to pull around something so large and heavy. I've even played the several chords I know sitting around on a camping trip and notice the radio was turned off and I had people listening to me play at random. I love having a ukulele that I can take with me anywhere and I owe my inspiration to finding one to George as well.

[@dkelly26666]

You ever hear the funny story the late Tom Petty told about George? He said George once took him over to the trunk of his car, and George had a trunk full of ukuleles. He dug around and pulled out one or two and gave them to Petty. Petty said George earnestly told him to take them as, "You never know when you may need one..." Like he was giving him jumper cables or a tire jack....

[@454aubrey]

Dkelly26666 I got my uke from a woman who sings at my mom's church, it was sitting in the back of her car.

Same reason I bought one😊

[@maryannbrown5762]

dkelly26666 I love this story. Petty said that he, George and Jeff Lynne would sit around and play ukelele into the wee hours. George LOVED playing the ukelele! We were taught to play it in high school (a long time ago.) Now, people are really into the it again. I’m thinking of getting a ukelele myself.

This is a slightly different mix / performance than the studio track from George's 2002 Brainwashed album which featured a strummed acosutic guitar intro instead of the doubled dowbeat and guitar riffs intro heard here. This was from a live soundtrack performance from March of 1991 at a George Formby Convention held at Winter Gardens in Blackpool and eventually later broadcast on June 6th included in the 1992 TV segment of 'Mister Roadrunner' with Jools Holland (piano) and Joe Brown (guitar) & Mark Flannagan (guitar), Herbie Flowers (bass) and also features world reknown drummer & percussionist Ray Cooper and George on 6-string Uke.
