George Harrison was known as the "Quiet Beatle," but the final year of his life was anything but low-key. From playing guitar on his friends' albums to toiling away on a long-awaited solo project, Harrison was making music right up until the end.

I recall an interview with Ringo....he was visiting with George who was clearly ill, and when Ringo was leaving him he explained that he had to go to Boston to be with his daughter who herself had a brain tumor. As I'll as he was, George asked Ringo if he needed George to accompany him. Ringo, obviously, gets choked up sharing this event. George was a special person and class act.

He was a very private person. There's no way to completely describe his last days. He saw Ringo and Paul individually, and he passed in a way that was very spiritual and beautiful (as beautiful as death can be, anyway).

@@bajorekjonI agree. Myself as a 20 year old, I think the day I'm going to pass is going to be a very relieving thing, in the sense that death isn't a frightening thing. It's the way you die that means something, and obviously you can die in all sorts of terrible ways, but death itself, I hope and think will be very peaceful and relieving. Maybe there's something on the other side, who knows.

Harrison's solo work All Things Must Pass is one of my all-time fav albums (take on a desert Island, of course with electricity to be able to play). And he was called the quiet Beatle because when they hit America he was sick and was told not to talk much to save his voice

Not mentioned in the video, George actually saw Ringo and Paul (individually) before he died.

Right? Plus the friend, whose house he passed away in, was actually Paul McCartney. I thought it was an interesting gloss-over considering it followed the clips with the remaining Beatles and a McCartney-specific clip.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps was my favorite by George Harrison. A beautiful soul. I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still, my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still, my guitar gently weeps, yeah I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted, too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping Why my guitar gently weeps (I look) look at you all Still, my guitar gently weeps

The quiet Beatle? Bollocks! - Q: -Who was the first rocker to explore Eastern spirituality, brokering what would come to be called "World Music?" A: George Harrison. Q: - Who spurred the Beatles to quit live performance and expand their sonic palette in the studio? A: George Harrison. Q: - Who awoke rock’s social conscience and invented the all-star charity event with the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971? A: - George Harrison His birthday Feb 25, 1943, and Robert Bigelow May 12, 1944, were twins separated at birth. This has not verified; The likeness of their appearance is notably similar, more so than George being "Quiet" in any way at all.
