48. George Harrison- My personal top ten

My favourite five with The Beatles

1: Long, Long, Long

2: Old Brown Shoe

3: While my guitar gently weeps (although prefer the acoustic demo on Anthology 3)

4: Something (Obvious but classic- love Smokey Robinson and Isaac Hayes’ versions of this)

5: The inner light
Special mention for ‘It’s all too much’ and original Beatles version of ‘Not guilty’

My favourite five George Solo tracks

1: All things must pass

2: Try some, buy some

3: Lay his head ( this and the three other tracks that George was made to remove from  'Somewhere in England' such as 'Sat singing' and Flying hour are great - one up for George)

4: Isn’t it a pity (nb Bettye Lavettes’ awesome verison which I posted a performance of as an earlier post!)

5: Cheer down (a great James Bond theme alike)

Special shout going out for George’s productions for Billy Preston (‘That’s the way God Planned it’ and ‘Encouraging words’ albums) and Doris Troy.  Kudos also for having The Stairsteps and Keni Burke on the Dark Horse label
