George Harrison - Does this name strike a chord to you? Yeah, if you are a fan of Beatles, the rock n roll music would blast you to Cloud Nine! Though Ringo Starr has always been my fav in the Beatles band, George Harrison was the best with his 'My Guitar Gently weeps' - Today, thousands of people miss him as we remember this great star who dies on 29th November due to Cancer! Here Comes the Sun was a number that made me hum all day long.



You know what? George Harrison became a lifelong devotee of Hindu religion, Krishna consciousness and Vedic philosophy! He had song writing talents and a great Guitar player. He did a large scale concert for the war torn Bangla deshi kids. Cloud Nine was Harrison’s most Beatlesque solo record.

George Harrison died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001, at a friend’s home in Los Angeles at the age of 58 years old. Exactly a year later, Eric Clapton and Olivia Harrison organized The Concert for George - a tribute performance that involved the remaining ex-Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and I believe, Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar also been a part of it. Proceeds went to Harrison’s Material World Charitable Foundation, which he’d founded back in 1973.
