Yesterday, after I had published my Saturday post, I learned that yesterday would also have been musician George Harrison's 80th birthday.
The Beatles were "the" group of my childhood, and George Harrison was one of who we called "The Fab Four". Even after they broke up in 1970, they all went on to have individual careers in music.
Here's a Rolling Stones tribute to the man known as "The Quiet Beatle", who also was my personal favorite as a young girl growing up in the 50's and 60's. Harrison died from lung cancer on November 29, 2001 at the age of 58.
Here are a couple of my personal favorites of his.
What Is Life
Here Comes the Sun (a live performance)
Join me again tomorrow for another episode of Music Moves Me, and even more music.
...I must be an outlier, the Beatles were never favorites of mine.
ReplyDeleteI was in grade school when they hit the US. I loved the Beatles.
ReplyDeleteHe was the one who didn't get talked about nearly as much as the others. I guess that's still true. He was the handsome one! I certainly know their music, but The Beatles was never one of my favorite bands.
ReplyDeleteHe died too young…
ReplyDeleteLove George Harrison music there
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Beatle. Gone too soon.
ReplyDeleteHe died at 58?!? I think I knew that at the time, but wow. That was too young.
