Today is the 65th anniversary of the birth of the late George Harrison who distinguished himself as a Beatle, solo artist, and member of the Traveling Wilburys. I think George benefited the most by the breakup of the Fab Four since much of his works were eclipsed by those of Lennon and McCartney. George initiated the idea of a benefit concert in 1971 with the big Concert for Bangladesh with featured Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton among others. Dylan and Harrison were two of the five members of the Traveling Wilburys. Although George has passed away, he left us a large amount of recordings and concert footage.
Below are the lyrics of my favorite George Harrison solo
Sunrise doesnt last all morning
A cloudburst doesnt last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
Its not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesnt last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
Its not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of lifes strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
Its not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away
