George Harrison rose up to the challenge as one of the prolific songwriters amid the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. But being inside one of the greatest bands of all time whose songs are still listened to this day, Harrison struggled to find a spot where he can be recognized for his talents in writing hit songs.
George Harrison Began to Develop His Talents for Songwriting Inside His Time with the Fab Four
Harrisonโs more introspective, thoughtful attitude was mirrored in his iconic songs he created throughout his 11-plus years with John Lennon and Paul McCartney and after the band broke up. Hisย songs are characterized by a sparse simplicity that belies his considered compositional choices. Inside their second album, With the Beatles (1963), Harrison penned his first-ever song, โDonโt Bother Me.โ The song was conceived at a time when a sick George was bedridden; with his guitar, George began to pen its arrangement and lyrics โas an exercise to see if I could write a song.โ
Harrison had Written a Lot of Classic Songs Inside The Beatles, But It Would Take a While For Him To Land One On the Top Spot
After a while, the shy Beatle began to pen some underrated Beatle classics, such as โTaxman,โ โWithin You Without You,โ and โI Me Mine.โ Moreover, he sealed his name and status with hits such as โMy Guitar Gently Weepsโ and โHere Comes The Sun.โ But the real deal of all time was when he wrote โSomething,โ a love song that Frank Sinatra dubbed as the โgreatest love song of all time.โ
โSomethingโ shared the bill with Lennonโs โCome Togetherโ as a double A-side single. In terms of airplay and sales, the latter did better, while โSomethingโ nevertheless topped the US Billboard Hot 100.
Harrison Scored More No. 1โs Post Beatles
Harrison had 15 songs appear on the Hot 100 over the course of his solo career, with five of those making the top 10 and three reaching the top spot. His first single, โMy Sweet Lordโ/โIsnโt It a Pity,โ topped the charts for four consecutive weeks in 1970โ1971. Harrison was the first Beatle to have a solo single at the top of the Hot 100 with that one.
Both โGive Me Love โ (Give Me Peace on Earth)โ and โGot My Mind Set on You,โ were also no. 1 singles โ the latter, the final one to be scored by a former Beatle.
