GUITAR SPACESHIP
George Harold Harrison MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English rock guitarist,
singer-songwriter and film producer. He achieved international fame as lead guitarist in The Beatles.
Often referred to as "the quiet Beatle", or "The Dark Horse" Harrison embraced Indian mysticism, and
helped broaden the horizons of the other Beatles as well as their Western audience.  Following the
band's breakup, he had a successful career as a solo artist and later as part of the Traveling Wilburys,
and also as a film and record producer.

Although the majority of The Beatles' songs were written by Lennon and McCartney, Harrison
generally wrote one song per side from the Help! album onwards.  His later compositions with The
Beatles include "Here Comes the Sun," "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." After the
band's breakup, Harrison continued writing, releasing the acclaimed and successful triple album, All
Things Must Pass, in 1970, from which came the #1 single "My Sweet Lord". In addition to his solo
work, Harrison co-wrote two hits for Ringo Starr, another ex-Beatle, as well as songs for the
Traveling Wilburys — the supergroup he formed in 1988 with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and
Roy Orbison.
