George was the “Quiet Beatle” and the most underrated. John and Paul ignored a lot of his work. The end result was the seminal triple album “All Things Must Pass.” In 1971, he put together the first major rock benefit concert for Bangladesh. He produced films and recorded into the 80s. By the late 80s, George was everywhere. His “Cloud Nine” album with hits such as “Got My Mind Set On You” was a blockbuster and he joined the Traveling Wilburys with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. George passed in 2001 from lung cancer and posthumously released the well received “Brainwashed.” His son Dhani continues the Harrison legacy as a performer in his own right.
