The Beatle George Harrison: the silent genius
When we talk about The Beatles, the first names that come to mind are those of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, for being the main composers and singers of the band, after they probably remember Ringo Starr for their humor and particular personality in the drums and in the biggest case we leave George Harrison, who for his quiet personality, his humility and little desire to be the protagonist unique, sometimes we place him in the shadows of his companions, however, it seems unfair that we normally see it that way, then, I dare to say that he had his own light that differentiated him from others.
THE BEATLES
From left to right: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon
Despite living together with great composers (the best in history for me), George could be up to them, also had nothing to envy at the time of composing, even many of his songs are considered the best of the best group of all time: The Beatles.
Over here I will share some of his songs while he was with the band:

These are some of his best songs with The Beatles, to which I would also add:
- I Need You
- Old Brown Shoe
- Think For Yourself
- The Inner Light
- Only A Nothern Song
George Harrison a genius that was indispensable for the success of The Beatles, his work after the separation of this band takes more strength, a subject that surely will be playing in another of my publications.
