George Harrison was always known as the quiet Beatle As part of the biggest band in pop history; he took a back seat to Paul McCartney and John Lennon; but his talent shone through in the composition of classic songs such as Something and Here Comes The Sun. In his solo career he occasionally threatened to eclipse both John and Paul on the world stage; and he joined forces with Bob Dylan; Tom Petty; Roy Orbison and Jeff lynne to create the massively succsessful supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.However; the success of his professional life was often met by turmoil in his private life; and the loss of first wife Patti to best friend Eric Clapton; the traumatic attempt on his life by a knife wielding intruder and his final struggle against cancer meant that George Harrisons life was nothing if not dramatic.Bestselling author Marc Shapiro has exclusively interviewed friends and former colleagues of the enigmatic guitar legend. This revealing biography reaffirms Harrisons importance as an innovative and hugely talented musician and shows that; as a member of the most important band ever; as well as in his multi-faceted career after the Beatles; George Harrison was no ordinary man.

Fascinating how these wondrous talents and egos could co-existand thrive! The Planets were aligned on Broadway in the 60s! The section on dubbing voices and why stand out to me.Possibly a little pricey for the size of the Book itself - but I quibble! Enjoy!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. it was okBy Kid Reviewer KatThis book is for someone who loves to research about musicals. I have actually performed in West Side Story.
