From the premiere Beatles biographerauthor of the New York Times bestseller John Lennon: The Life and the millioncopy selling Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generationa rare and revealing portrait of George Harrison, the most misunderstood and mysterious Beatle, based on decadeslong research and unparalleled access to inside sources.Despite being hailed as one of the best guitarists of his era, George Harrison, particularly in his early decades, battled feelings of inferiority. He was often the butt of jokes from his bandmates owing to his lowerclass background and, typically, was allowed to contribute only one or two songs per Beatles album out of the dozens he wrote.Now, acclaimed Beatles biographer Philip Norman examines Harrison through the lens of his numerous selfcontradictions. Compared to songwriting luminaries John Lennon and Paul McCartney he was considered a minor talent, yet he composed such masterpieces as While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun, and his solo debut album All Things Must Pass achieved enormous success, appearing on many lists of the 100 best rock albums ever. Modern music critics place him in the pantheon of sixties guitar gods alongside Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, and Jimmy Page.Harrison railed against the material world yet wrote the first pop song complaining about income tax. He spent years lovingly restoring his Friar Park estate as a spiritual journey, but quickly mortgaged the property to help rescue a film project that would be widely banned as sacrilegious, Monty Pythons Life of Brian. Harrison could be fiercely jealous, but not only did he stay friends with Eric Clapton when Clapton fell in love with Harrisons wife, Pattie Boyd, the two men grew even closer after Clapton walked away with her.Unprecedented in scope and filled with numerous color photos, this rich biography captures George Harrison at his most multifaceted: devoted friend, loyal son, master guitar player, brilliant songwriter, cocaine addict, serial philanderer, global philanthropist, student of Indian mysticism, selfdeprecating comedian, and, ultimately, iconic artist and man beloved by millions.
