What Is Life (All Things Must Pass, 1970): Beautifully produced by Phil Spector (perhaps the last single he produced with his Wall of Sound effect still at its zenith), this swaying, blaring pop song found itself nicely in Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas' (1990) (Scorsese later directed a worthwhile documentary about Harrison, entitled 'Living In The Material World'). Nevertheless, as religious ballads go, nobody has bettered this song for sincerity or musical beauty. A shiny, shimery acoustic jewel (Harrison, Eric Clapton and members of Badfinger all give their hand at playing acoustics), vocally supported by "the George O'Hara-Smith Singers" (surprise, surprise, Harrison himself overdubbed) and a gentile guitar solo Noel Gallagher later pinched for 'Supersonic', this proved Harrison's most famous and enduring work, somewhat tainted by a court case where Harrison was found to subconsciously borrow from The Chiffon's 'He's So Fine' ( this was in part instigated by Allen Klein, the Beatles erstwhile manager!). My Sweet Lord (All Things Must Pass, 1970): Perhaps the greatest song ever written about God, 'My Sweet Lord' gave Harrison the first no.1 hit any Beatle enjoyed in their solo careers. Releasing eight albums over the course of his career, Harrison wrote a collection of beautiful songs that certainly rivalled (often bettered) the best of the solo Lennon-McCartney material. But where John Lennon and Paul McCartney gave their very best to The Beatles (neither had the tenacity to continue writing at the level of brilliance they brought to the fab four), Harrison found himself in the position where he could prove himself as a songwriter in his own right. Everything written about George Harrison's contribution to The Beatles has been notarised and analysed to death (super guitar play, spiritual searcher, sardonic and grumpy interviewee, underappreciated songwriting genius etc).
