George Harrison was one of rock’s greatest guitarists, yet he spent much of his early career overshadowed and underestimated. Despite writing iconic tracks like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Here Comes the Sun,” he was often limited to just a song or two per Beatles album.
In this comprehensive biography, Philip Norman explores the contradictions that defined Harrison’s life. From his disdain for materialism—despite writing the first pop song about taxes—to his deep friendships, even with those who wronged him, Harrison’s life was full of unexpected twists.
With insights into his spirituality, struggles, and triumphs, this book paints a vivid picture of a complex man who was more than just “the quiet Beatle.” How did Harrison balance his contradictions and become an icon beloved worldwide?
