It was also George who brought Eric Clapton into the fold, along with Billy Preston and, of course, Ravi Shankar and the sounds of Indian classical music. He was their mod brand leader and also the man who introduced the others to a serious love for Harry Nilsson, the acid sounds of the West Coast, and a proper evaluation of Bob Dylan, with whom Harrison became great friends and a collaborator. George was also fundamental to The Beatles’ look and style, turning them into fashion icons. From his first song to appear on a Beatles album, ‘Don’t Bother Me’ (from the band’s second album, With The Beatles), through the sublime ‘Something’, to the towering achievements of All Things Must Pass and beyond, he consistently proved himself a wonderful lyricist and tunesmith. Perhaps, above all else, George was a great songwriter.
