George really took a screwing from "a couple of hits wonder group" on his "My Sweet Lord". Ask yourself why would one of the most talented musician and songwriter in the world need to copy anything from another person. He was really the most talented Beatle.

May the Lord above bless all the beatles past and present they are so great. I remember when they began, I Knew they would be here forever, such depth and understanding of life and the world in general. All people love the beatles forever. They are an arcom of peace.

I AGREE, damb sure time somebody appreciates George as a solo artist--however (and I have NOT gotten through the full top 10 list). But what about Paul (McCartney) solo AND with WINGS, Wings played concert for Kampuchea (just one that comes to mind)--He (and Wings) gave a rocking, solid rendition of the Beatles classic "Got to Get you into my Life"--I know it was/is a Beatles #, but he has plenty of solo/Wings hits (too many to list)
All the best--Peace

About time someone mentioned George Harrison's solo contributions. I loved his performance in the Concert for Bangladesh.
