George Harrison was a British rock guitarist, singer-songwriter, and film producer. Born on February 25, 1943 in Liverpool, England, he is best known as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. In addition to his musical talents, Harrison was also an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism. He introduced this interest to the other members of The Beatles and even traveled with them to Rishikesh, India in 1968 to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Throughout his life, Harrison embraced the Hare Krishna tradition and became a lifelong devotee.

In recognition of his contributions to music, George Harrison was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 as a performer. He was also honored by being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) along with The Beatles in 1965. Additionally, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame posthumously in 2009.

George Harrison had two marriages during his lifetime. He was married to Pattie Boyd from January 21, 1966 until their divorce in 1977. Afterward, he married Olivia Arias on September 2, 1978 until his death. Together with Olivia Harrison, he had one son named Dhani Harrison.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

Over a period of decades, George Harrison earned a reputation as one of the most enigmatic and creative individuals born to rock and roll. As was the case for every former Beatle, George’s disentanglement from the group identity was slowed by the world’s abiding and sometimes-obsessive love for the Beatles as a singular entity. But, as the 1970 release of his epic All Things Must Pass revealed, here was a man with a story all his own. Songs like “My Sweet Lord” and “What Is Life” were tucked into a vast collection that remains one of the great works of the album era. Today George is remembered as one who followed his passions to remarkable conclusions, a man of paradox whose unusual balance of spiritual devotion, wry humour, and true compassion touched the lives of many.
