George Harrison's # 1 album meaning the Beatles were over

In 1969, the Beatles had much more to worry about than Yoko Ono. The previous year, John Lennon and Paul McCartney nearly fought a fight with their hands while recording The white album.

Lennon's disdain for "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" was the occasion of this episode in what had become a fractured relationship. But George Harrison had also almost fought John for some of the comments he had made about the group's finances in the newspapers.

Meanwhile, John insisted that Allen Klein take the lead of the group. After George and Ringo sided with John, the three Beatles opposed Paul. In other words, it was only a matter of time before the group broke up.

This left George with something to prove as a solo artist. The years spent sitting in the Empire in the Lennon-McCartney Empire were over. Once he recorded his first successful album, it was virtually impossible for the Beatles to get back together.

"All Things Must Pbad" was ranked first in January 197171.

Although this is clear from the Never mind film that George was pissed by his status in today's group69, we could also see that he would follow the Beatles to the end. (At one point, he tells a very strong man, Paul, that he will do anything he wants to continue the recording.)

When the band broke up officially in April 1970, George went into gear and started recording his first solo album, All things must pbad. This came out at the end of November. In December, he saw his first single, "My Sweet Lord," appear at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The album took the top spot of the Billboard 200 the following week and remained impressive for seven weeks. While Paul had reached No. 1 with his first solo album – timed just before the release of Never mind – George's hit hit was the first to pbad on the # 1 title of a former Beatle.

This quick and giant success meant that George was a free man in more ways than one. He is clearly used to this feeling. More hits and albums will follow in the years to come. In three years, it became unthinkable that he join his former group.

In 1974, Harrison did not see the point of a Beatles meeting.

While Paul has dubiously timed McCartney The album meant that the Beatles had finished, you still heard rumors about a meeting when John and he had settled their differences four years later. But again, they did not stop asking George what he thought about it.

During his tour in 1974, George addressed the issue when the reporters mentioned it. He categorically rejected the concept, saying that everyone "liked being an individual". What he said afterwards makes a lot of sense after digesting the Never mind movie.

"Actually, I would join a band with John Lennon any day, but I could not join a band with Paul McCartney," he said. "It's nothing personal, it's just from a musical point of view." (Maybe that was a little staff.)

After All things must pbad, George's The concert for Bangla Desh (1972) Record won the Grammy for best album of the year. His next solo work, Living in the material worldhit No. 1 in 1973.

It was a brilliant success, but by the time he got his first hit record, everything had changed for George. And the Beatles fans had to get used to the fact that the band would never meet again. Everything must pbad, he says.
