Crescendo

Harrison should be credited with introducing the sitar into Western musical culture when he utilized the instrument during the recording of Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) in 1965. He was also the first of The Beatles to release a solo album. Admittedly, he penned fewer Beatle classics than Lennon and McCartney. This is partially due to the pair having had many years head start in honing their writing craft and partially because they, along with producer George Martin, would rarely give Harrison's songs the attention they deserved. Still, the last half of The Beatles career together saw the release of enduring Harrison compositions such as Here Comes The Sun, Something, Taxman, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. He also enjoyed many solo hit singles after the band's breakup.
