前披頭George Harrison不當爵士

一家英國報紙報導，已故前披頭合唱團The Beatles團員George Harrison於公元2000年時曾經婉拒領一個皇家勳章，一般認為他拒領這個勳章的原因係因為和他披頭合唱團伙伴Paul McCartney 1997年所獲的勳章相比層級較低，而次年George Harrison就因喉癌去世了。

 

George Harrison 1943年出生於英國利物浦Wavertree，13歲時組過一個The Rebels合唱團，1958年加入John Lennon與Paul McCartney的The Quarrymen合唱團，這個團就是後來的The Beatles，George Harrison是該團的主奏吉它手。

 

1971年，披頭合唱團解散後的次年，George Harrison在紐約麥迪遜花園廣場舉辦了一場孟加拉公益演唱會The Bangladesh Benefit Concerts，為The Beatles這個天團解散後再創話題。

 

1980年代晚期George Harrison曾經加入Traveling Wilburys，這個超級樂團成員每人都有化名，如Bob Dylan叫Lucky，ELO的Jeff Lynne叫Otis，Roy Orbison叫Lefty，Tom Petty叫Junior，George Harrison則是Nelson，他們假扮成兄弟樂團在流行歌壇玩票性的錄過一些歌。

 

George Harrison在The Beatles時期主唱過Something、While My Guitar Gently Weep及Here Comes The Sun等幾首較受歡迎的歌。他個人在排行榜上名次最好的歌是1970年的四週冠軍曲My Sweet Lord，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜上他獲得第231名。
