Shane...the best Western ever made and ever will be made...

The Shangri-Las...an innovative girl group who influenced future girl groups and rockers...

From the Revolver album...Taxman...Written by G Harrison and lead vocal. As the Beatles' lead guitarist, George Harrison never played an unnecessary note. In his solos and fills, he prized clarity and concision above all things. But every note made history, from the Cavern Club R&B frenzy of his breaks in "I Saw Her Standing There" to the hallucinogenic splendor of his contributions to Revolver and the matured elegance of his work on Abbey Road. John Lennon and Paul McCartney dominated the Beatles' revolutionary course through 1960s pop, but Harrison defined the musical character of those innovations in his explorations of studio technology, tonal color and Indian scales. At the same time, he never strayed from the terse, earthy qualities of his first love, 1950s rockabilly, and his biggest idol, Sun Records star Carl Perkins. Harrison's final album, Brainwashed ? recorded in the years before his death from cancer in 2001 ? features some of his finest twang. Rolling Stone

Stickin' with the George theme...I really like The Beatles' Help album and this song is one George did I really like...

Glad you liked it...he was/is a great guitarist and song writer and was the glue that held the Beatles together in many ways... Now, this thread is wide open and I like that... Post away and let it rip....

One of my favorites from the quiet Beatle. He was known for his precise and efficient use of the guitar and this song proves it. Not showy but very real... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsBe1B8jvSY

My name ain't that at all..not even close..... Of course, I'm a gentleman who would have been totally appropriate with her and that would entail a courting process, (all women love to be courted and I love to do it) that at the end of the day would be an overwhelming affirmative from her regarding my courtship...
