At the height of the Beatles' popularity, he was often characterized as the Quiet Beatle, noted for his introspective manner and his growing interest in Hinduism. In the mid 1960s he began playing the sitar, which influenced the sound of the Beatles music in such songs as Norwegian Wood, Love You To, and Within You Without You. His experimentation with the instrument brought him into contact with the sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, who became a close friend and mentor.
It was his meeting with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi that led him first into meditation. In the summer of 1969, the Beatles produced the single Hare Krishna Mantra, performed by Harrison and the devotees of the London Radha-Krishna Temple that topped the 10 best-selling record charts throughout UK, Europe, and Asia. The same year, he and fellow Beatle John Lennon met Swami Prabhupada A.C. Bhaktivedanta, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Soon after, Harrison embraced the Hare Krishna tradition and remained a devotee till his death. While not the primary composer in the group (Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the Beatles' material), as time went on his songs improved greatly and his material earned respect from both his fellow Beatles and the music-buying public.
Notable examples include Taxman, Here Comes the Sun, Something, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps, which was strongly influenced by the music of his friend Roy Orbison and featured a guitar solo by Eric Clapton. After the Beatles split in 1970, Harrison released a number of albums that were critically and commercially successful, both as solo projects and as the member of other groups. After many years of being limited in his contributions to the Beatles' catalog, he unleashed a torrent of material in the first major solo work released after the breakup, the triple album All Things Must Pass.
The album included the number one hit single, My Sweet Lord, although Harrison was later sued for copyright infringement over similarities between My Sweet Lord and the 1963 Chiffons single He's So Fine. Harrison denied deliberately stealing the song, but he did lose the case in 1976; in the ruling, the court accepted the possibility that Harrison had unconsciously taken the Chiffons song as the basis for his own song. Harrison was probably the first modern musician to organize a major charity concert. His Concert for Bangladesh on August 1, 1971, drew over 40,000 people to New York's Madison Square Garden, and raised millions of dollars to aid the starving refugees of Bangladesh.
The concert included other popular musicians such as,, Badfinger. Classical sitar maestro opened proceedings. Harrison continued to issue records throughout the 1970s but successive releases met with dwindling interest and sales.
He formed his own record label, Dark Horse Records in 1974 and issued a limited number of records by performers such as Splinter, Attitudes and Ravi Shankar. He moved his own output to the label in 1976, once his contract with EMI finished. Immediately following the murder of his friend and former bandmate John Lennon, Harrison composed a tribute song to Lennon, All Those Years Ago, which found substantial radio airplay and continues to be a staple of classic rock radio.

But he released no records for five years after Gone Troppo in 1982 was met with apparent indifference. He returned in 1987 with the album Cloud Nine, co-produced with Jeff Lynne and enjoyed a hit (#1 in the U.S.; #2 in the U.K) when his cover version of Got My Mind Set On You was released as a single. The album got to #8.
During the 1980s, he helped form the with,,, and when they gathered in Dylan's garage to quickly record an additional track for a projected Harrison European single release. The record company realised the track (Handle With Care) was too good for its original purpose and asked for a separate album. This had to be completed inside 2 weeks, as Dylan was scheduled to start a tour. He was also involved in film production through his HandMade Films company, providing financial backing for the Monty Python film Life of Brian after the original backers (EMI Films) withdrew because of the supposedly controversial subject matter of the film.
