When one of the biggest bands in history, The Beatles, broke up, all the members of the band released solo projects almost immediately. The first of the band to have a number-one hit was a bit of a surprise thought... George Harrison. He ended up having one hell of a solo run but his biggest hit My Sweet Lord would also become his greatest trial. Harrison got sued for sounding too much like another big hit from years before… It was a catastrophic lawsuit that nearly destroyed George and plagued his career for years because it put him in a never-ending bout with writer’s block. And it stopped him from recording for years. But in the end, Harrison would have the last laugh. Rock’s most honest songwriter dealing and allegations of plagiarism... This is a story you have to hear to believe next on Professor of Rock.

Beatles George Harrison grew up in a devout, Catholic home, but when he reached adulthood, he found that the Christian doctrine he was taught as a boy left him unfulfilled. At the height of Beatlemania, George began a quest for enlightenment, and he found it when he discovered the Hare Krishna Movement.
In ’69, with the breakup of the Beatles looming, George met Swami Prahhugpada, the founder of the movement, and that meeting changed his life.
George stated that the meeting with the Swami opened the door to his subconscious, and ignited a creative awakening that foreshadowed the making of “My Sweet Lord,” a manifesto of spiritual unity that was one of the biggest International pop hits of 1971: Overshadowed by the dominance of Lennon & McCartney, Harrison’s prowess as a lyricist & song composition was not widely known. It wasn’t until his songs “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun” were included on the Beatles album Abbey Road, that fans & music critics began to take notice of Harrison’s talents beyond his musicianship. During press interviews in ’69, Harrison proclaimed his desire to make his own recordings.
When McCartney announced that he was leaving the Beatles, and the breakup of the band a foregone conclusion, Harrison committed to creating a solo record. Even though he had recorded the all-instrumental album Wonderwall Music in ’68, and the avant-garde Electronic Sound in early ’69, Harrison had aspirations of putting all of his ideas & passion together with a big producer, and a coterie of vaunted musicians.
George had a ton of material for his new LP, going to back to ’65, including many songs he had written that were rejected by Lennon & McCartney for Beatles records, such as a tune called “All Things Must Pass,” that became the title track to the emergent album: “My Sweet Lord”
