George Harrison
With the instrumental soundtrack "Wonderwall Music", he released the first solo album by a Beatles member in 1968. The combination of Indian influences with Western pop music shaped his solo work, as did later chart successes such as "My sweet Lord". Harrison was not only a songwriter, but also played a significant role in the production of his albums.
George Harrison – Sound & Production Style
His solo recordings are characterised by the use of Indian instruments such as sitar and tabla, combined with classic rock and pop arrangements. The production of his early solo albums often involved musicians like Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr. Harrison worked with producers such as Phil Spector, who brought the Wall of Sound style to "All Things Must Pass" in particular. The releases appeared mainly on Apple Records and later on Dark Horse Records.
