George Harrison's Career Away From The Beatles Started Off With A Lawsuit Defeat Worth
George Harrison was sued for "My Sweet Lord," and saw his bandmates from The Beatles go against him in court.
George Harrison was sued for his song "My Sweet Lord" sounding too similar to "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons.
Harrison claimed he was not aware of the similarity and would have made changes if he had known.
John Lennon seemed to side with The Chiffons, while Ringo Starr defended Harrison in the lawsuit.
Made up of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, The Beatles are the biggest and best band to make it in music. Though their time together was short, the band changed the face of music, leaving a lasting impression on pop culture as a whole.
Eventually, the guys all took to solo careers, and each of them found success. This includes George Harrison, whose double album propelled him to solo stardom, and showed the world that he was an underrated part of the band's success.
