Former lead guitarist of The Beatles, George Harrison was also known as a songwriter, actor and film and record producer. He was often called 'the quiet Beatle' and he introduced the other members of the band to Indian mysticism which soon became an obvious influence in their songwriting and musical style; he was an advocate of the Hare Krishna movement.
His career as a solo artist, after the breakup of the Beatles became increasingly angled towards a style that combined the sounds of traditional Indian music and a more electronic/Western atmosphere. He played in lots of different artists' songs during this time and became fully engaged in promoting Indian chanting in the Western world. He died in 2001 at the age of 58.
