George Harrison: Cloud Nine
Bill Holdship, Creem, March 1988
IN MANY WAYS, George Harrison's kinda had it unfair. Just as Let It Be has probably always been underrated mainly because it was a Beatles LP, Harrison's songwriting's always been a little underrated mainly because he played in a band that included two of the greatest pop geniuses in the history of Western civilization.
