The Origin Of While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Imagine writing a song when you're in a band with John Lennon and Paul McCartney — and trying to get them to play it. George Harrison, the "quiet" and "shy" Beatle, began to take an interest in writing his own material after the landmark trip to India. One of his first compositions, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" went on to become one of the best Beatles songs, and one of the few hits that weren't written by Lennon or McCartney.
