After the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, George started writing more songs than could be fitted onto the albums so that by the time of the split he had built up a collection of songs, some used on his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass. The album, released in 1970, contains the two-time number one hit, "My Sweet Lord".
Harrison is also credited for creating music benefits, notably the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. Harrison played beside Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, and Leon Russell to a crowd of 40,000 in Madison Square Garden, New York. The show raised over $240,000 benefiting the George Harrison Fund for Bangladesh relief.
Harrison went on to release several successful solo albums, and in the late 1980s collaborated with Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, in a group called Traveling Wilburys. The group released two albums. Later, Harrison reunited with the other two surviving Beatles, after John Lennon's murder in 1980, to produce two final Beatles records, "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" featuring the voice of Lennon, taken from home demos provided by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. The three Beatles also co-wrote a massive autobiography and television special, both titled "The Beatles Anthology."
Before his death, Harrison conceived of a Cirque du Soleil show, "Love," featuring remixes of Beatles music which were overseen by Beatles producer George Martin.
Harrison died on November 29, 2001 after a battle with cancer, leaving behind a wife and son, Olivia and Dhani Harrison. His last album, Brainwashed, was released posthumously and featured the single "Any Road".
A benefit concert in Harrison's memory was played on 29 November 2002 at the Royal Albert Hall. The star-studded event (featuring Eric Clapton and Monty Python, as well as former band mates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) was released on the DVD double-album, Concert for George.

George Harrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me into your heart
Let me know you, let me show you
Let me roll it to you
All I have is yours
All you see is mine
And I'm glad to hold you in my arms
Let me say it, let me play it
Let me lay it on you
Let me know you, let me show you
Let me grow upon you
All I have is yours
All you see is mine
And I'm glad to hold you in my arms
I'd have you anytime
Let me in here, I know I've been here
Let me into your heart
The lyrical content of the song "I'd Have You Any Time" by George Harrison is about a person desiring to be let in to someone's heart. The lyrics emphasize the desire to know and show the other person affection. Throughout the song, the person is offering themselves entirely for the chance to be with the other person. The repetition of the lines "Let me know you, let me show you" and "Let me in here, I know I've been here" highlights the desperate need to be understood and loved.
The song seems to be directed towards a person that the singer already knows and has been with before. The line "All I have is yours, all you see is mine" seems to suggest that the person wants to give everything in their possession to the other person. The desire to be with the other person is so strong that the singer is asking the person to let them in even though they have already been there. The song ends with the repetition of the line "Let me into your heart," which emphasizes the centerpiece of the song- the singer's desire to be with the other person on a deeper level.

So true David. One best friend followed Paul and Wings. Another went with John and Yoko.
I was already with George when he hooked up with Ravi Shankar during the Beatles heyday. Bengladesh, 33 1/3, All Things Must Pass, etc, etc.....
