À trois, ils forment le noyau du groupe qui en 1960 est renommé The Beatles et deviendra à partir de 1963, après l'arrivée du batteur Ringo Starr, et sous la houlette de George Martin, un des plus grands phénomènes de l'histoire de la musique populaire du s-|XX.L'influence de Harrison dans la musique des Beatles va croissant au fil des années. Il est tout d'abord le guitare solo|guitariste solo et un des quatre chanteurs du groupe, qui se distingue très vite pour la qualité de ses Harmonie vocalique|harmonies vocales. À partir de 1965, il introduit la philosophie indienne|spiritualité, la musique indienne|musique et des instruments de musique d'Inde|instruments Inde|indiens dans l'univers musical des « Fab Four ». Enfin, il compose quelques-unes de leurs plus belles chansons durant les dernières années du groupe, comme ''While My Guitar Gently Weeps'', ''Something (chanson des Beatles)|Something'' ou ''Here Comes the Sun''. Il est aussi un pionnier dans l'utilisation du synthétiseur Moog dans la musique rock. À mesure que son talent de compositeur s'affirme, sa frustration de se trouver dans l'ombre du tandem Lennon/McCartney grandit, contribuant aux dissensions qui vont conduire à la Séparation des Beatles|séparation du groupe en 1970.Harrison connaît une très belle réussite artistique et commerciale au début de sa carrière solo, avec son triple album ''All Things Must Pass'' et la chanson ''My Sweet Lord''. Il organise en 1971 un The Concert for Bangladesh|concert pour le Bangladesh, le premier gala de bienfaisance|concert de bienfaisance de l'histoire du rock. Il se lance également dans le cinéma, en fondant la société de production HandMade Films, qui produit notamment le film des Monty Python ''Monty Python : La Vie de Brian|La Vie de Brian'', dans lequel il fait une Caméo|brève apparition. Il connaît ensuite des hauts et des bas dans sa carrière solo jusqu'à ce que la parution de son album ''Cloud Nine (album de George Harrison)|Cloud Nine'' (1987), porté par le single ''Got My Mind Set on You'', lui permette de renouer avec le succès commercial et populaire. En 1988, il crée le supergroupe Traveling Wilburys, avec Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne et Bob Dylan, formation qui produit deux albums.Tout d'abord marié, de 1966 à 1977, à Pattie Boyd (qu’il a rencontrée sur le tournage du film ''A Hard Day's Night (film)|A Hard Day's Night''), en 1978 il épouse en secondes noces Olivia Harrison|Olivia Trinidad Arias, avec qui il a un fils, Dhani Harrison|Dhani. Ses apparitions se font rares au cours des années 1990, durant lesquelles il participe au projet ''The Beatles Anthology|Anthology'' des Beatles et travaille épisodiquement à un hypothétique album — finalement publié après sa mort sous le titre ''Brainwashed''. Un Cancer des voies aérodigestives supérieures|cancer de la gorge lui est diagnostiqué en 1997. Fragilisé de surcroît par une tentative d'assassinat dont il est victime en 1999 dans sa propriété, il meurt le 29 novembre 2001 à l'âge de 58|ans.
