Best known as lead guitarist of the The Beatles, George Harrisonalso achieved mainstream success as a solo artist. Smothered by the overwhelming songwriting egos of his Beatles band mates, John Lennonand Paul McCartney, Harrison never felt he was able to fully express himself as a member of the band. This along with his distinctive more eastern oriented style of music made sure that most of his vast backlog of songs was never released while he was with the Beatles. As tensions within the Beatles flared towards the end of the sixties, Harrison took the time to compile his solo material, from which he released his first album All Things Must Passin 1970. The album contains the two-time, number one hit, My Sweet Lord, and to this day remains the most commercially successful solo album by a Beatle.

Cheer Down Lyrics
George Harrison
I can see by your grin
That youre trembling within
Its all over town, cheer down
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Dont mind, no frowns, cheer down.
If your hair should fall
If your shares should crash
Youll get by even without getting a rash
Theres no tears to be shed
Im gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down.
When your teeth drop out
Youll get by even without taking a bite
If your dog should be dead
Im gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down.
I want you around, cheer down
