    George was a damn good friend to have and I only wish I was able to have been one. I can claim to be a devoted fan for my entire life after seeing him on The Ed Sullivan Show In 1964. I love you George.

    George may have been called the quiet Beatle, but he was the one who was open to collaborate with so many other musicians.

    If not for you
    Babe, I couldn't even find the door
    I couldn't even see the floor
    I'd be sad and blue, if not for you
    If not for you
    Babe, the night would see me wide awake
    The day would surely have to break
    It would not be new, if not for you
    If not for you, my sky would fall
    Rain would gather, too
    Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
    I'd be lost, if not for you
    If not for you
    The winter would hold no spring
    Couldn't hear a robin sing
    I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you
    If not for you, my sky would fall
    Rain would gather, too
    Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
    I'd be lost, if not for you
    If not for you
    The winter would hold no spring
    Couldn't hear a robin sing
    I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you
    If not for you

    As a kid, like most,,Paul was my favorite beatle..They were a few years before my time. I was born in 68,,,but still very much popular when I got older,,.after they separated, HANDS down, George trounced all of them,,,and that's saying something...funny thing, the Band didn't realize what they had with George..

    • @Jo-we9ht
      @Jo-we9ht Před 4 lety

      What's with the multiple punctuation marks and why do you say "the band didn't realise what they had with George" ?
      Bit of a sweeping statement and a pretty silly one in most people's opinions I would imagine!

    • @virginiaconner3340
      @virginiaconner3340 Před 2 lety +2

      @@Jo-we9ht Paul and John didn't want George's songs on the Beatles albums. George said he had to push and push just to get one song included because John and Paul would say it wasn't good enough or it wasn't what the album needed, etc. So, yes, John and Paul did not know the extent of George's songwriting talent. George said sometimes he would say he had written a new song and John and Paul didn't even want to hear it. Luckily, George kept at his songwriting and after the Beatles broke up, he had more than enough for his first solo album "All Things Must Pass".

  • @jmkearns-songs
    @jmkearns-songs Před 5 lety +14

    Seeing George support his friend who wrote this song, while he sings it, for some reason makes me cry. The strength, the lack of ego. Bob was not so sure of himself that day. Bob: even his simpler songs have heart and soul, and melodies that stick. George: knew how to be a friend. Great vocal.
