He had a lot more talent than he was given credit for when the Beatles were a thing that's for sure. I remember on most Albums he might have one or two songs. I think his "All Things Must Pass" album was the best of any post-Beatles album by any of the boys. I have that Album in Hi Def.
Did you see the memorial concert for George. It is a great DVD. There are 2 parts to the concert. One is a tribute by Ravi Shankar conducted by Anoushka Shankar ant the second part a tribute by a large group of artists.

Yes, I've seen it. Great video. Speaking of Ravi Shankar, the great Jazz/Blues singer Nora Jones is actually his daughter.
Forgot to mention that. Watching her conducting it truly amazes me that someone can keep all that in their head . Sever places you can see her point to a musician and count them in while conducting everyone else. That must mean she is keeping track of where that player needs to come in several bars ahead of where they are on the score.

My favorite George song is my favorite Beatles song, "While my Guitar Gently Weeps." The man was an enormous talent.

Let's not forget he had some decent taste in cars too.

And in the Beatle's Anthology, there's a scene where he , Paul and Ringo drive up to George's home in his McLaren F1. Paul looks back at the car as declares, "Cool Motor!"
