My Sweet Lord...first #1 US Single in December 1970

George was the first ex-Beatle to have a #1 US single with "My Sweet Lord" off of his double album All Things Must Pass.

It was certified Gold and sold well over a million copies.  However the single wasn't without controversy.  There was a 10 year battle over the musical similarities between his song and The Chiffons' hit "He's So Fine".

Here are some big names that George was always associated with but Eric Clapton,Gary Wright,Ringo Starr,Billy Preston and Klaus Voormann  played on My Sweet Lord.

Coming soon...George amassed a large collection of guitars over his career and his son Dhani is organizing a way for us to view them along with background and history of the guitars.
