Las influencias musicales más tempranas de Harrison incluyeron músicos como Big Bill Broonzy, Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry y Ry Cooder. En 1965, fue pionero en introducir música hindú en occidente a través de instrumentos como el sitar, que tocó en canciones como «Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)» y «Within You Without You». Harrison mantuvo también un especial interés por la cultura y religión hindú a través del movimiento Hare Krishna e introdujo a sus compañeros de The Beatles en la filosofía oriental a través del maharishi Mahesh Yogi, determinante en la evolución musical del grupo desde la grabación de The White Album (1968). Harrisons earliest musical influences included Big Bill Broonzy, George Formby and Django Reinhardt; Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry and Ry Cooder were significant later influences. By 1965 he had begun to lead the Beatles into folk rock through his interest in the Byrds and Bob Dylan, and towards Indian classical music through his use of the sitar on Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). He developed an interest in the Hare Krishna movement and became an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism, introducing them to the other members of the Beatles and their Western audience by incorporating Indian instrumentation in their music. After the bands break-up in 1970, Harrison released the triple album All Things Must Pass, from which two hit singles originated. He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Ravi Shankar, a precursor for later benefit concerts such as Live Aid. Harrison was a music and film producer as well as a musician; he founded Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founded HandMade Films in 1978
