\”George Harrison, writer of love songs – in my opinion, some of the best love songs of the period… And what a range he encompassed, from love songs to the social conscience of ‘Taxman’ and ‘Tears of the World’. As I look down the vast output of this man’s songs, my Foreword could turn into Book 3.” – Ringo Starr
