George was my sister's favorite.  He was sweet and shy and appeared to be extremely serious.

Although we know better now, he seemed to be content to give the spotlight to John and Paul.  All of the songs he wrote, but especially the ones towards the end of his Beatles career -- likeSomething and Here Comes the Sun -- showed his potential as a songwriter. 

I often wished I would have been in New York when George decided to give a special concert for Bangladesh.  The album was extremely exciting.  His performance and those of the others was so energized! 

I regretted the fact that he did not continue his musical career in earnest.  By this I mean that unless you were a fiercely loyal fan, you knew very little about the music he was making after the Beatles split up. It is true that he resurfaced from time-to-time prior to the Anthology (as part of the Traveling Wilburys, for instance), but, in my opinion, very little of the music he wrote after his Beatles years measured up to the talent he exhibited on the Abby Road album (although his ardent fans deny this vehemently).

What I have discovered since his death is that he did not take himself or his music too seriously. He showed a sense of humor that was only hinted at during his Beatles years but never fully developed.

Upon his death, various TV shows were dedicated to his memory. It was then that I was able to see what George was all about. His videos often poked fun at his celebrity, which is something that I find rather delightful. I am really pleased with the success of his last album, Brainwashed. It is too bad that George did not live to receive all the accolades himself.
