While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Oh this is a very, very classy song. I just love the feel to this song beginning with the 'ey up' vocal from John after 'Bungalow Bill'.... George's vocal in this song is sublime and Paul's harmony is brilliant. You get the feeling that Paul really helped George out in this song... almost a collaboration in much the same way as he and John worked.... After all this was perhaps only the second George song (after 'Taxman') that either John or Paul took a real interest in!!!!
It also teases you in that if you think if The Beatles had have continued on after Abbey Road, then George's flurry of songs (ie. 'All Things Must Pass' album) would have had that 'Beatle' touch and The Beatles brilliant legacy would have continued in a slightly different, but no less brilliant, vein due to a lower out put from John, the continued red-hot form from Paul and the genuine emergence of George as a 'heavy-weight' in The Beatles' song-writing department!
