Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
Often referred to as "The Quiet Beatle", George Harrison was a pivotal figure in shaping the band's sound. Although initially overshadowed by the prolific songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Harrison proved to be a talented composer in his own right. His contributions became more prominent in the later years of The Beatles, as his songwriting evolved from simple love songs to explorations of themes such as spirituality and Eastern philosophy.
