I don't know any of his solo stuff, but he is by far the most underrated Beatle. He seems to possess so much talent, but always got overlooked by John and Paul.
I don't even count Ringo. Ha!

You know,he did live a bit in their huge shadow during the Beatles era.But his talent couldn't be denied and he wrote some wonderful post-Beatles music.  |

I'm the same way with I've Got My Mind Set on You. It's a good song, but there was a point right around the time it was popular when I did begin to grow a little tired of it from radio overplay. |

Blow Away - I never hear it on the radio either, even on the Timeless station, and I can't understand why that is. It's a great song that definitely deserves to be played more often. I would love to see the All Those Years Ago video - hopefully it will pop up on VH-1 classic one of these days. LOL about the CD!   I know - I'm still catching up from holding out on buying CDs so long. |
