  In July 1971, George Harrison was at a pivotal moment in his solo career, following the release of his critically acclaimed triple album "All Things Must Pass" in November 1970. This album marked Harrison’s first major solo project post-Beatles and showcased his songwriting prowess, featuring hits like "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life." The live performance of "Here Comes the Sun" at Madison Square Garden during the Concert for Bangladesh was significant, not just for Harrison's artistic expression, but also for his humanitarian efforts; the concert raised funds for famine relief. This event also reflected a transition in Harrison's career, from being part of The Beatles to establishing himself as a solo artist committed to social causes. The proceeds from the concert and subsequent album downloads helped support children in need, reinforcing Harrison's legacy both as a musician and a philanthropist.
