A Tribute to George Harrison

A visionary humanitarian, George Harrison used his celebrity and his music to bring children's needs to a global stage. His legendary Concert for Bangladesh, organized by Mr. Harrison and Ravi Shankar, marked the first time musicians collaborated for a common humanitarian cause. The concert pioneered the all-star rock benefit concert model, which has since been widely emulated for various causes worldwide. Ravi Shankar will attend and Billy Preston will perform a selection of Harrison's songs.

I just wish that the accolades could have come when he was here to see it .
