“With George Harrison, there was a certain awe I had to get past, but I came to understand the specialness of what he brought to the Beatles and to popular music in his solo work. George’s guitar style and sounds are incredibly unique, but it’s important to realize that George was not that much of a jamming soloist, as Eric Clapton was and is. So all George’s unforgettable Beatles solos were very deliberately thought out. He was a craftsman of the highest order and he remains that kind of player in his solo music. The fluid approach he got from India was in songs on ‘George Harrison’, like ‘Dark Sweet Lady’, ‘Love Comes To Everyone’ and ‘Blow Away’, which is a phenomenal pop single. A lot of people don’t realize that ‘Blow Away’ used the rebuilding of Friar Park, the broken-down nunnery that he restored as his family home, as a metaphor for how he had to rebuild his life after the Beatles broke up and his marriage to Patti[e] ended. The song has a brilliant lyric and musical structure. George also brought both a very confident spiritual dimension and a knowledge of world music to pop music that it had never had previously. Things like that take guts and an inner will.” - Russ Titelman, Billboard, June 22, 1996 “Russ Titelman recalls working on Harrison’s eponymous 1979 release, which include the U.S. top 20 hit ‘Blow Away.’ After initial labor at Warner Bros.’ Amigo studio facility, Titelman flew to England to Harrison’s home studio in Henley-on-Thames. ‘I was very jet-lagged. I must have slept for 12 hours,’ he says. ‘The next morning, I started to come awake a little bit and heard someone outside my door singing “Here Comes The Sun.” It was George. That’s how I woke up on my first morning there. He was crouching outside my door, playing the guitar and singing. He was my alarm clock.’”- Billboard, December 15, 2001 (x)

George Harrison, Cloud Nine album cover photo session, 1987; photo by Gered Mankowitz.

“One of the things that did get to me was when George did the backing voices on [‘Here Comes The Moon,’ released on George’s eponymous album, released 1979]. All during the sessions I didn’t really think much about this thing of ‘working with a Beatle.‘ We were too busy for that. But when George and Steve Winwood did those vocal harmonies, I fell out to my chair. I thought, this really is a major talent here, not a Beatle, but just a real talented guy.” - Russ Titelman, Circus Weekly, April 17, 1979

“[George] has a strong personality in his playing. And he also really knows how to put together a record. He’s a very good producer.” - Russ Titelman, Guitar World, December 1989 (x)
