He was one of the nicest and most certainly one of the funniest people I have met in this business. He had his moments, we all do, but to portray him as sour or negative or untalented as some have is so far from anything that I ever saw during my time with him, both with The Beatles and afterwards. The other Beatles were funny, but I have to say that he most certainly was the funniest. […] But, of course, George was also Mr. Nice Guy. There was a couple getting married who he had met somewhere along the way. They weren’t famous or even in the music business, just an ordinary couple that George, the most ordinary superstar you’d ever hope to meet, happened to cross paths with. One evening he asked me to record a special message that he made for them, along with him playing them a song. We put it on a cassette and sent it to them so they could play it at their wedding. Who wouldn’t love George?” - Ken Scott, Abbey Road To Ziggy Stardust (2012)“Working with George [Harrison] was always a joy.” - Ken Scott, Premier Guitar, 19 March 2010“[George] was so much more than The Beatles. As a guitarist he eventually got his own unique sound when you could always tell it was him. There are very few guitarists that can say that.” - Ken Scott, Finding Zoso, 4 December 2012 (x) -- source link
