George Harrison (British singer-songwriter and performer) was one of the four members of the Beatles musical group of the 1960's when they made the big time.

The Beetles song "Taxman", written by George Harrison (with help by John Lennon), appeared on the 1966 album Revolver.
In the song, Harrison sings of the British government collecting a 95% tax on their earnings. This was one reason why they left Great Britain.

This brings up the question of a whether a Biblical tithe should be 10% of the gross or of the net, what is left or something else.

Part of the lyrics to Taxman by George Harrison go as follows.

There's one for you, nineteen for me

Should five percent appear too small

George Harrison (British singer-songwriter and performer) wrote (and performed) the song "What is Life?" in 1971. It was part of the album "All things must pass".

The album included the number-one hit single "My sweet Lord".
Some churches actually sang or played this song which had to do with Eastern Mysticism. The song was involved in a legal battle over copyright infringement from the 1963 Chiffons hit song "He's so fine". Harrison lost the case. The judge ruled he had copied "subconsciously".
