the Bengali musician who inspired George Harrison's song "Bengla Desh" was a composer of what kind of music>
Hindustani classical music
Ravi Shankar
Ravi Shankar, KBE (] ; 7 April 192011 December 2012), born Rabindra Shankar Chowdhury, his name often preceded by the title Pandit ('Master'), was a Bengali Indian musician and a composer of Hindustani classical music.
 He was one of the best-known exponents of the sitar in the second half of the 20th century and influenced many other musicians throughout the world.
Bangla Desh (song)
"Bangla Desh" is a song by English musician George Harrison.
 It was released as a non-album single in July 1971, to raise awareness for the millions of refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan, following the 1970 Bhola cyclone and the outbreak of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
 Harrison's inspiration for the song came from his friend Ravi Shankar, a Bengali musician, who approached Harrison for help in trying to alleviate the suffering.
 "Bangla Desh" has been described as "one of the most cogent social statements in music history" and helped gain international support for Bangladeshi independence by establishing the name of the fledgling nation around the world.
 In 2005, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan identified the song's success in personalising the Bangladesh crisis, through its emotive description of Shankar's request for help.
Deep Blue (song)
"Deep Blue" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side to his 1971 charity single "Bangla Desh".
 Harrison wrote the song in 1970, midway through the recording sessions for "All Things Must Pass", and recorded it in Los Angeles the following year while organising the Concert for Bangladesh.
 The composition was inspired by the deteriorating condition of his mother, Louise, before she succumbed to cancer in July 1970, and by Harrison's feelings of helplessness as he visited her in hospital in the north of England.
 Given the subject matter of his lyrics, "Deep Blue" also served to convey the suffering endured by the millions of refugees from war-torn Bangladesh in 1971, as sickness and disease became widespread among their makeshift camps in northern India. If You Believe (George Harrison song)
"If You Believe" is a song by English musician George Harrison from his 1979 album "George Harrison".
 Harrison began writing the song with Gary Wright on New Year's Day 1978 and finished the lyrics a month later while in Hawaii.
 The song appears as the final track on "George Harrison".
 Its lyrics are a statement on the power of faith to bring about a desired outcome. I Live for You
"I Live for You" is a song by English musician George Harrison originally recorded during the sessions for his "All Things Must Pass" triple album in 1970.
 Long available on bootlegs, the song was finally released officially as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary reissue of "All Things Must Pass" in January 2001.
 The released recording features only Harrison's lead vocal and Pete Drake's prominent pedal-steel guitar from the 1970 album sessions, with all other instruments overdubbed by Harrison and his son Dhani in 2000.
 Despite the wealth of unreleased material recorded for "All Things Must Pass", it was the only new song included with the album's 2001 reissue.
 Music critics recognise "I Live for You" as one of many George Harrison compositions that can be interpreted as both a traditional love song and a devotional song. The Apple Years 1968–75

</ref> The final disc is a DVD containing a feature titled "The Apple Years", promotional films from some of his previous posthumous reissues, such as "The Concert for Bangladesh", and other video clips.
 The box set marks the first time that the "Dark Horse" and "Extra Texture" albums have been remastered since their 1992 CD release. Far East Man
"Far East Man" is a song written by English musicians George Harrison and Ronnie Wood, each of whom released a recording of the song in 1974.
 Wood's version appeared on "I've Got My Own Album to Do", his debut solo album, and Harrison's on "Dark Horse".
 Their only official songwriting collaboration, "Far East Man" is an affirmation of friendship in the face of life's obstacles and musically reflects the two guitarists' adoption of the soul genre.
 Written mostly by Harrison, the composition has been interpreted as a restatement of the humanitarian message expressed in his 1971 single "Bangla Desh", and a tribute to Indian musician Ravi Shankar. The Concert for Bangladesh (album)
The Concert for Bangladesh – originally titled The Concert for Bangla Desh – is a live triple album by George Harrison and celebrity friends, released on Apple Records in December 1971 in America and January 1972 in Britain.
 The album followed the two concerts of the same name, held on 1 August 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden, featuring Harrison, Bob Dylan, Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell and Eric Clapton.
 The shows were a pioneering charity event, in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War, and set the model for future multi-artist rock benefits such as Live Aid (1985) and the Concert for New York City (2001). George Harrison – The Vinyl Collection
