January 21st, 1966

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

1/21/66 – George Harrison marries Pattie Boyd, who he met on the set of The Beatles’ first film, “A Hard Day’s Night,” two years earlier.  Paul McCartney acts as George’s Best Man.  Patti would leave Harrison in the mid-‘70’s for George’s best friend, Eric Clapton, who wrote the song “Layla” about her.  (No grudges here ... Harrison and Clapton remained friends for life ... and even toured Japan together.)
