McCartney was the only successful Beatle after the break-up. George nor John never came close to writing as many hits or selling as many records. Don’t get me wrong they were both great writers they just couldn’t keep up with Paul.

Yeah, but neither would have stooped so low as to actually record, not only one, but two duets with Michael Jackson.

Would it be fair to say that George Harrison had a lot of material written while the Beatles were still officially together that got released early in his solo career? Getting his stuff onto Beatles albums was part of the problem since there's only so many tunes that get picked for album release. It seemed to me that he did have some early solo success -- just not as big as Paul's.
