"Beautiful Girl" is a song by English musician George Harrison released on his 1976 album Thirty Three & 1/3. Harrison begun writing the song in 1969 and considered recording it for his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. In its finished, 1976 form, the lyrics of "Beautiful Girl" were inspired by Harrison's second wife, Olivia Arias. The recording features musical contributions from Billy Preston, Gary Wright and Willie Weeks. Music critics have noted aspects of the Beatles' mid-'60s sound in "Beautiful Girl"; author Nicholas Schaffner described the song as "a great lost Rubber Soul classic"

n his 1980 autobiography, I, Me, Mine, Harrison states that he began writing "Beautiful Girl" during sessions for singer Doris Troy's eponymous solo album on Apple Records,[2] recording for which commenced in October 1969.[3] Harrison co-produced the album with Troy, and one of the musicians who contributed to the sessions was Stephen Stills,[4] whose "very good" 12-string acoustic guitar Harrison borrowed one evening, during which he came up with the tune to "Beautiful Girl".[2] Harrison's inspiration for the song's lyrics was his wife, Pattie Boyd, but he was unable to write more than a single verse, which begins

After trying out the song at the start of production for All Things Must Pass in May 1970,[6] a month after the Beatles' break-up,[7] "Beautiful Girl" "sank back into the distance", according to Harrison.[2] He returned to the composition in 1976,[8] by which time he had split with Boyd and was living with Olivia Trinidad Arias, his future wife.[9]

Harrison met Arias in October 1974,[10] at a party in Los Angeles, shortly after Boyd had left him for his friend Eric Clapton.[11] Harrison had spoken to her frequently throughout that year, however,[12][13] since Arias was working as a secretary for A&M Records, and by extension, for his recently launched Dark Horse record label.[6][14] Intrigued by their daily phone calls, Harrison asked a friend who was visiting A&M's offices to try to obtain a photo of her.[12] Their eventual meeting constituted "the much-fabled 'love at first sight'", according to Beatles author Robert Rodriguez, and the couple "became inseparable".[12] As well as accompanying Harrison throughout his ensuing North American tour with Ravi Shankar,[15] Arias's "dusky Mexican features", in the words of Nicholas Schaffner, "grace[d] the label" of his Dark Horse album, released in December 1974.[16] Like Harrison, Arias was dedicated to a spiritual path aligned with Hinduism, meditation and yoga,[17][18] and her presence helped him overcome the fallout following that controversial tour,[19] particularly his continued alcoholism that led to a near-fatal bout of hepatitis in mid 1976.[20][21]

In I, Me, Mine, Harrison acknowledges that when finishing the lyrics to "Beautiful Girl", he "related it then to Olivia".[2] Harrison biographer Ian Inglis recognises some of the lines in the newly written second verse as both a "fitting description of the freedom and relaxation that had replaced the tension and constraints of his previous life", and an obvious example of Harrison's gratitude to Arias:[22]

Never seen such a beautiful girl

Got me quickly untied

Calling to me she made me realize

...

She has always been there

A lover needed for this soul to survive.

Harrison's musical biographer, Simon Leng, views the structure of the song as typical of its composer's style, where, as in "Isn't It a Pity", "Beware of Darkness" and "Give Me Love", the chorus and verse are one and the same.[23] "On 'Beautiful Girl'," Leng writes, "the main musical hook comes with the first line of the piece, and all the musical themes head back inexorably to that resolution."[24] These themes include the "attractive, rising" bridge sections that lead to a "clever descending series of guitar runs" returning to the verse-chorus.[24]

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine in early 1979, by which time he and Arias were married and the parents of a newborn son, Dhani,[25] Harrison further acknowledged Arias' positive influence on his life when discussing the despondency behind his Dark Horse song "Simply Shady": "I wasn't ready to join Alcoholics Anonymous or anything – I don't think I was that far gone – but I could put back a bottle of brandy occasionally, plus all the other naughty things that fly around. I just went on a binge ... Then I met Olivia and it all worked out fine."[26] Other Harrison love songs dedicated to Arias include "Dark Sweet Lady"[27] and "Your Love Is Forever",[28] both released on the 1979 album George Harrison.
