“Something” is the first George Harrison penned track on Abbey Road. It is hailed as one of the greatest love songs of all time by Frank Sinatra, who mistakenly introduced it in live performance as a Lennon-McCartney song.

The song is likely about Pattie Boyd – Harrison’s then-wife (she would go on to get involved with numerous other rockstars, most notably Eric Clapton).

George later denied that the song was about her.

Well no, I didn’t [write it about her]. I just wrote it, and then somebody put together a video. And what they did was they went out and got some footage of me and Pattie, Paul and Linda, Ringo and Maureen, it was at that time, and John and Yoko and they just made up a little video to go with it. So then, everybody presumed I wrote it about Pattie, but actually, when I wrote it, I was thinking of Ray Charles.

The song was released on a single with “Come Together”, peaking at #4 in the UK and #1 in the US.
