When Frank Sinatra paid tribute to The Beatles with a gorgeous cover of 'Something'
Frank Sinatra called 'Something, The Beatles' iconic ballad, "one of the best love songs I believe to be written in the past fifty or a hundred years.". It's widely regarded as one of The Beatles' most beautiful songs.
'Something' featured on The Beatles' 1969 penultimate album Abbey Road, and has captured the imaginations of listeners ever since.
Famously written by George Harrison, he usually had to tussle with John Lennon and Paul McCartney to get his songs included in the band's albums.
Outstanding songs like 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Something' couldn't be ignored, because of their sheer quality, becoming fan favourites and instant classics.
Given its romantic nature, it was often thought that Harrison wrote the song about his then-wife Pattie Boyd.
