    Paul is one of those individuals who just IS music incarnate. Mozart, Hendrix, Prince, Karen Carpenter, Brian Wilson. Oh, Aretha Franklin...The truly great are uncommon, but not hopelessly rare to find. I loved how "they" paid tribute to Paul in the documentary on Sound City recording studio. What a great flick.

    To be fair, George has a bit of a John-style inflection in his voice, especially here. (Must be that Liverpudlian accent ) It's easy to mistake George for John as a n00b until you get an ear for George's voice. I know I did.

    Deep, sweet n sad George is on vocals and guitar. This song, which is about his then wife Pattie Boyd, blew Lennon and McCartney's mind when George Harrison brought it in. When high tone people like Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee, O Jays, Isaac Hayes, King Curtis, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles... are singing it, you know you wrote a banger. Currently there are 628 recorded versions of it.

Eric Clapton also wrote five songs about Patty Boyd, 'Layla", 'Wonderful Tonight,' 'She Waiting,' 'Old Love' (my favorite), and 'Bell Bottom Blues.'

    Paul said the two best songs on this album were George's, "Something, and Here Comes the Sun" And yes they recorded Let It Be First but they were so disillusioned they didn't release it and were about to break up the band, but John and Paul called George Martin and said we can't go out like this so they recorded Abbey Road. But timewise AR was released first then Let It Be.

    Great bass playing by Paul. George said Paul's bass line was a bit too busy for George's liking. It's the perfect formula that made them so great. The contributions that each made on the others songs is what put them in a class by themselves. On the opening track come together it was Ringos drum pattern and Paul's bass playing again that made the song. John's original arrangement had a much faster tempo. Paul suggested slowing it down and giving it a "swampy" bass line and feel. Add in Ringos 100% perfect and memorable drum pattern and you get The usual Beatles platinum standard! On the track Something it was George's soulful,bluesy guitar and Paul's bass playing that carried the song and compliments eachother perfectly! Pure Beatles fire!

The table was set for them by what went before, and there can never be another table set like that one so it follows there can never be another Beatles. They were absolutely right for their, which was also my, time. At 79 I am so thankfully I came along during the period I did. Probably America's golden age, but certainly music's golden age. Recording tech was just coming fully into it's own at that time and they just carried it forward like no one else. I loved them.

    Guitarist Nerd moment... the solo was played on a 57 Les Paul in the Rhythm "neck" pickup position through a Fender amp. Due to a lack of remaining recording tracks on the 8 track master recording machine, I believe George had to play the solo live along with the backing orchestra. The Les Paul later became famous as "Lucy", she's cherry red in color and it was also the guitar Eric Clapton used to record the solo for While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The solo is often quoted as one of the best of all time. Lucy is still in the family collection.

    There are moments in songs over the years that are so painfully beautiful, you physically feel the bittersweet ache. For me it doesn't happen often, but the vocal harmony of "and all I have to do is think of her" has always melted me. George gets my vote for best love song ever as well as best pop song ever with "Here Comes the Sun."

    If you watch the three-part documentary by Peter Jackson (director of "Lord of the Rings" and also the Beatles' "Now and Then" video) called "The Beatles: Get Back," you'll see the day George brought this partially finished song to the rest of the band to be completed. George hadn't finished the lyrics, so John helpfully suggested inserting nonsense lyrics like "attracts me like a cauliflower" until the right lyrics came to him. The whole documentary is riveting, as you feel like a fly on the wall while songs for two of the greatest albums of all time-"Abbey Road" and "Let It Be"-are recorded. It's more than 9 hours, but worth every minute. Besides their own songs, the various band members play all or part of many other songs in different styles, including blues and rockabilly. I counted at least 200. I came away impressed not only by their deep musical knowledge but by John's guitar skills, which I had never really appreciated.

    George lead singer, guitar parts, and wrote the song. It is about his wife Patti Boyd, who Eric Clapton was in love with and finally got away from his best friend George in the 70s and married. But before he got her, he got a heroin addition over her and wrote Layla about her (i.e., Layla is Patti Boyd) as well as many of the "and other assorted Love Songs" which is the extended title of the "Layla" album with Derek and the Dominoes. A great album with alot of anguish throughout and great playing--I recommend "Have you ever loved a women" --Eric on lead vocal and guitar, slide guitar is Duane Allman, and also "Why does love got to be so sad?" from the album.

    George's masterpiece! I think the single of of this record were "Come Together" and JOHN insisted that "Something" was the B-side. I also think it was the first time ever that Paul's song was not the other side..? Gives me goosebumps the second Paul's bass kicks in...SO amazing. The Beatles final record and none of them were even 30 yet.

    You say Abbey Road is two for two? Just you wait! Between Abbey Road and Tommy, you guys have hit musical gold. Both albums are from musical geniuses at the top of their game. Yeah, The Beatles recorded Let It Be first, and Apple wasn't sure how to finish the production--they eventually had Phil Spector do a controversial job, eventually releasing it after Abbey Road. Then the lads asked George Martin to produce one last, traditional, Beatles studio album and here it is--a masterpiece of masterpieces. George wrote and sang this masterpiece, and had tried for years to get the band to record it. Don't worry, in time you will be able to recognize George's more nasal and less forceful voice. Lennon had a classic rock voice that he could scream and shred. Paul's harmonies and loving, walking, melodious bass, Ringo's drumming, George Harrison's vocals and writing, George Martin's arrangement and production... perfection. I'm looking forward to re-experiencing it with you.

George also wrote 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which is prob one of my favorites from the Beatles (it's so hard to pick, luckily we can always listen to all their songs anytime). I can't forget the awesomeness of Day in the Life either, a John/Paul written song.

    When it comes to the Beatles, typically whoever wrote it, sang it. George and John sound fairly similar vocally, and it was John who taught George how to sing. In my opinion the best backing vocals of any Beatles song is one that Ringo wrote, and it's "Octopus" Garden". John and Pauls backing vocals are as smooth as velvet on that one, changing Octaves all over the place.

    La & Che, I appreciate that you labeled this video as a, "review", given you both already knew the song. To Che, the lead vocalist and songwriter of this track is, George Harrison. John and Paul pitched in with backup vocals/harmonies. Quick story: George was a big Zeppelin fan, and in 1972 he was talking to Bonzo when he offered his one critique of their music, *"The problem with you guys is that you never do ballads."* Word got back to JImmy Page, and he knew that wasn't technically true, as they had already made a few songs on their first 4 albums that could credibly qualify as ballads, most notably, *"Thank You",* from 3 years earlier. But still, Jimmy took it as a personal challenge to write a ballad for their next album, a tune he named, *"The Rain Song".* As an homage to Zep's most famous fan whose friendly, constructive criticism had inspired the ballad, Jimmy took the opening chord of, *"Something",* and used it as the opening chord of, *"The Rain Song".* Listen to the very beginning of, *Something",* again, you can hear it clear as day.

    Written by George Harrison (who is singing lead here), this is the only song ever recorded by The Beatles that made it to number one on the charts that Paul McCartney and John Lennon had no part in writing. Remember to read to the side two medley as one song for the best experience, starting with "You Never Give Me Your Money"!

    On top of this being the greatest album ever, there is some interesting background to the album cover. One being the man in the background on the right side of the album between Ringo and John . He had just stepped outside of a shop to have a smoke while his wife shopped when they took is shot. He was an American from the Midwest who was on vacation and had no idea what was going on. He was not even aware he was on the cover until years later.
