Something by The Beatles B-Flat Trumpet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1621984

"Something" is a song recorded by British rock band The Beatles. It was released by Apple Records as a single from the Abbey Road album in October 1969. Written by vocalist and guitarist George Harrison, it was the first composition by the member to be released as a single by the band and, along with his other contribution to the album, "Here Comes the Sun", is seen by music historians as the beginning of Harrison's rise as a songwriter to the level of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, who exerted great influence on the group's repertoire. Two weeks after the album's release, the song was released as a double A-side single, along with "Come Together", making it Harrison's first composition to be released as an "A-side". It was the first time in the UK that the band had released a single containing tracks already available on an album. Although its commercial performance was affected by this, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, as well as the charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and West Germany, in addition to reaching number 4 in the United Kingdom.
