Often overshadowed by the Lennon-McCartney partnership, George Harrison contributed two of his greatest works: "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun," the former becoming the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday."

Abbey Road was the only Beatles album recorded entirely on an eight-track tape machine, rather than the four-track machines used for previous LPs.
