@@BuckForearm uneducated, uninformed comment of day goes to…you. What Beatle had the most 1 hits? McCartney Once again, McCartney leads the group with nine number-one charting singles. Perhaps surprising to some is that George Harrison ranks second in the most amount of number-one singles as a solo artist. As previously mentioned, Harrison was also the first Beatle to achieve a number-one single as a solo artist with the double-sided ‘My Sweet Lord/Isn’t it a Pity’.

Hey, just saw this, so pardon the late reply... I don't think you need to worry that this song has been missed by all Beatles fans. Maybe a few. It has been covered over 150 times. Also, Paul McCartney has stated on more than one occasion (including live at a show I attended) that he feels that "Something" is the single greatest song produced by The Beatles. I agree with you on the "beautiful brilliant" part.

Very Nice Bri and Kerry. Since I saw this the first time I ran into all of the Traveling Wilburys videos out there on youtube and was taken at how alike George and Brian are. Both are/were extremely talented singers and guitar players, and both were/are very respectful people, but both who/were highly principled and were not afraid to address critical issues. There are pictures out there of Brian and George together but I have not seen any collaborations with the two of them. If there were none, that's unfortunate. If so I'm sure that Brian looks back at that as a missed opportunity that he would have loved to have been a part of. Who knew that George was only going to be with us for 58 years.... How lucky the world is that we have had Brian for 74 years, and that he is still willing and able to entertain us! Hopefully there will be many more years!

No he didn't. He was fumbling and struggling throughout and the singer had two difficult tasks: 1. To maintain her timing while he fiddled and 2. To compete with his volume and him taking over the performance to be the centre of attention. She did an excellent job with Harrison's classic - despite May. Frankly, if he left the musicians to their job and played bass it would have been far better and allowed the singer's beautiful performance to shine.
