Patty Boyd is still kicking. 79 years young. Still beautiful... Great reaction. Thank you ladies!

[@vaughnroycroft999]

Great to have you back! Any song from Abbey Road takes me right back to the summer of '69. An older neighbor boy got the album first, and ALL of us swarmed to their house. The front yard was littered with the bikes of all of us, hastily discarded to get inside for that first listen. This song, simple as it is, sounded so unique to me. The Beatles were still evolving, even as they slid toward their breakup (which I was blissfully unaware of when this came out).

[@cletushouse906]

Of course you liked it. It was The Beatles.

[@rjaraneta913]

Pattie Boyd was George Harrison's wife and recorded "Something" in 1969. Eric Clapton fell for his best friend's wife, Pattie, while she was still married to George and wrote "Layla" in 1970 about his unrequited love for her. George and Pattie separated in 1974 and divorced in 1977. Pattie married Eric in 1977 but divorced him due to his infidelities.

[@graham7924]

One of my Favourite Beatles songs. In My Life is another beautiful song

[@stephenbarnard8672]

I enjoy reading all the other comments and learning so many facts concerning the Beatles and this iconic song. Thanks so much ladies for your reaction. 🥰

[@chuckvelten5337]

Paul's incredible melodic bass playing is completely underappreciated and overlooked on this song.

[@hmm3484]

Hardly overlooked. I see it mentioned quite often.

[@mjames4709]

I'd say completely appreciated!

[@dranet47]

Frank Sinatra loved this song, said it was the "greatest love song written in the past 50 years." He even did a cover of it in 1970. And in 1973 Elvis sang this Beatles song! It was so beautiful - and live. He didn't normally sing Beatles songs, probably only 4 or 5 at most.

[@celt67]

He also said "its the best song Lennon and McCartney has ever written". 😆

[@mgonzales56]

​@@celt67 He wasn't a big fan. Lol.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great song! "Something" is on the Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road". It was written by George Harrison. George also wrote the song "Here Comes The Sun" on the same Abbey Road album.

[@rainerzufall42]

Those two songs, both written by George, were songs, that I liked a LOOOOOT! Great songs! There's something special about his writing, the other songs were good, but they didn't move me as much...

[@stephenhanft1226]

Welcome back Momma Gap and Baby Gap! You both were very much missed. Hopefully, you both are well. "Something" is one of the many great Beatles songs. While he was always in the shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, George Harrison was a great songwriter, too. In my opinion, "Something" is the best song George Harrison ever wrote. This song has been covered by many artists such as the legendary Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley (both versions are excellent). In fact, Frank Sinatra said that "Something" is the greatest love song written in the last 50 years whose lyrics never specifically say "I love you". Coming from Frank Sinatra, that's high praise.

[@mnomadvfx]

You missed the part where Sinatra initially called it the best Lennon/McCartney song he'd every heard 😅 Poor George was so in their shadow with The Beatles that even when he wins he loses.

[@neckapb]

Glad you're back. The song is perfection, and the video is to me too. It has 'Beatles quality' written all over it. Sad to know that one from each of the couples are gone, but the art of the song and the video let them live forever - young, hopeful and happy. 1960s were the pinnacle of the human race, I guess - and they were lucky to be on top in those times.

[@patticrichton1135]

Yes, Linda McCartney, Mauren Cox Starkey (Ringo's first wife and mother of his children), George Harrison and of course, John Lennon are all deceased now.

[@edphs75]

Used this song at our wedding. One of our favorites!

[@nationaltrails9585]

The other half that makes you complete ... A favorite of Frank Sinatra. Eternal. They usually started out with a song, played it for one another, made their suggestions, added to it or took away from it until they arrived at the finished song. Model Patti Boyd played one of the girls on the train in their first movie, A Hard Day's Night (1964). :)

[@willieboy3011]

Hard to understand today how big the Beatles were in the 60s. I never knew who the song was about. Nor did I really care, since for me the song was about the girl with whom I was in love. So glad you are both back.

[@billshine401]

Great reaction from both. Welcome back. I missed you.

[@cspaikido]

Famously this was Frank Sinatra's favorite Beatles song, saying it was the best love song written in 50 years, hilariously he always credited it to Lennon/McCartney.

[@steelers6titles]

All four Beatle wives appear in the video, which is among the last footage of the band together. Paul and John each got married in March 1969.

[@vallanceellis7569]

Surely the greatest band of all time.xx

[@steelers6titles]

James Taylor, who recorded for Apple, had written "Something In The Way She Moves"; it was on his first album.

[@robertworrell6287]

Glad we saw it on KZbin. I think George said it was just something about her.and this did this song a lot of justice. You're both are something. Thanks.Try the album Abbey Road on your own.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Welcome back girls, great reaction to a wonderful song. George Harrison wrote some great songs!

[@MrAL2491]

In fact, Here Comes the Sun would be a great second Beatles song for you to react to!

[@davidcohen7146]

@Generation Gap- Great Reaction here. I love the Beatles. They are the greatest group ever and nobody can touch them. They changed music. Something is one of the all time great Beatle songs. This was one of the few songs he did. The majority Beatle songs are written and sung by either Paul Or John. I have always been a huge Paul fan. You guys need to go down the rabbit hole of them. A few I recommend are Let It Be, Hey Jude, Looking through you, Lose That Girl, Help.

[@coffee-xg6my]

Mama Gap and Baby gap, I'm really surprised no one has put, Eva Cassidy - "Over The Rainbow" into your voting poll yet! That truly boggles my mind! You guys are missing out on something REALLY special if you don't do a reaction to her version of that song. I'm not messin' around here when I say that. Anyone here who has heard it will agree. You need to get that on you roster! There is a b&w live video of her performing it from 1996, the same year she died. Thanks! 🙂

[@clydester2677]

John and Yoko going to their game of thrones party!

[@terryjones8155]

Excellent comments on the Lyrics And pointing out how pure they are, about love not looks 👌😍

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Patti Boyd has a TON of songs written for her!

[@rickc661]

hard to believe 5 years earlier - the flick ' Hard days night ' in the first 5 or 6 min. of that movie, as mentioned - Patti ( the model here) was on the train - it had become a quite different planet. I think about 8 -10 years after this, Ringo , barely seen here, married a Bond film girl. they're still hitched.

[@debjorgo]

Speaking of Frank Sinatra, he sang a song called Linda. It was written in 1946 and a version of it by someone else spent two weeks at number 1 in 1947. "When I go to sleep. I never count sheep. I count all the charms about Linda". This was written about a five-year-old girl named Linda Eastman. She's Paul's wife in this video.

[@realamerican5813]

Excellent! I wasn't sure if you were back or just releasing the shows you already recorded. So glad your back!

[@generationgapreacts]

Yes we are back! “Something” was blocked last week so we wanted to post an extra video for those who didn’t see the Teskey Brothers on Patreon. But now Something was published ☺️

[@BLLee-ws1xk]

Paul said Bill Clinton told him this was his favorite Beatle song. Paul said "that was George's."

[@KevinRCarr]

Welcome back to the music. Great song, loved your reactions, and the sweet story.

[@willyroussel3563]

This album is worth a complete listen. This is coming from someone who lives and breaths Led Zeppelin

[@alanr4447a]

George met Pattie when the Beatles were making their first movie, _A Hard Day's Night._ You can spot her in the film on the train when she says, "Prisoners?" and later on the train she is seen with them, giggling, while they're performing "I Should Have Known Better".

[@keymack2477]

Fun fact #327: This is the only #1 hit song put out by The Beatles that was written by anyone other than Lennon/McCartney!

[@umpdaddy1]

Nice to see you two again. The drama of the love triangle between Boyd, Harrison and Clapton makes for juicy reading. They seemed to have all remained friends through it all, and Clapton arranged the Concert for George to honor him after he passed away.

[@MrDdaland]

One other HUGE song about the Patti Boyd/Eric Clapton/George Harrison "triangle" "Wonderful Tonight" by Clapton- a classic "belly rubber"

[@alvinbuckles9744]

I know I have suggested some songs but to be honest I rather see you doing songs that you have picked because they have personal experience and emotions selected by either of you. After all it is your channel. I have heard many great songs from other people suggesting them but it is not the same as a song from your past and what it means to you.

[@generationgapreacts]

That’s so nice Alvin! Your song requests are great too

[@Alfredo-xf3ml]

Pattie was George's wife but she fely in love with Eric, who was a great friend of George. They did not know how to tell him they were in love. When Pattie left George tolive with Eric, George went to Eric's home, and then took one of the Eric favourite guitars for himself, and told him: Now we are in peace, we can continue being friends.

[@Captwalker70]

I guess all's fair in love and music?

[@clivemason-ms8ju]

'Something' used to be played during the Miss World competition on TV in the 70s and 80s when the winner was being crowned.

[@jerome4631]

You will love "You know my name, look up the number." by the Beatles.

[@EvilTheOne]

This song is like a car racing through a slalom course. It shifts from rock, to a dream-like keyboard passage, to a speed metal bridge, and back to rock. Queen's rock theatrics may be copied, but are unmatched. We all miss you Freddie!

[@JPGR098]

Greatest love song without using the word love!

[@festidious2644]

This was a double sided hit record with Something on side one and Come Together on side two.

[@plefevre]

Right up there with the best Beatles songs.

[@hudsonhollow]

Love is not a decision. It's a condition. A wonderful condition.

[@annforkin8368]

Patty Boyd was his first wife from 1966 to 1977! He married Olivia in 1978 and she is the mother of his only son Dani! George wrote and sang this one!

[@John_Chu]

Side note: George was inspired in part by James Taylor's song "Something in the Way She Moves" which appeared on his debut album in 1968 -- the first artist signed by The Beatles for Apple Records.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Patti Boyd was first married to George Harrison,when Eric Clapton became obsessed with her. She married him years later.

[@bearmanz]

George was married to Patti Boyd at this time. A few years later, she would marry Eric Clapton, who sort of stole her from George. However, George and Eric would remain friends, and they would often perform together from time to time and in concert, all the way into the early 90s. George would remarry Olivia Trinidad, and they would have a son, who grew up to be Dhani Harrison, an accomplished artist in his own right.

[@patticrichton1135]

George even attended Pattie and Eric's wedding. Imagine your ex-husband coming to your marriage to your new husband. George had said, If she doesn't want to be with me, I would rather she be with Eric. Of course, Eric and Pattie's marriage didn't last either.

[@joshdahl4114]

Abbey Road is such a good album!! George’s solo career was amazing as well!! All Things Must Pass was one of his first solo albums. The songs “My Sweet Lord” and “What Is Life” are 2 of the best songs he ever wrote IMO!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Great to see you ladies. Good choice.!

[@steelers6titles]

George Harrison was reaching his songwriting peak as the Beatles were in their death throes as a group. He contributed this, and "Here Comes The Sun", the two best songs on the final album. With "Something", he finally got the A-side of a single. Frank Sinatra praised the song highly, although he got its writer wrong.

[@hookstomper7322]

George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd...What a living doll she was...

[@thomastimlin1724]

Around the same time, in the year1968, before Harrison's Something was written, James Taylor, who before big fame, was in London recording for Apple records under the Beatles supervision, wrote a song Something in the Way She Moves. That appeared on his 1968 debut album for Apple Records, James Taylor. The opening line inspired George Harrison to write the No. 1 Beatles' song "Something". According to James Taylor's stage banter at The Star in Frisco 31 July 2017, this was the song he played for Paul McCartney and George Harrison as an audition before signing with Apple Records. Lesser talents would have written a corny line like "Hey baby, you're really something...." lol.

[@EchoesDaBear]

George could write the most incredible & beautiful songs!! This one, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes The Sun, If I Needed Someone...he's my favourite writer of the four. I know Lennon/McCartney get most of the praise (and no doubt they were amazing), but George could tap into my spirit! Great reaction! Welcome back.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Patti says that in the end it was George who was the love of her life. His indiscretions were difficult for her to deal with.

[@chazblitz]

Nice to see ya back Gap Gals!

[@richelliott9320]

My favorite Beatles song Sinatra loved it too I’ve read

[@ninja_tony]

Aside from being one of my favorite songs ever, I love this video as well! Whoever made the decision to just show each of the Beatles with their partners was a genious. It’s so beautiful seeing them all together in these clips. Also, two parting thoughts about the video, I love how John and Yoko look like they are headed to a Star Wars convention in their long black cloaks lol. And I honestly can’t blame both George and Eric Clapton for being madly in love with Pattie Boyd, just look at how warm and loving her energy is. Yes, she is drop dead gorgeous, but she has a certain spirit that just can’t be put into words.

[@MrAL2491]

A Harrison masterpiece along with Here Comes the Sun from the Abbey Road album.

[@steelers6titles]

They are back.

[@philipdickey6460]

Even Elvis loved The Beatles

[@matthewchance8835]

Great reaction to a great Beatles song. Patti Boyd left George for Eric, what a drag.

[@virginiajohn921]

good to see you again.

[@glennsmusicchannel]

Was BG honest that you'd never heard this song?? I'm glad you got to hear it - it's one of the best George Harrison songs there is - and it beats the pants off "Layla", if you ask me! Welcome back!

[@garylee3685]

You see Patty Boyd, also known as George's wife, Patti Harrison in this video, also the other Beatles wives.

[@edjasper92]

George was a great songwriter in his own right.

[@Eric_L_Laney]

Glad this made it to KZbin because I was able watch it in my TV rather than my phone or laptop. One of my favorite Beatles songs. Made my eyes moist because I remembered what it was like to be in love.

[@slevin6544]

One of the greatest songs every made no doubt

[@wilkibrown6725]

The French have a phrase for something with an intangible quality: 'je ne sais quoi'

[@semmett100]

Frank Sinatra said this was the best love song he had heard in 50 years.Although people say this song was about Pattie in later interviews he said he wrote it about God

[@craigalden9416]

Good things come to those who wait…..George Harrison’s first Beatles A Side …. On their Final Album…. Such a classic song.

[@joyceedwards2708]

That’s Patty Boyd in the video.

[@Rick-or2kq]

It's funny still after all these when I see Yoko I think of the two John left behind for her.

[@James-hd6ez]

Just letting you know the biggest rock band of all time are called "The Beatles "

[@antifax8434]

Sois adorables las dos.

[@39thala]

I assume you ladies knew which one was Patti throughout the video.

[@annforkin8368]

Patty Boyd was married to Eric Clapton from 1979 to 1989!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

George got the vibe of this song from James Taylor /''' Something in the Way She Moves ' / who had just recently singed on the the Apple Label that The Beatles had just stared in 1968 ..They are totally two different songs and are original in their very own style . Something has always been a fav of mine and it usually is for anyone that hears it ..

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

Hi and thanks for this awesome reaction! I want share a #Fact about Abbey Road: it was the last album recorded together as a group on August 20th, 1969 but second-to-last in their discography. In this song, Billy Preston played the organ. Please do more reactions like this.

[@PeterBuwen]

Frank Sinatra hated the Beatles but he was saying that this was the most beautiful love song by Lennon/McCartney he ever heard (not knowing that it was a Harrison composition).

[@crbr1432000]

This was great! I've missed you two and must have missed the reason that I haven't seen you in awhile. Great song and great reaction as usual.

[@stuarthastie6374]

You Were Wonderfull Tonight , also about Patti Boyd.

[@Zentrix-24]

One of my fav George Harrison songs from Abby Road. George was so underrated in early Beatles. George wrote 3 songs about Patti including "Something" if I remember. So glad he's recognized as a premiere writer later on.....Thanks for playing and reacting Mom-ma and Baby Gap. BTW Patti was a model that George married 1966 then divorced later in 1974 and then married Eric Clapton in 1979 then divorced in 1989. Eric's hit "Layla" was about Patti. Your friend GeoB

[@georgereid2369]

Frank Sinatra said this was the greatest love song ever written

[@chrisalldis3375]

RIP Linda Mc Cartney

[@john0597]

Hi ladies again I am sorry about the spelling it's predictive text what I was trying to say is the song Paperback Writer from 1966 also has a music video to it to be honest that's more my favourite but I still think something by George Harrison is brilliant

[@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835]

❤️

[@AH-ly2cq]

Ren, Hi Ren. Just do it. You won't regret it.

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

Is there a bad Beatles track out there, I haven't heard one yet

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

There's a few

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

@Jill Valentin I basically meant their charted music, obviously every band have some right stinkers even the Beatles, maybe I should of worded it better to save the negative few who've nothing else better too do

[@alfredoramirez1022]

More Beatles pls

[@bbqujeh]

It was a beautiful song, sad, but let's remember Yoko broke up the band. As a child of the sixties, the Beatles were considered the greatest rock band at that time. I think one of the first and greatest heavy metal songs from the Beatles was Helter Skelter, Charles Manson and his twisted mind robbed the world of great song.

[@johnnydangerously-m5x]

George wrote this

[@colinperry8824]

Then she ran off with Eric Clapton, they had child together who died after falling out of a window after which Eric wrote the song tears in heaven, so George's love song to his wife had no effect on her.

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

The subtext of the video is in fact separation. All the Beatles are with their own wives, and not with each other.

[@juliedicarlo5544]

I don't know why, but I didn't see any of the video that you watched. I only saw your commentary. It was like it was cut out of your reaction.

[@generationgapreacts]

KZbin removed it :(

[@garyarnett1220]

Patti Boyd Harrison / Clapton has at least 7 songs written to / about her. 3 by George, 4 by Eric. Her younger sister Jenny even had a song written about her "Jennifer Juniper" by Donovan. (Jenny later married Mick Fleetwood.) Ringo's marriage to Maureen would only last a few more years, George and Patti split and she ended up with Clapton for quite sometime. Paul and Linda were together for about 30 years until her passing, and John and Yoko until his death.

[@kenharness7430]

Ringo and Maureen split after she had an affair with George, so in essence everybody got screwed, literally and figuratively. 😅

[@visaman]

If you are interested Frank Sinatra sang Something on one of his TV Specials.

[@davidjenkins1003]

Shirley Bassey's version of this song is definitely worth watching. Shirley's passion at her best.
