The song was written by (and was a tribute to) George Harrison - The third songwriter in the Beatles. Excellent live performance from a star studded line up.
This Concert For George took place in November 2002, in tribute to George Harrison (formerly of The Beatles and Travelling Wilburys) who passed away in 2001. I recommend you watching the full concert on DVD, it's one of the best and full of great performances of George's songs. It was wonderful seeing all the great musicians who gathered together on the one stage at The Royal Albert Hall, London to pay tribute to their friend.
The history of this song is unusual. Written by George Harrison about his wife, Pattie Boyd, who wound up married to his friend Eric Clapton. It is said 4 songs penned by Harrison were inspired by Pattie and 3 by Clapton ("Wonderful Tonight" is one you may know.)
Stars I saw up there were Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Electric Light Orchestra's Jeff Lynne , & others there to pay tribute to dearly departed George Harrison.

This was from the Concert for George on the first anniversary of George Harrison’s passing. George, the Beatle who wrote, sang and performed it with Eric and Paul on past occasions. Frank Sinatra thought it was the best love song written.
George Harrison wrote the song "Something" in 1969 and it was recorded for the last Beatles album Abbey Road. It is one of the most covered Beatles songs ever and even Frank Sinatra (who hated the Beatles) called it the best love song ever written. It is a song about George Harrisons wife at that time who later became the wife of George's good friend Eric Clapton. Geoge Harrison died in 2001 and this is a tribute concert for him shortly after he passed.
George Harrison loved the ukulele, that’s why Paul McCartney is opening up with it. By the way, I think Concert for George’s live performance of George’s “Isn’t It a Pity” (led by Eric Clapton and Billy Preston) is incredibly powerful and moving…hope one day you’ll view it here!
Great reaction, Cathy and Donna! I really enjoyed this performance by two legends! Don't apologize for not knowing the song. People's lives and music experiences are different during their time on earth.
Great tune from " The concert for George"..The whole performance and concert was top notch. Made me sad though, another gone from my era. RIP Billy Preston "on organ" and Tom Petty " not shown in this song but him and his band The Heartbreakers performed as well at this concert.
@@MarkmanOTW yes and always sad when they pass. I loved his music and bought all his albums back in the day..My all-time fav album was "Shine On Brightly". Peace.
The ukulele was because George always had ukeleles at his house for everyone to play them when they partied. They DID all sing this a thousand times together.
Such a well composed song my fellow Texans it's beautiful and Donna knew this song and she enjoyed it and no it's not right not to beat up Donna in the comments and Kathys the same way people. my mother Cathy and me agree with what Donna said they have a personal lives that are important to them to take care of. So please let's be more understanding with these ladies everyone ok ? Thank you wintersun Alex ❄️❤️
#1 song for The Beatles in 1969. Written and originally sung by George Harrison this is from the tribute concert to him after his passing. Besides Eric and Paul you can spot Ringo on drums and ELO's Jeff Lynn on backing vocals and guitar. The organist is their longtime friend Billy Preston.
I knew you would have heard it. It's a classic sometimes simplicity is just the best way. A great song with great lyrics thoroughly deserving of the 'talent' on stage here to do it justice. Sorry to hear Lulu is not well bless her.
Written by George Harrison and originally performed by The Beatles, "Something" was famously referred to by Frank Sinatra as the best song ever written by Lennon/McCartney. Yet, George had penned the track....
GET WELL LULU. Paul McCartney And Eric Clapton | Something !!! This is one of the songs that was written about George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd. Eric Clapton was a friend of his. Eric also married Patti and Eric's song Layla Is about Eric falling in love with Patti while comforting her. George had numerous affairs?
