George Harrison was so underrated. Songs like this and here comes the sun are one of the best beatles songs
He was a genius songwriter. His problem was that the two greatest songwriters of the 20th century were in his band.
@@loosilu Exactly what I was going to write:)
Frank Sinatra said that it's a the greatest love song ever written.
That last shot is George...and that's his guitar sound. Never saw this video with each of their partners...For such a short lived band, no one can match the longevity of their impact now and beyond.
Out of the 27 singles the Beatles released during their seven years together, this was the only George Harrison song that was released as a single.
Would be difficult to name another song by George that could have been a single. Here comes the sun probably, but Oh Darling would beat that from Abbey Road.
22 UK singles were released during the Beatles time together. George did have another song on a single - The Inner Light the B side to Lady Madonna.
@@keithharris6442 I think Here Comes The Sun would have been a great single. George developed into an incredible songwriter. He was a man of contradictions. His mansions and race cars were paid for by Lennon/McCartney songs. He greatly enjoyed his wealth, and he also benefitted from the freedom it afforded him to explore songwriting. He could have been one of a million gifted musicians who never had a chance, we have all known them. L/M were a miracle.
@Lucie Melahn agree Lucie about Here Comes the Sun, but he'd never get 2 singles off the album. One thing exposes George's volume of work compared to John and Paul is that when he had a Greatest hits issued, his record company had to include his Beatle songs too. He had half a dozen great songs, compared to John and Paul's dozens each.
But as we know, each Beatle was important, none could be replaced.
@@keithharris6442 John and Paul had hundreds each to be honest. George didn't write on demand, he wrote to express himself. I don't have a source but supposedly there's a quote from George saying to Paul, I don't know how you write so many songs about nothing, for me they have to be about something. I'm sure it's completely mangled but it has the ring of truth. Paul was always able to just write songs on demand. When I watched Get Back, I always knew these things. But I was blown away by how the record company happily threw money at literally anything if it resulted in more Lennon/McCartney hits. George never had ANY pressure to support an entire industry. And honestly an entire economy. The beatles were awarded MBEs because they literally turned around the UK economy. And that's because of Lennon/McCartney
My favorite song ever. ❤ It’s straight R&B. The Beatles = the best-selling artists of all time (still, and they did it in just 7 years more than 50 years ago.)
И моя😊
I can surely understand that. A Perfect song.
Thanks man. That was a George Harrison song and guitar. Even Frank Sinatra said it was a great love song.
def top 10 love songs - period! ♥ BTW - this one of the many famous songs written for Patti Boyd by various artists.
The Beatles' members included: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Most of their songs were written by Lennon & McCartney. In this case George Harrison wrote Something. He was also the lead singer and the one playing the lead guitar in this song. Paul McCartney played bass and sang the backup vocals in this song. ALL four of them sing lead at times. John and Paul sing lead the most. Other Beatles' songs to react to Include: Help, I Feel Fine, Let It Be, Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, Oh Darling, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Yesterday, If I Fell, And I Love Her, Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, Revolution, A Day In The Life, Hello Goodbye, All You Need Is Love, A Little Help From My Friends and She Loves You. Just to name a few.
Paul McCartney's bass is the best bass playing I have ever heard on a ballad. Any other one that tops this?
George was worried it was too busy. IMO it raises the song another level from great song to all time classic.
Yeah, George was just plain wrong about Paul's magnificent bass playing on this song. It elevates an already great song. George had a sour taste in his mouth about McCartney overruling George's guitar ideas for Hey Jude, so maybe this was his idea of a payback.
@@tombeyerlein3813 George could hold a grudge like NO ONE, he also had deep jealousy of John and Paul for numerous reasons. Meanwhile,, he thoroughly enjoyed the mansions and cars that Lennon/McCartney songs paid for
You should definitely listen to the song… I Want You (She’s so heavy) by the Beatles. A totally different vibe. But something in the Way she moves by George Harrison is one of their best songs.
I'm from Liverpool England and feeling it with you lad 👍🏻
Here, there and everywhere
The Beatles have such an amazing catalog of music. The growth that they went through changed music forever. ❤️✌️
Or Eleanor Rigby. She's actually buried in my local churchyard. I live in the village where they all hooked up-in Liverpool. Strawberry Field, Penny Lane and John Lennons childhood home, all within walking distance from my home.
You know that's a coincidence! He didn't know about the gravestone.
There was a lot of joy in that video and in your reaction. Congratulations on discovering The Beatles. You will never tire of hearing their music, I assure you. Thank you JMBOY.
Thank you for watching!
THE BEATLES...that's it...........................................Peace and Love
Try "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" if you want to hear The Beatles play the Blues. From Abbey Road also.
Jazzy, soul-inspired, Quiet-Storm brilliance: George Harrison, the Beatles' lead guitarist, and the rest of the band were huge, deep Smokey Robinson/Marvin Gaye fans. And, oh, there is "something" about George Harrison's now classic guitar solo: so silky, evocative, sensuous: you can feel and hear its influence in so many guitarists, not the least of whom is that genius Prince. Dig it.
"While my Guitar Gently Weeps", from the White Album. You'll love it.
Love love this song , grew up listening to the Beatles at the time my Dad was in the Air Force went to Japan. Love all genres during that time through the early 90’s.
The best way to listen to the Beatles is to start with MEET THE BEATLES (album#1, that they recorded in 1 day,......the whole album), or their Hamburg stuff. Then follow them chronologically. You get a glimpse of how great they were and how fast they advanced as writers and studio engineers. Ringo, the drummer, was their most talented musician, but least talented writer. George Harrison (the solo here and the writer of this song) was a junior writer and the lead guitarist. John Lennon and Paul McCartney met at a church fair in July of 1957 (16 and 15 years old respectively, Paul's birthday being a few weeks earlier) and quickly realized like minded talent in each other. Paul brought George in the next year (1958) and for a while The Quarrymen, then Long John Silver and the Moondogs, Johnny and the Moondogs, The Silver Beetles, and later, when John's friend Stu Sutcliff joined them in 1961 for their Hamburg Germany gigs, the name The Beatles came from their short termed, short lived bassist (he died the next year of a brain anyerism.) Paul took over for Stu, then, a year later, they finally got a pro to join the group when Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) took over for the mis-cast, out-cast Pete Best on drums. They instantly soared to the tops in Britian, then Northern Europe, and a year later their songs were creeping into the US. By February 1964 they were top of the charts and within weeks they had the top 4 songs on the top 10, and 14 songs on the top 100 all in the same week. Pretty good for a 1 day recording. The rest is history.
That album you’re talking about is called Please Please Me. Meet The Beatles was a version of various early tracks compiled for the US release.
They had the TOP 5 songs on the top 10 the first week of April 1964. I don't understand why you would call RINGO their "most talented MUSICIAN" Yes, Ringo's DRUMMIN is PHENOMENAL and I think he is one of the greatest Rock drummers ever. But as far as musicianship, that would have to go to PAUL (besides being the bassist, is also a fantastic lead guitarist, acoustic guitar, piano, keyboards, ukulele, drums and percussion), JOHN ( also more than just a rhythm guitarist, but also on lead and bass, keyboards, harmonica and piano), and GEORGE (fantastic lead guitarist, but also plays bass, acoustic guitar, and piano) I would say that Paul has played the most variety of instruments. RINGO is mainly Drums, bongos and percussion (tambourine, maracas ), He doesn't play as many instruments as the others.
@@patticrichton1135 Agreed. I think everyone in the band would have agreed Paul was the best musician. He taught John how to play guitar and piano, and how to write songs.
The Beatles were the first video masters. They put them out as ads because they quit touring!
George Harrison was on guitar. It was his song - he wrote it and was the lyricist.
My Sweet George ♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸
Do it My Friend.. l hope success 4 U. You did Something. My respects 🙏
It is a beautiful song. It’s written and sang by George, and he’s the lead guitarist. He wrote it for his wife, Patti Boyd. She later married George’s friend, Eric Clapton, who wrote two songs for her, that I know of. All three songs were mega hits. Yoko was married to John.
200+ more songs to go!
Welcome to the Beatles rabbit hole my man!
I do believe that guitar was George Harrison in Something. It's a beautiful song.
brilliant
My vote for greatest love song of all time.
Los Beatles son eternos
While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George is his greatest song and possibly the best Beatles song. It features Eric Clapton on a really heavy sounding lead guitar.
Nearly every comments is "They we're underrated"
If there was a sound to a relationship that I would want, it would sound like this.
Something is a beautiful Beatles song as is your reaction. If you want to hear them step it up & get a little trippy I suggest Come Together.
Another iconic band that I’d LOVE to see you review is Led Zeppelin: ua-cam.com/video/3vG4KmDAzR4/v-deo.html
P.S. this live performance treats us with a killer drum solo. The drummer is the GOAT of rock. Nobody else can come close. But you’ll have to experience it yourself to fully appreciate his magic.
*cough* Neil Peart
This one is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I had the whole Anthology collection, my favorite. Love Eric Clapton too
“Yoko Ono,she’s famous,she’s well known”
Yeah,for all the wrong reasons.
Imagine if they’d stayed together for just a couple more years!!
But thank God we have their magnificent discography.
GOAT’s.
THE goats.
McCartney LOOKED LIKE A CRAZY MOUNTAIN MAN AT THE END OF THE VIDEO.
Name another band where the guitarist and not the main songwriter in the group could write a song like this?
Your facial reactions say it all.
The Beatles were a 1960's band composed of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison (who wrote and sung this song), and Ringo Starr. Yoko Ono was John's wife, and not a member of the band.
They all played different instrumental roles in the band depending on the song, but the usual lineup is John on rhythm guitar, Paul on bass, George on lead guitar, and Ringo on drums. Every member has provided lead vocals for a song or written a song. This is one of the exceptions to the instrumental roles, where John is on piano and George takes both rhythm and lead guitar roles. If you know who Billy Preston is, he's featured on this track playing the organ.
If you want more songs of theirs to react to, I'll recommend 1 song written and sung by the other members from around this time.
Don't Let Me Down (John)
Oh! Darling (Paul)
Octopus's Garden (Ringo)
Glad you enjoyed this! Hoping to see more!
Probably some of their other well known songs are Penny Lane, A Day In the Life, Hey Jude, The Long and Winding Road, Across the Universe, Help, Revomution, and the infamous (thanks to the Manson family murders) Helter Skelter
Oops typo sb Revolution
@@badplay156 sb revolution is my favourite.
You are not aware of their top songs? Well, easy solution: listen to any of their songs. Top song!
Beatles is a big big big story ..........they started almost as teenagers playing musing ( georges harrison was minor ) ......they changed the history of popular music ......they played all type of music , loves song , poppy song , blues , rock , country , psychedelic ....... in only seven years they produce only classic song .....i recommanded you listen the album by order to hear theyre evolution during the years it exist 2 best of ... the red album ( 1962-1966) and the blue album ( 1967-1970 ) to discover the Beatles ...... John Lennon was murderer in 1980 after is comeback in music by a crazy fan in front of his wife in New York , George Harrison died by cancer in 2001 , Paul Mc Cartney and Ringo Starr still doing music and touring .....
McCartney is selling out stadiums at 80. He was the headliner at Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and got the biggest crowd EVER at that festival. It was universally praised as one of the best shows ever at Glastonbury.
This song was written about his wife Patty Boyd who divorced him to go on to marry Eric Claton. Eric also wrote many songs about her. She had a least 7 or more songs about her.
Very interesting!
Her sister Jenny Boyd also had songs written about her. Donovan wrote "Jennifer Juniper" about her. Jenny went on to marry Mick Fleetwood.
@@JMBOYTV George also wrote "I Need You", "If I Needed Someone" and "For You Blue" for Pattie. Clapton wrote "Layla", Bell Bottom Blues" and "Wonderful Tonight" for her. If you aren't sure, Pattie is the first one shown, walking towards the camera. George is the next one, longer hair walking towards the camera. Ringo and Paul are shown next. I haven't gone through other comments to see if someone mentions it, but FYI Yoko Ono was never part of the band. She was John's girlfriend (after he dumped his first wife); not sure if they were married when this video was done or not. She's often blamed for breaking up the band due to her interference but there actually were many reasons. Although she did play a big role in it; the other guys just didn't like her and John insisted on bringing her to all their recording sessions once he started dating/living with her.
She was so beautiful!
@@Firefoxy-rz1nw She still is!
Something'. The song was featured on their 'Abbey Road' album and written by George Harrison about his wife Patti Boyd in 1969 but less than a year later Eric Clapton wrote the song Layla inspired by Clapton's secret love for that same Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison. So, for Clapton Layla is really Pattie Boyd ua-cam.com/video/5XFdl7K5awc/v-deo.html
I wonder and we’ll never know when Eric Clapton was lusting after Patti Boyd, did she know it in 69 when George Harrison was writing this love letter for her.
Makes you say, humm! Poor George Harrison and what a dog at the time Eric Clapton!
You really, really should listen to While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's another George song that, according to me, is one of the 2-3 best Beatles songs and maybe a top 10 all time rock song.
If you want a great intro to them, there are two compilation sets known as the Red (1962-66) and Blue (1967-70) albums. They contain most of the most essential hits. The thing is they had a lot of hits and dozens were left off even though those were double CD compilations. Yeah they have a lot of good songs.
Yay, JM. Lots of subscribers! Maybe you'll end up a Professor teaching music? All the best.
Please react to "Don't let Me Down" live, great reactions.
Hi, I'm new here, and loving your reactions. George Harrison wrote this about his wife Patti Boyd. Eric Clapton fell in love with her and wrote " Layla" for her. After George she she married Eric and he wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for her. Eric and George stayed friends through it all.
Love your reaction! Thank you...I will hit subscribe! You might enjoy seeing them in the '65 video 'We Can Work it Out' . Funny stuff, because it's obvious they are not taking it seriously at all (they might have enjoyed a smoke before it?) but it's a great song, as is all their songs!
@4:22 to say Yoko Ono had a 'part in the band' is like saying 'the best part about sex is the opportunity to contract a venereal disease'.
In the Beatles universe, I would wager most fans rate her somewhere between Allen Klein and Mark Chapman...
Thanks for reacting to the Beatles. I just subscribed and look forward to more reactions. Peace.
Beatles with their wives (at that time): George Harrison and Patti Boyd; John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman; and Ringo Star and Maureen Tigrett.
❤❤❤❤
Good Reaction to the biggest-selling Singles AND Albums Artists that the World has seen. They have sold over twice as many records as the next 2 Acts combined(Elvis and Michael J) and they released 230 Songs nearly all different. Endless records and "Firsts" by this Liverpool,North est England Band and Frank Sinatra called this "The Greatest Love Song Of THem All" :)
Did you know that in ‘67/68 The Monkees several times bumped The Beatles off the #1 spot on the charts? Over a 15 month period, The Beatles held #1 for 15 weeks to The Monkees’ 37 wks. Of all bands. Isn’t that crazy!?!
@@AstiJay I liked the personality of Davy and The Bots but merely causing it "crazy" barely does that fact justice and that HAS to be The USA because that wasn't the case in my England:)
@@Isleofskye They said The Monkees were USA’s response to the Beatles. During those years the Monkees were together, they outsold the Beatles as well, year for year, not overall of course. And the Beatles liked them. Whenever the Faux Four were in England they & the Fab Four hung out. Mike Nesbit & his wife were the houseguests, at least once, of the Harrison’s.
@@AstiJay OK. They invited Mike as he was the only real musician:)
By THe Way, do you know the connection between Davy and David Bowie,My Friend?
@@Isleofskye 🤭 Peter was as well. He could play 11 different instruments. I do not know the connection between the Davids. Do tell!
❤❤
YOKO is not in the band. She was John's wife. All the gals in the video were the guy's mates at the time.
❤️
do not be distracted by this video which was slapped together DECADES AFTER DECADES after this album- has nothing to do with the music it only distracts for people that are weak attention span/wise and need something to look at by the way this is acknowledged as one of the greatest albums of all time but MUST BE listened to in its entirety -nothing like it especially the second side
Actually, this video was filmed specifically as a promotional film for the song. It was released in 1969. The band was pretty much the first, or one of the first, to release promotional films for their songs.
Their biggest single was Hey Jude/Revolution (double A side). Do Revolution first. The videos for both were filmed on the same day, and you can see that John and Paul swapped shirts!
I’ll add those to the list!
In this video you see Pattie Boyd Harrison and George Harrison first, THEN John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon, then Maureen Cox Starkey wife of Ringo Starr and Ringo, then Linda Eastman McCartney and Paul McCartney (Linda and Paul snuggling and leaping around wit Paul's dog Martha) George wrote that song about his wife Pattie. At the end of the song you see each Beatle's face in this order: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr (real name Richard Starkey), and lastly George Harrison who wrote "SOMETHING" and sings lead on it. Yoko doesn't play in the band.
Written and song by George.
Some Beatles fan I am! I forgot the name of the dog
How could you forget "Martha, My Dear" from the White Album? Bummer! 😉
You might try another George Harrison song "Here Comes the Sun"
I add that to the list!
Yoko Ono was married to John Lennon.
Great reaction! I subscribed! I just seen a really cool cover of this song that got posted a few days ago by a band called American Icon. You should check it out, very cool.
Peace
If you are listening to this group for the first time, I will sort of warn you that this song is not representative of their catalog. They were a very diverse group and effortlessly migrated to the genres. However, this song is representative of the high standards and frequent beauty of their music. In fact, they changed so dramatically at times the fans would be amazed and puzzled by the changes and the rest of the music business struggled to keep up.
The early Sixties Beatles, mid-Sixties Beatles, and late Sixties Beatles could have been three different bands. It’s mind-boggling that a group could go in different directions, continue to write great songs and never lose popularity. It was big news when they broke up. That tells you how much of an impact they had on the culture.
you never heard of their music ? oh my god lol
He definitely heard it, just doesn't know it yet.
Why should most young people? This song was recorded nearly 55 years ago. Even John, Paul, George and Ringo weren't that knowledgeable of music from 1903, which was the equivalent distance in time away from this recording.
@@Firefoxy-rz1nw From my experience, most people do know beatles music but didn't know where it came from.
@@loosilu you're probably right. I used to work in a shop with young people in the UK and their music came over the internal radio all the time, but pretty much none of the kids knew who they were. They were obviously hearing them over the loudspeakers, the same as I was, but not aware of them.
jmboy tv - listen to george harrison song "my sweet lord " 2014 remaster video. it's a smooth filling song to your soul . thanks be safe peace. johnnyboy
Joan was quizzical.....
Yoko Ono really wasn't a member of the band. She was just John Lennon's girlfriend kind of a hang on. She was an artist in her own right though. Rumor has it that it was her who broke the Beatles up but again that's just a rumor
Frank Sinatra rated it the best love song and that's saying something (pun intended)
Yoko Ono was Johns woman.....never a member of the Fab 4
The only thing yoko had to do with the Beatles was breaking them up and destroying them…. Much hated for destroying the Beatles chemistry
Yoko is thoroughly useless. She did nothing (except ruin everything!) At least, in my family, that's the story. : o )
Frank Sinatra said of this song, "one of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded". He's100% correct, after all, who wants to argue or disagree with Frank Sinatra...
Not me!
He said it was his favorite Lennon-McCartney song, lol
@@loosilu this isn't a Lennon & McCartney song, "Something" is a George Harrison song.
@@dominicksforza3484 Yes, that's the joke. Frank didn't know!
