50 years since the Beatles recorded 'Something'

The Beatles recorded their song "Something" 50 years ago on Tuesday.

It's considered the song that established George Harrison as a formidable songwriter within the group, and it's been covered by more than 150 artists — including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Shirley Bassey and Ray Charles. In fact, "Yesterday" is the only other Beatles song that has been covered more times.
