"Something", together with "Here Comes the Sun", another song from Abbey Road, thrust Harrison into the limelight as a full-fledged songwriter. Prior to this, his compositions had been considered by some to be relatively lacklustre, somewhat overshadowed by the collaborative works of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. "Something" became Harrisons first (and only) single and no. 1 hit.
