Frank finally got it right and gave credit to George.

Alright, I'm scratching my head. George was "conned" into using "Something" for a Chrysler commercial? I'm surprised that he could be so easily made to do something he didn't want to do. I've heard about the commercial, but I didn't really remember it and wasn't sure if it was true or not. I guess it was.

an easy one: mr. ray charles...-s.

Thank you Sailawayraymond, I had no idea that "Something" was covered by so many other's. It is great to know that so many people saw the beauty of this song and made their own version's. But I cannot help but love George's only. :)

...and so as you said, no comparison to Harrison ! :D

Wow. I had no idea this song was covered by so many people. That's great, though, it's a beautiful song.:-)

Most covered songs in the history are believed to be Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby. But "Something" is also very high in the rank, among 30 most covered songs of the 20th century.

where did you get that snippet of Brenda Lee singing?

i got it from some stranger in P2P network, with no information !
