The song was recorded on April 16, 1969, with overdubs added on July 11 and 16, and again on August 15. All four of the Beatles felt that it was the best track on the Abbey Road LP. It was the first A-side single Harrison had with the Beatles and was released as a single in the U.S. on October 6, 1969, and in the UK on October 31, 1969. Frank Sinatra thought it was the best Beatles song ever recorded.
Harrison played lead guitar, organ, and sings lead vocal. McCartney played bass and does a backing vocal. Lennon played lead guitar as well, and Starr played drums. McCartney and Starr do handclaps, and session musicians added strings.
