Here's a magnificent music video of George Harrison's masterpiece, "Something," which he wrote for his wife Pattie Boyd. For the first and only time, this film prominently features the Beatles' wives and lovers (as well as Martha, Paul's sheepdog, immortalized in the song "Martha My Dear"):
Pattie Boyd Harrison, whom George met while filming A Hard Day's Night in 1964, is herself a rock icon: in addition to inspiring this song, she inspired Eric Clapton's "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight." (And her sister Jennifer inspired Donovan's "Jennifer Juniper.")
All of the Beatles (so far) were twice married: John appears in this film with his second wife Yoko Ono, but the other three were still in their first marriages when this video was shot. George and Patti divorced in 1974; Ringo and Maureen split in 1975. Both married again: George to Olivia Arias in 1978, Ringo to Barbara Bach in 1981. Paul McCartney appears in the "Something" video with his first wife, Linda Eastman, who died in 1998. In 2002, Paul married Heather Mills; the couple divorced in 2008.
