George Harrison didn’t write that many of The Beatles’ songs, but there are plenty of highlights among the ones he penned. He was an excellent songwriter, but his skills shined more in his solo career than with the fab four. Still, many modern musicians, like Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, were inspired by George Harrison, and Grohl shared which Beatles song by Harrison inspired him most.

George Harrison wrote “Something” for 1969’s Abbey Road. It’s a smooth love ballad that captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. It was released as a double A-side single with “Come Together” in 1969, and it’s the only Beatles song penned by Harrison to reach No. 1 on the charts.

In a 2019 interview appearance on a BBC Radio 2 special for the 50th anniversary of Abbey Road,...

Tina Turner didn’t just pull off the greatest comeback in music history — she invented the whole concept of the comeback as we know it. She became a solo superstar when she was 44. Things like that simply don’t happen. That’s how old Brandy, Usher, Adam Levine, Lance Bass, and John Legend are right now. At that age, Tina Turner was just beginning.

Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, carried the whole story of American music in her voice, because in so many ways, she was that story, but she was also a lot more.

It was all happening for Tina and Ike Turner in 1970. They’d spent the Sixties building a steady head of steam in the U.S., and especially abroad, with hits like “So Fine,” and their rendition of Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.” Their biggest smash wouldn’t come until 1971 — though Tina and Ike were already teasing it at the start of the new decade on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Tina Turner, the singer and actress known as the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, has died at the age of 83.

Turner passed away following a long illness, her representatives announced on Wednesday, May 24th. “There will be a private funeral ceremony attended by close friends and family,” the statement added. “Please respect the privacy of her family at this difficult time.”

Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26th, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee. Growing up during World War II, she had a strained relationship with her parents, and spent the majority of her childhood and teenage years living with her grandparents. A self-described tomboy, she sang in her church choir as a young girl, and went on to join both the cheerleading squad and girls’ basketball team in high school. After graduating in 1958, she worked as a nurse’s aide.

In the mid-1950s, Turner and her sister began regularly...

Walk into what, from the outside, looks to be another well-paid, well-kept home in suburban Inglewood, California, and you’re hit: a huge, imperial oil painting of Ike and Tina Turner, dressed as if for a simple, private wedding, circa 1960, modest pompadour and formal mink. A thriller? The killer, honey…
