The single Come Together/SOmething is released in the US. Contrary to popular belief, Something was not released as a single as a money-maker, but rather to give George Harrison a chance as a composer. In 1990, Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn received this letter from Allen Klein, "It was done on purpose, not to make money but to help the guy, Lennon wanted to help him. He knew that for all intents and purposes for a period of time they weren't going to be working together anymore. Something was a great song. But to make money? Not a chance. It was really to point out George as a writer, and give him courage to go in and do his own LP. Which he did."
