The Story Behind The Beatles' Song I Want To Tell You
Despite breaking up in 1970, the Beatles remain icons of modern-day pop culture. Their music continuously gets rediscovered by generation after generation. Rediscoveries have led to everything from remastered recordings to a Cirque du Soleil show. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr have since enlightened the general public about their time in the band and allowed stories behind their music to emerge.
Harrison was a friend of McCartney's from school. In 1958, this connection brought him to the Quarry Men, Lennon's band which McCartney had joined a year prior (per Ultimate Classic Rock). Harrison may have been known as "the quiet Beatle," but he proved to be an integral part of the band, especially in the group's later albums. He even made it onto Rolling Stone's 2015 list of the best guitarists of all time. One of Harrison's shining moments with the Beatles was on the song "I Want to Tell You."
