November 29, 1969 –
The Beatles‘ double A sided single Come Together/ Something, (their twenty-sixth release in the United States,) went to # 1 on the Billboard charts, on this date. Come Together / Something became the group’s 18th US No. 1.
John Lennon was inspired by Timothy Leary’s campaign for governor of California titled “Come together, join the party” against Ronald Reagan giving him the idea for the track. Something was the first Beatles song written by George Harrison to appear as an A-side.
