The Beatles Use Moog Synthesizer On ‘Here Comes The Sun’
The You Can’t Unhear This – latest video – takes a look at The Beatles‘ Here Comes The Sun, from their 1969 album Abbey Road.
Here Comes The Sun is a unique recording in many ways – and features an early example of a modular synthesizer being used on a pop album.
Video Summary:
“This 3-minute gem of unforgettable songwriting is also packed with intriguing anomalies, production quirks and even a mystery.
Unlike the vast majority of Beatles songs, Here Comes the Sun was not written by the main songwriting duo of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but rather by George Harrison, the youngest member of the quartet, who contributed two memorable pieces to the Abbey Road album – an endearing love song called Something, and the effervescent Here Comes the Sun.”
