已故The Beatles批頭合唱團團員George Harrison的前妻Pattie
"Layla" Boyd,四月29日在倫敦第三次結婚,73歲的她年輕時是一位模特兒,1966年與George Harrison結婚,1977年離婚,1979年再婚嫁給吉它之神傳奇搖滾樂手Eric Clapton,此次則嫁給1980年代即認識的一位資產開發商。
一直有人說Pattie Boyd是George的 "Something" 與Eric的"Layla" 及'Wonderful Tonight,"這三首歌的創作泉源,但George
Harrison後來解釋:他最早寫的情歌是The Beatles的White Album當中的Long Long Long,寫的就是神與一個女人,1969年他告訴朋友"Something"這一首歌是講印度女神Krishna,1976年他接受滾石雜誌訪問時又解釋:愛是宇宙大愛中的一小塊,當你愛一個女人,只是神上其身而已。
1996年George
Harrison正式否認"Something"是為Pattie Boyd寫的,他說當年為了披頭專輯唱片的促銷,說他為Pattie Boyd寫"Something",只是塑造一個披頭團員都愛老婆的假象而已。
"Something"這一首歌於1969年與Come Together以雙單曲推出,獲得二週第三名,滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜獲得第273名,BMI全美最常播出歌曲榜則獲得第17名,是一首非常動聽的情歌,開頭的歌詞Something in the Way She
Moves則取材自當年披頭的Apple唱片公司旗下名歌星James
Taylor的一首歌。

Something
The Beatles
Harrison
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
