About The Song
“Come Together” is a song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released in 1969 as the opening track on their album “Abbey Road”. The song reached the top of the charts in the United States and Australia, but peaked at No. 4 in the United Kingdom.
The song was inspired by John Lennon’s meeting with Timothy Leary, an American psychologist and early advocate of LSD, during the Montreal Bed-in for Peace in 1969. Leary asked Lennon to write him a campaign song based on the slogan “Come Together – Join the Party!”. It has been covered by several other artists, including Ike & Tina Turner, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker, and Michael Jackson.
