Frank Sinatra once said he considered Something by George Harrison to be the greatest love song of the modern era.

It has always been presumed George composed it for his wife at the time, Patti Boyd.

However, an old friend has intimated in a tribute in the Hare Krishna magazine, Back to Godhead, that the Beatle actually penned the lyrics in praise of the Hindu god Krishna.

Evidently, George later confided he had to say "she" or everyone would have thought him a "poof". Homophobic, to say the least.

Patti's next famous partner was former Cream lead guitarist Eric Clapton, whose rock classic Layla was definitely about her - wasn't it?
