The Beatles, an iconic British rock band that redefined the music industry, gifted the world with numerous timeless classics that continue to resonate with music lovers of all generations. Among their vast catalog of hits, “Come Together” stands out as a shining gem. This electrifying song, written by the legendary John Lennon, served as the opening track for their acclaimed 1969 album, “Abbey Road.”
