I Need You by The Beatles – ***

First released: 1965

Poor George Harrison. He boldly states twice in "Help!" that "I Need You" was composed by him. Though he was probably tooting his own horn because of being quite proud of his latest composition, he was also probably trying to alert people that he was indeed composing at all. By 1965, many assumed that Lennon/McCartney composed everything, even the songs that they covered like "Till There Was You", etc. It was only a matter of time, when Harrison would become an equal to his peers. It is of course on the "Help!" album.
