Love Songs

George Harrison wrote I Need You for Help! and performed lead vocals. He also played his 12-string electric (Rickenbacker), adding a wah-wah pedal for the first time. Ringo added the cowbell to the drum set. Harrison wrote this love ballad, only the second of his compositions to be recorded by the Beatles, for Patti Boyd, his girlfriend and future bride. Starting with Help!, Harrison would contribute two songs to each album, establishing himself as a gifted pop composer in his own right.
