Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album released by The Beatles on October 6, 1969, with Come Together as being the opening track of the album. Come Together was written primarily by John Lennon. Come Together was originally going to be used for a political campaign for Timothy Leary, who advocates about the exploration of therapeutical psychedelic drugs under controlled conditions, planned to run against Ronald Raegan for the governorship of California. The title came from Leary's political slogan 'Come Together, join the party'. Although the campaign itself and the song for Leary didn't work out, it inspired the band to finish Come Together as their own piece of music and released it. Unfortunately, Come Together is the last opening track The Beatles have ever recorded. However, it still remains in a very special place in our hearts as one of the best songs of The Beatles.
