The album "Abbey Road," which featured McCartney and his fellow Beatles John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison on the cover, is considered one of the group's greatest works and produced such hits as "Come Together," "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun." It was also their last album recorded together.
