In his October, 5, 1969, review of the Beatles album Abbey Road in the NY Times, Cohn said that the entire album was mediocre but for the long medley on the second side of the album. Of "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something" he stated that these were "two songs by George Harrison, mediocrity incarnate." He also mistakenly wrote that John Lennon sang "Oh! Darling" and that on that song, although "Lennon has always had a terrific voice," that "Just the same, it doesn't sound right. Why not? Just because he tries too hard" and "flounders in an orgy of gulps, howls and retches, flung together at random, and the whole point is lost." In reality, it was Paul McCartney wrote and sang the song.
