On January 3rd, 1970, three Beatles walked into Abbey Road to record a song. Not four — John Lennon had already quietly left the band weeks earlier, though the public wouldn't find out for months. What Paul, George and Ringo recorded that day, "I Me Mine," became the last song The Beatles ever put to tape.

In this video, we trace the story of "I Me Mine" from its awkward debut during the tense Get Back sessions, to George Harrison nearly quitting the band entirely, to the final session where Paul McCartney quietly helped shape the song's arrangement without ever asking for songwriting credit — a detail buried in footage that went unnoticed for over 50 years.
