'I Will ' isn't a solo Beatles song, not that it matters.
The term "solo Beatles song" seems paradoxical: if it's a "Beatles song" it's by definition a song during the time the Beatles were Beatles -- whether or not the other Three pitched in with the writing and/or the recording of it (at all or even only marginally). Perhaps less paradoxical would be "solo Beatle song".

a coffee dessert, yes you know it's good news...

I think that's the proper term, actually. But it's like capitalising the T in The Beatles... many of us hardly ever bother...
it verges from the sublime to the ridiculote
