About Let It Be

"Let It Be" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 6 March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternate mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be.

The single version of the song, produced by George Martin, features a softer guitar solo and the orchestral section mixed low, while the album version, produced by Phil Spector, features a more aggressive guitar solo and the orchestral sections mixed up. At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band.

The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. more »
