Listen to this wonderful rendition of ‘Let It Be’ by Dolly Parton featuring Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Special guests Mick Fleetwood and Peter Frampton are also featured on the recording.
“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom Let it be. And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be. When all the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer. Let it be”
What a fabulous cover! And Dolly Parton’s and Paul McCartney’s voices were beautiful together!
“Thanks Dolly for doing my song. I love your version and am very pleased to be by your side on this one. Rock on!” writes Paul McCartney to Dolly on YouTube.
“What an incredibly beautiful version of this timeless song! Thank you Dolly, Paul, Ringo, Peter, and Mick for your work and creativity. It was lovely to hear you and Paul sing together, and Peter did a gorgeous job on the guitar-as always!” comments another person online.
This iconic song from The Beatles was written and sung by Paul McCartney originally, and it was the last Beatles single to be unveiled before he announced his departure from the band. Paul McCartney recalled how his late mother – who died from cancer when he was 14 – inspired him to write the track.
