LET IT BE

I really don't know how this album got stuck in my collection. I found it a couple of weeks ago so I decided to throw it on the turntabe. And can you believe it ! I actually enjoyed it. It was the final Beatles album and from what I understand the band was were more or less finished at this point. I think Lennon & McArtney had finally came to the desscion thath we should just '' let it be ''. All the members went on to be successful in their own individual ways but they left the world with this opus. Even Elvis performed Get Back in his Vegas days if only introplating it with his 1961 hit Little Sister..

It was such a melodic album and I had to give it a second listen. I think so many prog bands were influenced by these recording sessions. It sounds to me that the songs were heavily overdubbed and not all members were present in the studio at the same time because they hated each other's guts by 1970. The Beatles knew that they had run their course by 1970. The fans just wouldn't '' let it be''. Not much for me to add to the kazillions of words written about the Beatles, arguably the most popular rock band in the universe.
