March 6, 1970 –
The Beatles released Let it Be in the UK on this date. Paul McCartney wrote this song supposedly after he had a dream about his mother who died when he was 14.
Since Let It Be was The Beatles last album, it made an appropriate statement about leaving problems behind and moving on in life. John Lennon hated the song because of it’s apparent Christian overtones. He made the comment before recording it, “And now we’d like to do Hark The Angels Come.”
The Beatles were so busy arguing with each other that Aretha Franklin was able to release a cover version of the song
on her album This Girl’s In Love With You (as well as Eleanor Rigby), before The Beatles version came out.
