On this day, May 8, 1970, Let It Be was released.

Let It Be (Beatles album)

Recorded: January 1969 ( except February 1968 for "Across the Universe" ); January–April 1970
Producer: Phil Spector
Singles from Let It Be

"Let It Be", Released: 6 March 1970
"The Long and Winding Road" / "For You Blue",Released: 11 May 1970
Let It Be is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up, in tandem with the motion picture of the same name. Like most of the band's previous releases, the album topped record charts in many countries, including both the US and the UK. However, the critical response was generally unfavourable, and Let It Be came to be regarded as one of the most controversial rock albums ever.

A rare take of "Across The Universe" in 1969. John is heard speaking and messing around throughout the take. Recorded in January of '69 in Twickenham Studios.
A performance by a Japanese tribute band. Wow, do I love these videos.
