16 16 Name the Beatles single released today in The Beatles - The Long And Winding Road - Let It Be (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Paul s lush ballad is most famous for the Phil Spector augmentations thrust upon it. McCartney was said to be angry about the heavy-handed inclusion of strings, brass and a choir to his otherwise sparse arrangement. Spector, famous for his wall of sound production style, added 18 violins, four violas, four cellos, a harp, three trumpets, three trombones, two guitars, a choir of 14 female singers, and Ringo Starr re-recording a drum part. Paul s classic ballad was recorded on January 26, 1969 with Paul on piano and lead vocal, John on bass, George on guitar and Ringo on drums. According to McCartney, he received an acetate of the finished Let It Be album in early April 1970, along with a letter from Phil Spector, which said that Paul should contact him if he wanted any alterations. After he was unable to contact Spector by phone, Paul sent a letter to Beatles business manager Allen Klein asking that some of Spector s over-thetop additions to The Long And Winding Road be toned down. By the time he made the request it was too late to make changes and the album was released as Phil Spector had re-produced it. The unadorned song can be heard on the Anthology 3 album. It was issued as a single by Capitol Records in the U.S. on May 11, 1970, where it topped the Billboard singles charts for two weeks. It is the final Beatles single issued in the U.S. The song was not released on 45 by EMI in the UK. One of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live on his Wings Over America tour in
