Dolly Parton sings The Beatles’ song “Let It Be” with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — listen to it here!

After over 50 years in music, Dolly Parton is now a real rock star. The cherished country legend is finally putting out her long-awaited rock album called “Rockstar,” and she’s teaming up with some of the biggest names in music history to do it.

Dolly just released the latest single from her album, a cover of The Beatles’ timeless song “Let it Be.” Many have covered this beloved tune before, but this one is extra special because it features both living Beatles, Sirs Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!

Few artists can bring together arguably the greatest band ever, but Dolly did it. Although Paul and Ringo have worked together occasionally, having them both on board is still a major achievement.

And if having two Beatles wasn’t enough, the song also includes Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums, making it a truly star-studded recording.

The spiritual, gospel-inspired song is a great match for the 77-year-old country icon, and Dolly gives it her all in her performance — have a listen:

The song has received praise from both critics and fans of Dolly Parton and The Beatles.

One YouTube comment reads, “I got goosebumps from the first few words… by halfway through I was in tears! Thank you, Dolly, Paul, Ringo, and everyone involved in this incredible recording!”

Another comment says, “Great version of an iconic song by the legends themselves! A lively and powerful rendition. Thanks to all!!”

And another emotional comment reads, “No words… just tears… amazing… so much gratitude to these incredible legends for bringing this inspiring piece to a new generation. ‘Let it Be’ is exactly what this world needs right now.”

“Let it Be,” first released in 1970, remains one of the Beatles’ most cherished and inspiring songs. Although credited to Lennon-McCartney, Paul McCartney wrote it after dreaming about his mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, who passed away when he was 14.

Recorded during the band’s famous yet turbulent “Get Back” sessions, it served as the Beatles’ final single before their breakup in 1970. The song also lent its name to their last album, adding a bittersweet connection to the band’s farewell.

Dolly Parton’s album, Rockstar, is set to be released on November 17. She first hinted at making a rock album last year when she turned down her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dolly said she hadn’t “earned the right” to be inducted because she hadn’t made a rock & roll album yet.

“I hope the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and consider me again if I ever deserve it,” she wrote. “This has inspired me to finally make a rock ‘n’ roll album, which I’ve always wanted to do!” She also mentioned that her husband is a “total rock ‘n’ roll fan.”

Rockstar will have some new songs written by Dolly, but mostly it features covers of classic rock songs, often with the original artists joining in.

The track list includes:

  • “Every Breath You Take” featuring Sting
  • “Baby, I Love Your Way” with Peter Frampton
  • “Heart of Glass” with Debbie Harry
  • “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” with Elton John
  • “Free Bird” with Lynyrd Skynyrd

Besides “Let It Be,” Dolly has released two other singles from the album: an original song called “World on Fire” and a cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions”/“We Will Rock You,” which also promotes the 2024 Paris Olympics.

You might just uncover new facets of yourself that were hidden until now. Enjoy this journey of self-discovery!

What did you see first?

1.

  • Frog: You are very honest and straightforward while communicating with other people. You are self-assured and expect everyone else to treat you in the same manner.
  • Horse: You aren’t known for your impulsiveness, but on the contrary, you over-analyze everything. That’s because you prefer to see things for yourself and not let others guide you.

2.

  • The lock: You love to explore what you don’t know, learn new things, and get out of your comfort zone. You may be interested in someone, so be sure to talk to that person.
  • The crying figure: You need to pay more attention to your feelings and listen to your wishes. At the same time, you need time to relax and clear your mind.

3.

  • The face: You are a social person and curious about the lives of others. For you, everything is unique and interesting. You pay attention to what is, instead of the details.
  • The fish: You are happy with your life. You believe in luck and a happy future. For you, the glass is always half full and details are very important to you.

4.

  • An open door: You are ready for changes and are going in the right direction. You face the future without fear but rather, excitement. You are a source of inspiration for others.
  • The musical note: Expressing yourself is important to you. You feel you have something important to share with the world. Don’t look back and take risks.

5.

  • A car: The world is full of mysteries to you. It is also made of many different things that always stimulate your imagination.
  • A person with binoculars: You are nice to others, and are not critical of them or yourself.
  • The letter “A”: Your mood swings are real, but not extreme. You can go from happy to sad. Remember to balance life and work.

6.

  • A crocodile: Your life is full of many colors and you have a creative approach to everything.
  • Mountains and water: You are neither very conventional nor very individualistic. You are usually optimistic and tend to be constructive.
  • People on a boat: You are sociable and get along well with others. You are adventurous and adapt easily to social situations.

7.

  • Rabbit: You are more of a technical person than a caring one because the left hemisphere of your brain is dominant.
  • Duck: In this case, the right hemisphere of your brain dominates the left, so you are very “human” when it comes to your personality.

Our childhood greatly influences our character and behavior. Here are several parenting decisions people don’t realize can have a domino effect.
