The Greatest Music
Let It Be
by The Beatles
The 397th greatest album of all time
Let It Be (1970) is the Beatles' final studio album release, assembled from 1969 sessions and issued after the group had effectively broken up. The record mixes rock, pop rock, beat music and blues influences, pairing a back-to-basics, live-in-studio feel on several tracks with more produced, orchestral and gospel-tinged arrangements on others. Its varied production approaches and close ties to the documentary film give the album a raw, documentary quality within the Beatles catalogue.
