The Beatles' final album, "Let It Be," included a song that was considered John Lennon's cry for help.
On May 8 53 years ago, The Beatles released its what-would-be last album, "Let It Be." The 13th album was dropped less than a month before the famous boy group members decided to call it quits after a decade of performing together.
The 1970 album ran for 35 minutes, with the original release presenting two sides of songs to fans. The next versions included "Two of Us," "Across the Universe," "The Long and Winding Road," "For You Blue," "Get Back," "Let It Be," and "Don't Let Me Down."
The latter track was part of the album as a primary release, and it was considered the late Beatle's emotional song.
According to Express UK, "Don't Let Me Down" was not officially included on the album. Still, it became one of the most popular songs released by the Fab Four. In fact, The Beatles' rooftop performance of the song remains the most-viewed video on the band's YouTube channel, with more than 435 million views.
