"Let It Be" is a song byThe Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternate mix) as the title track of their albumLet It Be.
It was written byPaul McCartney andJohn Lennon. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band (by that time, Lennon had already left).
Both theLet It Be album and the US single "The Long and Winding Road" were released after McCartney's announced departure from and subsequent break-up of the group.
"Let It Be" holds the number-one spot on "The Fans' Top 10" poll included inThe 100 Best Beatles Songs: An Informed Fan's Guide by Stephen J. Spignesi and Michael Lewis. The song is number three in the 100 Best Beatles Songs list, only behind "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "A Day in the Life", which is number one.
