The singer got the two living Beatles together for an emotional version of their classic song—and fans couldn't be more thrilled.

Dolly Parton is gearing up for the November release of her first rock 'n' roll album, and if her latest single is any indication, it definitely will not disappoint.

Ahead of the single drop, Parton teased on social media with a behind-the-scenes video and a frenzy-inducing caption:


"Does it get any better than singing 'Let It Be' with @PaulMcCartney who wrote the song?"

🤯

"Not only that, he played piano!"
"Well, it did get even better when @ringostarrmusic joined in on drums, @peterframpton on guitar and @MickFleetwood playing percussion."

🤯🤯

"I mean seriously, how much better does it get?"

She's got a point.

That's right, the two living members of the Beatles: McCartney - who wrote the 1970 hit - and Starr, joined Parton on the "Let It Be" track that was released on Friday.

The classic song begins with Parton singing solo until McCartney joins in on the second line, the two beautifully harmonizing the legendary phrase:

“Speaking words of wisdom, let it be."

Starr's beat accompanies the two after about a minute in and the rest of the song continues with the sound melodic dreams are made of.

You can listen to the single below.

Listeners of this collaboration were absolutely blown away.









And they were not only amazed by the McCartney/Starr reunion but also by the addition of Frampton and Fleetwood to the mix.




Parton's Rockstar album - her 49th (!) - is set to drop on November 17. After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, the legendary country music artist decided to record the new genre in order to "earn my keep."

We believe this album will certainly justify the accomplishment... if there ever was any doubt.

Other artists joining Parton on her new venture include: Sting, Steve Perry, Ann and Nancy Wilson, John Fogerty, Joan Jett, Miley Cyrus (also her goddaughter), Debbie Harry, Lizzo, P!nk, Brandi Carlile, Richie Sambora, Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Simon LeBon, Chris Stapleton, Joan Jett, Elton John among others.

What a lineup - November can't get here fast enough!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
