Ebony’s First Time Hearing The Beatles | Let It Be | REACTION!! 

The Beatles weren’t a band they were a miracle

And remember - this was recorded over 50 years ago. No auto-tune; no high tech. Just pure, raw talent!

What can you say? The greatest band ever. You’ll have fun checking out all of the timeless classics in their catalog.

Paul McCartney's mother (who died in 1956 of breast cancer) came to him in a dream one night when he was feeling a little stressed, depressed, harried. His mother told him "Let it be" "put away all those fears and doubts, and drugs, and booze, and just let it be, it will all work out".

Greatest band ever!!!!

This was my Dads favourite song of The Beatles. He died of cancer right before Christmas at the age of 69 and we played this song at his funeral this friday. For me this song will forever be connected with my Dad. ❤

George Harrison's beautiful guitar playing comes through strong on this song.

Clean and tasteful guitar work by George.

I lost my Mom last whose name was Mary, this beautiful song give me great comfort, let it be

The magic of the Beatles was their versatility.

Every Beatles song is different!

In any field of life there have been great professionals, great artists, great champions, great musicians, great scientists, but exist also in any of these fields some people different, born to change the rules, the human history, born to become legend, the Beatles have been one these!

Paul McCartney (the one with the beard on the upper right of the album cover) wrote this song about his late mother who came to him in a dream when he was depressed about The Beatles breaking up. Her advice to him was”Let It Be”. Things will work themselves out.

800 million albums sold, nobody comes close!!

The Beatles are a genre all to themselves, because they did all styles of music. From rock to blues, ballads to novelty songs. Their fame, which was literally unprecedented at that time, empowered them to try everything. They were really a gift to the world that will never stop giving.

The Beatles are, and will always be the best

I know I am repeating what a lot of others have said but, THE BEATLES are the GREATEST Rock band that ever was or will ever be

Mary was Paul McCartney's mother. She died when Paul was young. The song describes his thoughts about his "mum" when he would be worried or concerned about things, and she would come to his mind and tell him don't worry about it, let it be, or just let it go.

What takes this song to church is Billy Preston's organ licks at 2:36. Great guitar solo by George. Love the angelic background harmonies, too. Superb!

Best band in history.❤

The Beatles are the gold standard.

He's actually writing about his mother who passed when he was a teenager her name was Mary

Every Beatles song is sooooo different in styles and genre's, genius. The biggest best band ever.

More than a song... it's a hymn!!

These are great words - LET IT BEE, All the troubles with EVERYTHING we have, we have to let it be. THAT'S what it means.

I was 13 when I listened to the Beatles on the radio in 1963. I instantly fell in love with them. "I want to hold your hand" and "She loves you" were my first single. Now I am 73 and I play "Let it be" and "Hey Jude" and "Imagine" on the piano in a retirement home and people still love it. This music is timeless and I am so happy to have experienced it in my youth..... greetings from Germany, Monika.

This is the song that inspired me, as a young teen, to play the piano. I taught myself this song by ear. It took me weeks but I did it! Then I started taking piano lessons.

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.” - Kurt Vonnegut

Look up how this song came to Paul, the song is even more beautiful and transcending knowing that.

The best rock'n'roll band, who ever walk and livd on earth!

Top selling musicians of all time.

Arguably the greatest pop song every recorded. Timeless perfection.

Simply the best band there ever was, and probably ever will be.

Let it be the best song of the Beatles

One of my favorite songs of all time. The Beatles have so many great songs from the beginning of their career to the end. I would love to see your reactions to more of their songs. Thank you.

Ringo on drums was more like a percussionist. Back then, they didnt use the word "percussionist", but that's how he drummed in several Beatles tunes.

I grew up with the Beatles music & had most of their records. They were part of the British Invasion. You can't go wrong with any of their music. They had so many great songs in the 60's. This song is the title track from the final studio album "Let It Be" that was released on May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up. It had a lot of good songs on it. "The Long & Winding Road", "Get Back", "Across The Universe" etc.

The Beatles. A band where the word ‘Legend’ really does apply. Such talented musicians and songwriters who were a complete one-off. Unparalleled ❤❤

This sung stems from a dream Paul had about his late mother, Mary. In the dream she was advising him on what to do about issues within The Beatles. Her advice was to "let it be".

'Hey Jude' is the track that I naturally put alongside 'Let it Be'. The most incredible back catalogue from the most influential music band in history! :)

This song has brought me peace & serenity so many times over the decades. When stressed, I play it in my head.

Great reaction you two. There is no question that analog recordings have an organic quality. Where as digital recording ,in all it's clarity, tends to sound clinical and lacking in soul. Cheers, RNB

The long and winding road is a good one

Sing the songs. All the best. Cheers.

Greatest musical act of ALL time!! You can always count on The Beatles to make you feel great.

Love from Liverpool 👍🙏😊

This song always grabs me. It was the inspiration for me to teach myself how to play the piano back in 1970. I HAD to learn this song. It's one I play and sing to my grandchildren even now. I love this song. Great, heartfelt reaction from you guys. Thanks

I am so grateful that people like you are giving people of other generations the opportunity to hear the music of my generation. Every day I give thanks that I grew up in the 50s, '60s and '70s. I was a musician and actually got a chance to play so much of this music live. I am thankful that my generation gave the world so much incredible music as a legacy.

Mother Mary. Paul's mother was Mary. She died when he was 14 and came to him in a dream when the Beatles were having difficulties with each other in 1969 saying, "Let it be."

I love his description of the natural sound of this recording and that it sounds like you are in the room with the Beatles as they are playing. 🎤🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶🎵❤️

The best to ever do it 💙

I love Ringo's drumming on this. Amen.

I remember hearing this song for the 1st time back in middle school in the seventies. Was already a fan of the early Beatles from the sixties, this just pushed it higher.

You just arrived at the foot of the Musical Himalayas. Enjoy the climb of musical greatness.

The clarity and quality of the recording is amazing particularly when you realise it was done 53 years ago! Always at the forefront of recording technology in the 8 or so years they recorded together the massive changes they oversaw and indeed heralded is nothing short of miraculous.

What a wonderful reaction. I will check out more of your reactions.

I've been listing to The Beatles a lot for the past 20 years. And this song is one of the very best. Probably in top 5. btw. Thanks for great reaction!

React more the beatles 😎 I recommend react "I'm Only sleeping" and "I've got a feeling" by them

Pure genious

Beautiful reaction. Both of you are very articulate and insightful. An excellent team. Thanks!

Timeless and beautiful

My favorite Beatles song I love Harrison's solo it's just good these guys had so much talent this is such a a powerful and emotional song

Love those great Beatles tune’s AWESOME

I remember when they first came to America....(Class of 71)FortSill Indn-Sch: Lawton,Okla.

@Ebony &Ivory- This was Paul McCartney singing and When he refers to mother Mary he is talking about his mom. Her name was Mary and she died When Paul was just a teenager. The same with John Lennon. His mom also died when he was a teenager. So they both had that in common.

Great reaction. Thank you. I agree about how distracting videos can be, especially those made after the Beatles broke up!

You have to start going through there catalog, they are AMAZING BAND

Paul's mother was called Mary. He had a dream of her saying 'let it be'. So the underlying theme isn't religious, though they made it ambiguous deliberately and played with the religious imagery. :)

A+ reaction… I love the fact you don’t interrupt genius given your commentary I prefer reactions to live performances

This one was played at my dads funeral last year… he loved The Beatles, as do I. And today my lovely cat passed away because of cancer.. My greatest comfort throughout the hard times 😿 I’m on a Beatles reaction feel today. Lovely reaction you two to this beautiful song. 🙏🏼 May my fluffy beautiful Missan 🐈 Rest In Peace now ❤️

As there were no videos back then, you heard it the way we all did when it first came out. I think videos usually detract from the music.

You know Paul, who wrote and sang this song, also has a song called Ebony and Ivory. Maybe you should check it out.

Remember when it first came out , golden times.

You should check out Paul McCartney and Wings, Maybe I'm Amazed

I wish all Reactioners would only listen, not watch

Nice reaction ... looking forward to more from the Beatles? Cheers

Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote this song. He said his mother, who died when he was 14, came to him one night in his sleep, when he was worrying about something, and just said 'Let it be'. And Paul Mccartney, who has written more hit songs than anyone, alive or dead, turned those 7 letters, just 3 simple words, into one of the the greatest songs ever written. That is musical genius.

One video that you should watch is The Beatles appearing on the Dick cavett show where they sing their song hey Jude and halfway through the song they have the crowd stand up clapping and singing with them. It's a must experience.

The Beatles are a humble group.

Oh my- haven't heard this song???

The 'Mother Mary' in the song is not the Virgin Mary. Paul's mother was named Mary. She died when he was 14-years-old.

To me, Let it Be, Hey Jude, And Yesterday were the best of the best!

Yes! George's guitar....ain't that something?

The Music of the Beatles are Soulfood. Paul McCartney write and play Piano sing Let it be. They blow up my Brain when i was 13 (1980) i heard Strawberry Fields forever (Voice John Lennon), first time and Change my Life. And John, Paul, George and Ringo safe my Life, when i become 2019 the diagnosis Morbus Parkinson. The Fab Four give me so much Help for the Fight to the bad Ghosts in this time. And my Special Day was a Concert in The Westfalenhalle Dortmund Germany 1993. I stand in the first Line and Paul sings 3 Meters for me. you both are natural and Great, thank for start my Memories :-) Greetings from Germany.

not a Beatles fan but i like this song very very much

How about that brilliant guitar lead solo in the middle by George Harrison.

IMHO let it be is the greatest song ever recorded!

Paul’s mother’s name was Mary and her words of wisdom to him was “let it be”

Paul (vocalist on this song) wrote this song about his mother coming to him in a dream during an especially stressful part of his life. His mothers name was Mary and she had died when he was 14 years old. Obviously a very personal and very spiritual piece.

Saving Rock n Roll one Beatles jam @ a time.😎

Good honest reaction. It's my first time here. I love the name of your channel.

Billy Preston played the organ on this song and was hence known as the 5th Beatle…

My favorite Beatles (Paul McCartney) song

I find it hard to believe that people doing music reactions have not heard iconic songs from really not that long ago. Not only this video but across the music reaction spectrum.

Heaven Sent Inspiration

When humankind is exploring other orbs in our solar system for future habitation, The Beatles' music will be played on the shuttles.

They are so diverse and their music styles especially after 1966 to 70 every song is completely different I mean it's almost like they tried to make it different jazz band rock band honey pie Helter Skelter why don't we do it in the road please please me just so diverse you'll love it

I guess they would have heard the song "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney...

❤❤

First time. New to the planet, huh 😊
