Dolly Parton sings The Beatles’ song “Let It Be” with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — listen to it here!

After over 50 years in music, Dolly Parton is now a real rock star. The cherished country legend is finally putting out her long-awaited rock album called “Rockstar,” and she’s teaming up with some of the biggest names in music history to do it.

Dolly just released the latest single from her album, a cover of The Beatles’ timeless song “Let it Be.” Many have covered this beloved tune before, but this one is extra special because it features both living Beatles, Sirs Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!

Few artists can bring together arguably the greatest band ever, but Dolly did it. Although Paul and Ringo have worked together occasionally, having them both on board is still a major achievement.

And if having two Beatles wasn’t enough, the song also includes Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums, making it a truly star-studded recording.

The spiritual, gospel-inspired song is a great match for the 77-year-old country icon, and Dolly gives it her all in her performance — have a listen:

The song has received praise from both critics and fans of Dolly Parton and The Beatles.

One YouTube comment reads, “I got goosebumps from the first few words… by halfway through I was in tears! Thank you, Dolly, Paul, Ringo, and everyone involved in this incredible recording!”

Another comment says, “Great version of an iconic song by the legends themselves! A lively and powerful rendition. Thanks to all!!”

And another emotional comment reads, “No words… just tears… amazing… so much gratitude to these incredible legends for bringing this inspiring piece to a new generation. ‘Let it Be’ is exactly what this world needs right now.”

“Let it Be,” first released in 1970, remains one of the Beatles’ most cherished and inspiring songs. Although credited to Lennon-McCartney, Paul McCartney wrote it after dreaming about his mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, who passed away when he was 14.

Recorded during the band’s famous yet turbulent “Get Back” sessions, it served as the Beatles’ final single before their breakup in 1970. The song also lent its name to their last album, adding a bittersweet connection to the band’s farewell.

Dolly Parton’s album, Rockstar, is set to be released on November 17. She first hinted at making a rock album last year when she turned down her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dolly said she hadn’t “earned the right” to be inducted because she hadn’t made a rock & roll album yet.

“I hope the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and consider me again if I ever deserve it,” she wrote. “This has inspired me to finally make a rock ‘n’ roll album, which I’ve always wanted to do!” She also mentioned that her husband is a “total rock ‘n’ roll fan.”

Rockstar will have some new songs written by Dolly, but mostly it features covers of classic rock songs, often with the original artists joining in.

The track list includes:

  • “Every Breath You Take” featuring Sting
  • “Baby, I Love Your Way” with Peter Frampton
  • “Heart of Glass” with Debbie Harry
  • “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” with Elton John
  • “Free Bird” with Lynyrd Skynyrd

Besides “Let It Be,” Dolly has released two other singles from the album: an original song called “World on Fire” and a cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions”/“We Will Rock You,” which also promotes the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This unusual fruit boasts remarkable health advantages, can you guess what it is?

Beauty is always present in the world around us, and a significant part of its charm lies in the incredible diversity of plants and flowers, stunning rock formations, vibrant hues, enticing fragrances, and unique sights.

If you’re a traveler, you surely understand this feeling. One of the most captivating aspects of exploring a new country is the chance to experience nature in ways you’ve never encountered before.

Now, although I’ve never visited Brazil, I was utterly mesmerized when I stumbled upon an image of the jabuticabeira tree. Curious to learn more? Read on!

For those who may not be familiar, the jabuticabeira tree is native to Brazil, and its appearance is truly striking. What intrigues me most is the peculiar way this tree, also known as the Brazilian Grape Tree, produces its fruit. The jabuticaba fruit, which is a deep purplish-black, grows directly from the trunk, giving the impression that the tree is infested with some strange alien creatures.

However, the jabuticaba fruit is not only edible but is also believed to offer numerous health benefits. It’s said to positively affect respiratory functions and can help alleviate issues like diarrhea. Additionally, it’s thought to open bronchial passages, which can aid conditions such as asthma.

Moreover, the jabuticaba fruit is packed with antioxidants, which may lower the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. This remarkable tree, native to Brazil, allows its fruit to be consumed fresh or transformed into jellies, jams, juices, or even wine. Have you ever come across this stunning fruit before? I certainly hadn’t until now!
