Let It Be
Don't resist fate
Let It Be is the final studio album released by the Beatles in 1970, though largely recorded before Abbey Road.
The title track, written by Paul McCartney, features the repeated phrase as a kind of secular hymn, with "Mother Mary" offering words of wisdom.
The album and its documentary captured the band's dissolution. (Lowercase let it be is the common expression.)
