The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” arrived as a standalone single in August 1968 ahead of the group releasing their classic White Album later that year. The track remains a staple of McCartney’s solo concerts.

In other news, The Beatles’ legendary 1969 rooftop performance from Get Back was recently released as a live album on major streaming platforms for the first time.
