The AMAZING Dolly Parton.    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dolly-parton-let-it-be-cover_n_64e0da35e4...

Have a listen.  The track is part of Parton’s upcoming “Rockstar” album, which is slated to include nine original songs and a bevy of covers.

“Well, does it get any better than singing ‘Let It Be’ with Paul McCartney who wrote the song? Not only that, he played piano!” Parton said in a statement about the new release. “Well, it did get even better when Ringo Starr joined in on drums, Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood playing percussion.”

McCartney made his stamp of approval clear in a comment underneath the song on YouTube.

“Thanks Dolly for doing my song,” said the English singer-songwriter. “I love your version and am very pleased to be by your side on this one. Rock on !”

Would be nice to see a video of the recording instead of just the album cover, but good job Dolly! You are awesome.

Dolly's no stranger to gospel, and I always thought Let It Be had some gospel roots, maybe because of Billy Preston's part in the original. Dolly nails it, but I think it's kind of a funny pick for an album named Rockstar.

Frampton's solo is pretty darn tight too. Four and a half minutes well spent.
