The landmark recording space, which is still in use, was later renamed Abbey Road Studios.
Recently, Starr and McCartneyteamed up to pay tribute to late bandmate Lennon.
For the new rendition, Starr sings and plays the drums with McCartney on bass and backing vocals. Eagles guitar legendJoe Walsh, who happens to be Starr’s brother-in-law, handles six-string duties.
The single marks the latest collaboration between the last two surviving members of the Fab Four. (Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001.)
Starr revealed he still gets emotional when thinking about his late friend Lennon.
“The idea that John was talking about me in that time before he died, well, I’m an emotional person. I just loved this song. I sang it the best that I could. I do well up when I think of John this deeply,” he said in a statement.
“I’ve done my best. We’ve done our best,” Starr shared. “The other good thing is that I really wanted Paul to play on it, and he said yes. Paul came over and he played bass and sings a little bit on this with me. So John’s on it in a way. I’m on it and Paul’s on it.”
