Let It Be - Brooke White

I prefer the Beatles version of this song, but I'm trying to introduce people to something different here. I'm pretty sure most people have heard the original tune. This is one of White's better performances on Idol; she appeared on the show's seventh season in 2005. As mentioned by Seacrest in the clip above, this song was the last single released by the group, hitting the shelves in 1970. At the time of its release, the song was the highest debuting single on the Hot 100, starting out at #6.


I found one other version I'd never heard before (see below). The older Jon Bon Jovi gets is the less he can get into that upper register, but Richie Sambora can still hit those high notes. If nothing else, the version below is worth it just for the few seconds we clearly hear Sambora's harmonies over Bon Jovi's lead vocal.
