All You Need Is Love

About

On August 19, 1967, The Beatles scored their 14th U.S. No.1 single with "All You Need Is Love", the first song to premiere live via global satellite performance. For all its merit and well-deserved commendation, what is still perhaps lesser known over a half-century onward is which other internationally beloved voices appear on the the time-honored hit. Encapsulating the idyllic "summer of love" in all its simplistic, utopian splendor, the anthem’s backing vocals are appropriately enlivened by a coterie of friends, lovers and iconic comrades including the likes of Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Asher, Mike McCartney, Pattie Boyd, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash and Keith Moon who were all in attendance for its historic broadcast on that fateful day at Abbey Road.
