Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr， the two living members of The Beatles， have reunited for a cover of their 1970 hit "Let It Be" on country singer Dolly Parton’s coming rock album.

保羅．麥卡尼和林哥．史達，兩名在世的披頭四團員，為了鄉村歌手桃莉．巴頓在即將發行的搖滾專輯中翻唱他們1970年名曲「Let It Be」重聚演奏。

Parton released the single on Friday ahead of the November debut of her album "Rockstar." McCartney sang and played piano while Starr played drums on the recording.

巴頓在她的專輯「搖滾巨星」11月問世前，先行釋出了「Let It Be」單曲。麥卡尼在曲中獻聲並彈奏鋼琴，史達打鼓伴奏。

"I mean， seriously， how much better does it get?" Parton wrote on X， formerly known as Twitter.

「我說認真的，還能比這更好嗎？」巴頓在前身為推特的X上寫道。

The "Rockstar" album was inspired by Parton’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year. It will include nine original songs and 21 covers with an all-star list of collaborators， including Elton John， Miley Cyrus， Stevie Nicks， Debbie Harry， Joan Jett and Chris Stapleton.

「搖滾巨星」專輯是受巴頓去年進入搖滾名人堂所啟發。這張作品包含9首原創歌曲及21首翻唱曲，並與艾爾頓．強、麥莉．希拉、史蒂薇．尼克斯、黛比．哈利、瓊．傑特、克里斯．特普爾頓等多位搖滾明星合作。
