Get Back

Another of those Beatles numbers where the performance saves all. "Get Back," of course, was the intended title of what became Let It Be (the movie, album, and break-up), but the lyrics don't support that thought very well. (What is it with that Sweet Loretta Martin, anyway? She doesn't sound like she's ready to get back to anything.) But The Beatles' pounding guitars, helped along by Billy Preston's keyboard, get the idea across quite effectively. (Footnote: Preston later performed the song himself in the abominable Sgt. Pepper movie and was suitably embarrassing, as was most of the movie.)
