Hans Hot 100 Beatles Songs: #62 : ‘The Long And Winding Road’- The Beatles 20th and final #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Paul McCartney’s ‘The Long And Winding Road’- from Let It Be- one of 5 songs from that album to crack the Hans Hot 100. A song that would be rated higher I’m sure by many others- I’ve always felt that it falls a little short of its reputation. Maybe its the recording- Paul wasn’t pleased at all over Phil Spector’s orchestral and choral overdubs on Let It Be– decades later on Let It Be..Naked -Paul removed the overdubs- but to me it still falls short of masterpiece status.
