It's time for the all-new, third installment in our series presenting repertoire from the latter period of The Beatles' career, interpreted by some of the finest artists in Black music. Today's show features soul heroes like Al Green and Isaac Hayes, jazz greats such as Sarah Vaughan and Jimmy Scott, Gospel artists (and onetime Bob Dylan backup singers) Clydie King and Regina McCrary (with The McCrary Sisters), plus the exquisite Lena Horne, official Fifth Beatle Billy Preston, and many more. Including a salute to recent Beatles documentary Get Back, and a suite of songs from early in the solo Beatles era. Tune in and #supportKBOO!
