Song: “Don’t Let Me Down”
Album: (Not Released on LP)
Paul McCartney called John’s “Don’t Let Me Down” a “genuine
plea” from Lennon to Ono, like he felt he was really taking a chance with her, making
himself vulnerable in this new relationship.
It was recorded during the Get Back sessions on January 28, 1969, but was dropped by Phil
Spector when he finished mixing what ultimately became the album Let It Be, but it was released as the
B-side to the “Get Back” single.
The band performed the song twice during their rooftop
concert two days later, and the version below appeared in the Let It Be film (although I think the audio's been dubbed from the original recording session).
And I think it's safe to say, whatever your feelings about Yoko, that she hasn't, even in the 30+ years since Lennon's death, ever let him down. She continues to be his biggest fan and defender.
