The only Beatles record where the band shared billing. Billy Preston was visiting the Apple offices when George invited him to sit in with the group, as an effort to diffuse tensions in the room during the “Let It Be” album sessions. It succeeded. George briefly quit the band earlier, so John developed the lead guitar part here. This was played during the infamous rooftop concert but was actually recorded a few days earlier. Phil Spector added chatter from before and after the rooftop take for the album (“...and I hope we passed the audition”) but left it off the single. That LP was finally released in May 1970.
