Paul McCartney wrote “The Long and Winding Road” at his Scottish farm with Ray Charles in mind. But when Phil Spector added an enormous orchestra, harp and choir to the Beatles recording, Paul demanded changes.

The album was released unchanged, and the song became the Beatles’ twentieth and final U.S. number-one hit.
