A little stab at the Beatles' "Let it Be" which came out shortly after. Damn fine song. Dripping with the sarcasm that only the Stones can convey.

@JumpyJack Belated reply copies from a different web site: Quote: ""Let It Be", of course, came first......

I believe that the Beatles and Stones having similarly titled songs was, in this instance, just a coincidence. Of course, there are many parallels between the Beatles and the Stones in the 60's, but most of that was the Stones following in the Beatles' footsteps.

"Let It Be" was the far better song.
