COOL COVERS | Norah Jones' Mesmerizing Rooftop Performance of "Let It Be" on the Empire State Building

It’s not every day you witness something that makes New York City stand still. But here’s Norah Jones, perched on top of the Empire State Building, delivering a hauntingly soulful rendition of The Beatles' “Let It Be.” With the sprawling cityscape as her backdrop, her voice cuts through the chaos like a beam of light. This isn’t just a cover—it’s an experience. The melancholy of her piano, the raw emotion in her voice—it all feels like a love letter to the city itself. It’s a moment that makes you feel both the grandeur and intimacy of music in one breathtaking sweep. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out on something truly extraordinary.

On January 30, 1969, The Beatles famously staged their final live performance on the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters in London’s Savile Row. Norah performed two rooftop tribute performance videos of Beatles songs from the Let It Be album (“I’ve Got A Feeling” and “Let It Be”), recently filmed with her band on the rooftop of New York’s Empire State Building.
