Excited to see his old pal, Harrison sent Preston a message inviting him to join the Beatles in the studio. Everybody was happier to have somebody else playing and it made what we were doing more enjoyable.
We all played better, and it was a great session. He had been in a coma since November, when years of drug use caught up with him and he suffered kidney failure. Although Preston played with the likes of Mahalia Jackson and Ray Charles while still a teenager, he was best known for the work he did with the Beatles in , just as the band was beginning to disintegrate. He also accompanied them during their last concert that year, on the roof of Apple Studios in London.

The master take was recorded on 31 January , as part of the 'Apple studio performance' for the project Get Back. This was one of two the performances of the song that day. The first version, designated take A, would serve as the basis for all officially released versions of the song.
The other version, take B, was performed as part of the 'live studio performance', along with Two of Us and The Long and Winding Road. This performance, in which Lennon and Harrison harmonized with McCartney's lead vocal and Harrison contributed a subdued guitar solo, can be seen in the film Let It Be. On 30 April , Harrison overdubbed a new guitar solo on the best take from 31 January that year.
Harrison reportedly overdubbed another solo on 4 January The first overdub solo was used for the original single release, and the second overdub solo was used for the original album release. Some fans mistakenly believe that there were two versions of the basic track — based mostly on the different guitar solos, but also on some other differences in overdubs and mixes.
This version includes orchestration and backing vocals overdubbed on January 4, — under the supervision of McCartney — with backing vocals that included the only known contribution by Linda McCartney to a Beatles song.
It was during this same session that Harrison recorded the second overdubbed guitar solo. The intention at one point was to have the two overdub solos playing together. This idea was dropped for the final mix of the single, and only the April 30 solo was used, although in practice the January 4 overdubbcan he heard faintly during the final verse. Martin mixed the orchestration very low in this version. Someone can also be heard whispering something indistinct at around The single mix was included on the compilation album.
Original pressings erroneously show the running time of as per the Let It Be album , and not the single version's running time of This version features the "more stinging" January 4, guitar solo, no backing vocals except during the first chorus , an echo effect on Ringo 's cymbals, and more prominent orchestration. The other guitar solo can be heard faintly through the right speaker, as the original was planned. There are three lines in the last chorus of the song as the "There will be an answer" line is sung twice instead of once as on the single.
Allen Klein brought in Spector to mix the album without telling McCartney or asking for his agreement because McCartney had not signed Klein's management contract. McCartney later complained that he was not happy with Spector's production of the recording.
At about nine seconds into the song, you can hear Ringo click his drumsticks together by accident.
