The Beatles recorded the John Lennon penned tune ‘Across the Universe.’ Two Beatles fans were invited in off the street to sing background harmonies on the track. They were 16-year-old Lizzie Bravo and 17-year-old Gayleen Pease.

They were so excited. They couldn’t believe they’d actually been invited by Paul not just inside the building but into the studio itself, to sing with The Beatles.
