'If These Walls Could Sing' salutes Abbey Road, where Beatles thrived
Rarely do you see Elton John – a Grammy-winning Knight of the British Empire – behaving like a bona fide fan boy.
Yet that’s precisely what happens midway through the new documentary “If These Walls Could Sing” (Disney+, streaming Friday), Mary McCartney’s touching tribute to the myriad artists, ranging from The Beatles to Oasis, who recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios.
John recalls a day in 1969 when he was just a young session piano player on the Hollies’ “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother." Suddenly, Paul McCartney appeared and promptly sang the recently released “Hey Jude” to the slack-jawed group.
“He probably has no idea what that moment meant to me, but hopefully now he does,” says John, visibly moved.
