The 67th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, marked a historic night for music as The Beatles’ final song, ‘Now and Then,’ took home the award for Best Rock Performance. This victory served as a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of the Fab Four, proving that their music remains as relevant and impactful today as it was in the 1960s.
‘Now and Then,’ a song decades in the making, was completed using state-of-the-art AI technology to isolate John Lennon’s voice from a 1970s demo. The track also featured guitar parts recorded by George Harrison in the 1990s, along with new contributions from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The result was a hauntingly beautiful track that bridged generations, becoming a global sensation upon its release in late 2023.
The Grammy win was more than just an award; it was a celebration of the band’s unparalleled contribution to popular culture. During the ceremony, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr expressed their gratitude, acknowledging the emotional journey of finishing a song started so long ago. The success of ‘Now and Then’ has sparked a renewed interest in the band’s catalogue, ensuring that the magic of The Beatles will continue to inspire artists and fans for decades to come.
