I wonder if these youngsters fully realize they have just covered what could be the best 15 minutes of rock music ever.

[@morriswilburn9858]

As a senior citizen, it is so encouraging to see the new generation singing real music, not the garbage so common nowadays.

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

This is proof that Beatles songs will live forever!

I'm 62 years old and I don't have the words sufficient to express how moved I am by this. Thank you to all of the kids ,.teachers ,.parents and other adults who combined to make this happen

[@malcolmgilbert3420]

I'm 72, and it moved me to tears. ❤❤❤❤

[@marinatrujillo6150]

Love to see them. I'm 71 and I'm from South America. The Beatles filled my life with music and joy.

[@Realbillball]

Yes, kids. That is the work of The Beatles. The greatest band that ever existed. In your lifetimes you will never experience a band like that and neither will your grandchildren. Really loved listening to you.

[@gribwitch]

Well said, that person !

[@beabullfrankthetank5023]

Imagine that. An elementary school choir director teaching his students the great music, before they're exposed to the bad. Bravo!!!

[@timmellin2815]

Amen to that ! "before they're exposed to the bad." So true.

"... the children of the 21st century will be listening to the Beatles..." - Brian Epstein And singing to their tunes as well.

[@Appleholic1]

.....and the 22nd also.

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

I started loving the Beatles when I was 10 or 11 years old. If my school had done this when I was a kid, I would’ve been in heaven! Kudos to all the kids and adults for all the hard work!

[@stephencrider8076]

That was great. A new generation introduced to the Beatles. Their music will never die.

[@cortezhk]

It is amazing that those kids are singing Beatles which is 50+ years ago. Good work to share good stuff on and on .. 👍

[@leegreenwood6316]

It's so good to see young people being introduced to the Beatles..

[@lloydpinto623]

The future for these kids is very bright.

[@normnicklette5694]

Congratulations from a dedicated Beatle fan who cut his (guitar) teeth listening to none other than the Beatles.

[@QClubs]

These kids are FABulous.

[@jimgraham4673]

What a truly cool thing to do for these kids. If this happened to me I would remember it for my whole life.

[@robertdocwaltz7847]

First heard Abbey Road in 1969 in Vietnam. A buddy had a turntable, and his mom sent the album to him. Thanks so much for this performance. It warms the heart and heightens the spirit.

[@brainguy3263]

I enlisted and served in 1970. We listened to the Beatles every day. We often talked about what we thought about the war, with Beatle songs playing. I disagreed with the war but I always felt that disagreeing with your government was no excuse for not serving your country. I figured if nothing else, I could help keep people alive while I prayed God would give our leaders a brain.........much respect my friend, and may life always be good for you.

[@lrsmith]

Abbey Road is the first album I bought. I was 9.

[@guillermodozal628]

Those unforgettable, beautiful Beatles’ songs, coupled with those innocent, beautiful faces; life is a joy.

[@danharrow7458]

Absolutely wonderful, this is not an easy piece to perform. So to all the kids and teachers involved thank you so much.

[@scottamichie]

The Beatles never performed it of course. They never performed their mid to late great music from revolver on live as a band other than an occasional TV show or special appearance (roof concert). Imagine the stones playing gimme shelter one time in studio to record it, then never again playing it ever as a band; or Sinatra recording my way one time in studio and never again singing that song. It’s unprecedented in recording history. One of many ways the Beatles were unique.

[@EricCubed956]

Whenever we read about war, waste, abuse and cruelty, let us watch this and have hope for the next generation.

[@mireyga7983]

This is the most wholesome thing I have seen in a while

[@MT02MHT]

What a fabulous performance by the pupils and teachers. They brought the music to life and made it feel almost like the Beatles were back.! Thank you for this recording. It was wonderful.

[@reignman0311]

Amazing, the young faces of innocence singing the beatles really touches my soul, Kudo's to teachers at BHC for this wonderful presentation....

[@richardscally694]

The wonderful, new generation of Beatle fans.

[@anthonywilliams6764]

This upload is deeply moving on many levels, not least that after fifty years children are being taught the beauty of modern pop music, by teachers who have the desire to ensure that the highest quality of composition, arrangement, and technical challenge can be replicated at every level , and the proof is here for all to enjoy. I was working in London as a guitarist singer at that time in the 1960's in the Soho district which had live music everywhere. The whole Abbey Road and the White Albums were meticulously copied and performed by my musical friends, and this short but beautiful film has brought tears of joy to my eyes , to think that the music still lives and plays a part in the next generation of young students. Thank You most deeply.

[@juanm9073]

Para un forofo de los Beatles este video es un placer. As a beatle fun , is a pleasure watching this video . Oh yeshhhh!!🤪🎼💞🇪🇦🇬🇧

[@stevegardner3976]

This whole album is fantastic. On the fifth anniversary, I looked up this album up to find out what a used "Abby Road" album in 1-3 condition went from $1,500 - $750. So I went into my room, I found more great albums than I knew about. I found TWO! " ABBY ROAD" albums. Now I could definitely use the money. Instead I'm giving all my records and I have alot! of beatle, album and singles also Beach Boy albums and so on. I giving them all to my two great nephew's.

[@scottamichie]

These lovely school kids are more than the “next” generation, they’re the 3rd generation of Beatles fans…and on and on…

[@lonelycrona2388]

the producion quality is seriously great. the only thing that's throwing me off a little is that they're singing with a thick American accent but that's very nitpicky... they did great after all

[@paullim8042]

Well put, Anthony. I hope BHC and other school choirs will still be doing the Beatles another 50 years from now.

[@lonewave1]

Everyone did a good job. Hats off to there production person and the arranger[s]. Very surprised about the selection.

[@evgenyvorobyev3577]

So moving!! The kids are simply awesome!. I'm so glad and privileged to have existed when the Big 4 were around!!

[@user-vt1ix6tn8f]

Everyone did a magnificent job. It was great seeing kids do the music of the Beatles. Beatles music will live on for a very long time like Mozart and Beethoven.

[@youngster8548]

Great job for introducing The Beatles to these kids! Such sweet voices

[@scottamichie]

Yes. Introduce school kids to this vast great music…but I’ll bet many of them are singing familiar music they already knew from their parent and grandparents (and older siblings)!

[@andyalviar9053]

Beatles songs will forever live in the psyche of people who listened to them growing up and sharing it with these young kids. So good to hear them sing the Beatles songs. Rock on kids.

[@brucemitchell8787]

+We recorded several videos of pop music at my elementary school, but none rose to this level of musicianship. Bravo Barton Hills!

[@rudyxrudy]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one will ever know how The Beatles did it..... these children are the greatest!!~!! TYYYYY

[@roymatthews8500]

Wonderful to hear children enjoying singing this beautiful music. Well done to all involved... The Beatles live on in all of us x

[@keithrose5755]

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant if it was on cd I'd buy it

[@rocketpost1]

A joyous film and quite emotional too. The kids seemed to be having a ball and the solo singers were all very good. I can't believe that the Beatles' music still has such an impact on me after all these years. Good music will always endure.

[@conusraumer]

Many THANKS from Germany for singing and playing this medley - it´s one of my favourite songs by the Beatles. Well done. Roland.

[@gennabingochea7118]

Absolutely fantastic. The keyboardist, guitarist, drummer and singer we're superb, down to each precise note from the album These kids were so good. Amazing accomplishment

[@skygazer858]

I've always been a big fan of choir in school. Most of my fondest school memories from the 70s were from choir. I will say, I was never that big of a fan of the Beatles, but I knew every word as I sang along.

[@wiliburysteve]

Wow! Brilliant effort all round. The Beatles music is part of the fabric of life, & subsequent generations continue to discover them. A lot of hard effort has gone into producing this, & I'm sure the happy memory will stay with all involved always 😊❤🎶🎵🎶

[@OnePost909]

I can't remember the last time I laughed in absolute delight at a piece of music. Between this beautiful piece, the juggler guy (Chris Bliss), and Cirque du Soleil, we have proof positive Beatles music will last forever, because 50 years later, kids and artists are responding to it, liking it, building their own projects around it.

[@jamesnack3077]

Thank you to the people who helped to encourage these young people to appreciate song writers and performers of the 60s. Perhaps they will carry the vision forward.

[@Joe_Peroni]

Americans, obviously. At first I thought they were Brits. I'm very impressed by their singing! AND with the guys who are playing the instruments! I grew up in Glasgow, a few hundred miles from Liverpool, home of The Beatles, during the Beatles' "heyday". I can somehow manage to sing EVERY lyric of EVERY Beatles hit single, 1962-66. "Somehow", because I never "learnt" these by rehearsing, or study. They just "got into my head"! So I have 31 of these on a CD, which I sing along to, often!😄🎼

I have to say that was fantastic! It brought tears to my eyes. To see a generation much younger then the Beatles or my own sing this masterpiece. These kids, some appreciate it now but eventually all of them will live this experience forever in their hearts and souls. God bless them and the Beatles.
