"Hey Jude". The Ballad evolved from "Hey Jules," a song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce. More than seven minutes in length, "Hey Jude" was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks as number one in the United States - the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles single, and broke the record for longest stay at #1.
