No, it's not technically an example of apostrophe. To be one, it would have to go something like 'Oh the most beautiful of ladies! When I touch you I feel happy inside..' etc. To remain with the Beatles: I believe you could say the song 'My sweet Lord' has the form of an apostrophe (elevated direct address to an absent worshipped figure). The line you are asking about is just a more mundane rhetorical gesture of announcing the speaker's intentions, introducing the topic of the message.

I met Bob Wilbur soon after I joined ABC as a staff announcer in 1963. A world famous musician, Bob was a member of the ABC staff musicians. Members were assigned to various
orchestras and groups within the overall staff of great sidemen. They were all ABC properties and worked for years until disbanded when the radio network ended its long standing contract with them as network radio ceased to be valued with live radio's demise in the late sixties, as I remember. TV used them as the ABC Symphony Orchestra for shows such as The Railroad Hour to my recall. Bob Wilbur is a gem and should be honored by all. Allan jefferies, a fellow ABC staff announcer, now retired, was host of a network radio show in which Bob Wilbur was often a guest, now lives in Pine Hurst, North Carolina.
