Watch: Paul McCartney, Jack White, Dave Grohl and President Obama sing “Hey Jude”
Last night was a pretty big evening for Sir Paul McCartney. He was honored at the White House and received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Not only did he receive the award but he had an all-star lineup performing at the White House in honor of him.
Artists like Dave Grohl, Jack White, Corinne Bailey Rae, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder and more paid tribute to the former Beatle by performing some his songs. Grohl took on the Wings classic “Band On The Run” and White sang “Mother Nature’s Son” to name a few. But the biggest performance of the night came at the very end.
Consequence of Sound found a video (courtesy of ABC News) of Sir Paul, White, Grohl, Jerry Seinfeld and even President Obama singing the timeless Beatles song “Hey Jude” all together. You can check out the two-minute clip down below. The reason there isn’t more video as of right now is because the whole ceremony was filmed for PBS and will air on July 28th. So until the show hits your TV screen, this will have to do…unless more clips leak onto the interwebs. Which I’m sure will happen sooner or later. Enjoy!

Hey, I love Sir Paul so much. I was wondering if you would want to talk about the Beatles at some point. Also, I really liked you Beatles episode.
