Which band’s last No.1 hit was Let It Be?

All those who said “The Beatles’, go to the bottom of the class. The band in question was Ferry Aid, assembled for a one-off charity single to raise money for victims of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster in 1987. Somehow, it’s been forgotten but it deserves to be remembered because it’s a fantastic piece of music. As good, I would contend, as The Beatles’ original. But then look at that line up: McCartney, obviously, but also Kate Bush, Edwin Starr, Ruby Turner, guitar solos from Mark Knopfler and Gary Moore and Boy George reminding us what a great singer he was. However we must assume that, given the name of the band, Bryan Ferry declined to take part.
