Paul McCartney makes James Corden cry during emotional 'Carpool Karaoke' 
 
 CLOSE The pair belted out the 1965 classics “Drive My Car” and “Help!” and even stopped by Penny Lane in the latest edition of "Carpool Karaoke." Time 
 
 It turns out, all you need is love and Paul McCartney joining James Corden for an epic and emotional "Carpool Karaoke." 
 
 Naturally, the duo belted out favored Beatles tunes like "Drive My Car," and "Penny Lane" (while cruising down the actual street). But their ride went so much deeper than singing. 
 
 McCartney told Corden he inspiration for "Let It Be" came from a dream he had of his late mom in the 1960s. The singer-songwriter said she was "reassuring me, saying 'It's gonna be OK. Just let it be.' " 
 
 He explained, "I wrote the song 'Let It Be,' but it was (inspired by) her positivity."

 The "Late Late Show" host continued to be touched after they two sang the classic. "It got me emotional there, Paul," Corden confessed wiping tears from his eyes. 
 
 "That's the power of music," McCartney replied. "It's weird isn't it, how that can do that to you?"

 Corden recounted the first time he heard the 1970 ballad. 
 
 "I can remember my granddad, who’s a musician, and my dad sitting me down and saying, ‘We’re gonna play you the best song that you’ve ever heard,’” he shared. “And I remember them playing that. If my granddad was here right now, he’d get an absolute kick out of this.” 
 
 "He is," McCartney assured him. 
 
 McCartney and Corden's journey also took them to McCartney's home where he lived as a teen. The "Maybe I'm Amazed" singer showed Corden where he and John Lennon would write and reflected on his journey. 
 
 The two concluded their time together at a Liverpool pub where McCartney was known to play and have a drink. With Corden behind the bar, McCartney took to the stage and serenaded the unsuspecting audience with songs like "A Hard Day's Night" and "Love Me Do." Corden joined McCartney for a performance of "Hey Jude" which brought one woman to tears. 
 
 Corden, whose son is named after McCartney, tweeted about the clip Thursday saying it was an experience he will "never ever forget." 
 
 Corden also shared his fervor in an interview with USA TODAY. "It's kind of insane, if you think about it — you're talking about possibly the most famous person in the world," he said of their karaoke. "He's the most respected musician on the planet, and that he would come to do a segment on our show is mind-blowing to me."

 James Corden has taken all kinds of musicians out for a ride on his "Late, Late Show" Carpool Karaoke segment. But not have been quite as magical, mystical — or emotional — as Thursday's drive ... with former Beatle Paul McCartney. 
 
 Corden is airing shows from London this week, but took a side trip north to the Beatles' hometown of Liverpool, where McCartney, 76, slipped in alongside him for renditions of classic tunes like "Penny Lane," "Blackbird" and "Drive My Car" (which seemed obligatory, given the circumstances). He also launched into a new hit, "Come On to Me," from his forthcoming album "Egypt Station." 
 
 "I wrote my first song when I was 14," said McCartney. "It was called, 'I Lost My Little Girl.'" Then he even crooned a bit of it! 
 
 And when they actually stopped by the real Penny Lane, they got out so McCartney could add his autograph to one of the signs, and took selfies. Along the way they stopped off in a barbershop (with a barber showing photographs) and met some of the locals on the street. "The last time I was around here, nobody was noticing me at all," McCartney noted. 
 
 But it wasn't just about the music; McCartney is loaded with amazing personal and Beatles history that clearly delighted Corden (who wasn't afraid to poke a little fun by dressing up in Beatles outfits, from the mop-top hairstyle to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" colorful military garb).

 Then things turned a bit heavier; McCartney said he'd once had a dream where his late mother told him everything would be all right. "Just let it be," he said she told him in the dream, which of course led to one of the band's most beloved songs, "Let It Be." 
 
 The pair sang the tune, which left Corden in tears. He noted that his grandfather and his father who played that song for him, and wiped his eyes. 
 
 "That's the power of music," McCartney said. "It's weird, isn't it, how it can do that to you."

 Since they were in Liverpool, McCartney and Corden stopped by the house where the songwriter had lived as a teenager and where he and John Lennon wrote several hit songs. The house is now a member of the UK National Trust and has been preserved as it was back in the day. 
 
 After wandering around the house and noting how the commonplace nature of it inspired his future songs, McCartney invited Corden to the "acoustic chamber," aka the bathroom. "I would spend hours in here with my guitar," said McCartney, taking a seat on the toilet.

 Then he took a seat at the piano and sang, "When I'm 64" while fans gathered outside and took photos. One local said his brother was named after McCartney. 
 
 Ultimately, they ended up at a pub (which also seemed obligatory) and Corden stepped behind a bar, surprising the patrons with McCartney on stage playing with a band. Instantly, the crowd jumped to their feet and clapped along as the band ran through songs like "Hard Day's Night," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Love Me Do" and "Back in the USSR."

 Of course, no McCartney concert would be complete without a rendition of "Hey Jude," and for that he invited Corden to join him. Then it was time for tears and emotional hand waving from the audience as they all sang together on that final, repeating chorus. 
 
 Noted Corden, "I think this is an afternoon not one of us will ever forget." 
 
 Understatement of the year!

 Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
– A day in the life of James Corden often involves cajoling celebrities into his car as he cruises in Los Angeles, where they enjoy conversation and belt out songs together as part of the 'Carpool Karaoke' segment on Corden's Late Late Show. This week, however, the British comedian is airing his show from London, and he recruited a very special passenger for what Today calls the "most emotional yet" of all singalong sessions. Sir Paul McCartney climbed in next to Corden, revealed tidbits about himself and the Beatles, and crooned show-themed songs such as "Penny Lane" (the actual road they were driving on) and "Drive My Car," per USA Today. But then the 76-year-old music legend explained the origin story of "Let It Be," and Corden lost it. "I had a dream in the '60s, where my mom who died came to me in the dream and was reassuring me, saying, 'It's going to be OK. Just let it be,'" McCartney explained, noting he wrote the song based on that dream. "That's the most beautiful story I've ever heard," Corden said, and after they sang the song together, he wiped tears away from his eyes, adding, "That got me emotional there." "That's the power of music. It's weird, isn't it?" McCartney replied. More from their joy ride here.
