"Let it Be" was composed by Paul McCartney, who sang the song in the album of the same title.
"Let It Be" is a song written by Paul McCartney. The song was first recorded by The Beatles and released as a single in March 1970 and later the same year as the title track of their acclaimed album Let It Be.
Although the song's lyrics are interpreted by some as being a hymn to the Virgin Mary, the song was written as a tribute by McCartney after he had a dream about his mother, Mary, who died when he was fourteen. [1] (John Lennon was allegedly critical of the song upon McCartney's introduction, assuming that 'Mother Mary' was merely an allusion to Christianity.)

Oops, the official answer is Paul.
The master take was recorded on 31 January 1969 as part of the 'Apple studio performance' for the project Get Back. McCartney played the piano (a Blüthner Flügel from Leipzig/former East Germany), Lennon played the bass, Billy Preston played the organ and George Harrison and Ringo Starr assumed their conventional roles. McCartney's lead vocal was backed by Lennon and Harrison (as seen in the film Let It Be). The master take included a quieter guitar solo by George (which can also be seen in Let It Be).

Paul. He also was playing the piano. Interestingly enough, the reference to "Mother Mary" is about Paul's mother who died when Paul was young. Being raised mainly by his father led to his musical influence where at get-togethers he would play piano or sing. The song "When I'm 64" is a influenced by his raising, the song is in the style of music that his dad enjoyed.

Paul McCartney. The song was written about a dream he had about his mother Mary coming to him in a dream. "Mother Mary come to me, let it be."
