The Beatles "All You Need Is Love" Original RIAA White Matte Gold Record Award Presented to The Beatles

The Beatles "All You Need Is Love" original RIAA white matte gold single record award presented to The Beatles. "All You Need Is Love" was released as a non-album single in July 1967. Written by John Lennon, the song credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song was Britain's contribution to "Our World", the first live global television link, for which the Beatles were filmed performing it at EMI Studios in London on June 25. The program was broadcast via satellite and seen by an audience of over 400 million in 25 countries. Lennon's lyrics were deliberately simplistic, to allow for the show's international audience, and captured the utopian ideals associated with the "Summer of Love". The single topped sales charts in Britain, the United States and many other countries, and became an anthem for a generation who believed that "All You Need is Love". Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
