"HEY JUDE" Video Participant, JOEL SOROKA, joins us for an amazing interview. On September 4, 1968, The Beatles filmed the "Hey Jude" promotional film. They did TWELVE takes. New Yorker Joel Soroka was one of the lucky people chosen to appear in the video and sing the extended "Na na" fadeout. Joel even picked up Ringo's tambourine and played it! Joel's our guest on this edition of The Beatles Hour, and he'll take us through his entire magical experience...
