Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox album In My Life is a 1998 album compiled and produced by George Martin. It consists almost entirely of cover versions of The Beatles songs which Martin produced originally, together with one original composition "Friends and Lovers".

It features musicians like Celine Dion, Phil Collins and Bobby McFerrin, alongside the actors Robin Williams, Sean Connery, Billy Connolly, Goldie Hawn and Jim Carrey.

Jeff Beck's version of "A Day in the Life" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 2000.

Reception

Шаблон:Album reviews Writing for Allmusic, music critic Cub Koda wrote "The results are in the true George Martin orchestrated tradition, with several interesting twists and turns along the way." Conversely, Sarah Zupko of PopMatters wrote Martin "has chosen to go out with a whimper instead of a bang" and of the album in general; "I don’t really have to tell you that Goldie Hawn impersonating a chanteuse on “A Hard Day’s Night” or Sean Connery literally reading “In My Life” is an embarrassing display, do I?"
