In My Life is a 1998 album compiled and produced by Sir George Martin.
Not wanting to leave his final production to chance, Martin released the CD In My Life in 1998. There, he assembled a variety of unexpected instrumentalists, singers, and non-singing vocalists. The CD comprises cover versions of Beatles songs. Jeff Beck's cover of A Day In The Life was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
