"Eleanor Rigby" is a song by the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. The song is considered baroque pop and art rock and was released as a double A-side single with "Yellow Submarine" on August 5, 1966. 
 
"Eleanor Rigby" continued the transformation of the Beatles from a mainly rock and roll- and pop-oriented act to a more experimental, studio-based band, with a double string quartet arrangement by George Martin and lyrics providing a narrative on loneliness. 
 
The song won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Performance and the NME Award for British Song. The song topped singles charts in Australia, Belgium, Canada, and New Zealand.
