The story behind

The Beatles recorded Love Me Do before they were famous, in a time when they were not yet a recognized band. The song was released in the United Kingdom in October 1962, and although it did not reach the top of the charts, it opened the door for them. Later, when they re-released it in 1964, it became a hit. John Lennon and Paul McCartney's voices intertwine, and there is a touch of harmonica that gives it a unique flavor. The song was recorded several times, each time with a different drummer. The first version was with Pete Best, but the one heard on the first single was with Ringo Starr. The structure is simple, with three basic chords, and the lyrics ask for love with a direct tone. It is a song that marked the beginning of something big.
