"Love Me Do" was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Paul wrote the verses and the chorus, while John wrote the middle eight. It did not prove to be the megahit in the UK that nearly every other Beatles single proved to be, peaking at no. 17 on the UK singles chart. It was not released as a single in the United States until 1964, following The Beatles' success with "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," and "Can't Buy Me Love." Given how big The Beatles were in the U.S. at the time, quite naturally it hit no.1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Love Me Do" by The Beatles
This evening I am tired from a long day, so I thought it would leave you with a song. It was 62 years ago today that The Beatles' debut single, "Love Me Do," was released in the United Kingdom. It was also today that the first James Bond movie, Dr. No (1962), premiered in London. There could be a very good argument that October 5 1962 is when the Sixties really began. Anyway, in commemoration of those events, I will leave you with "Love Me Do" by The Beatles.
