about this song
The first song recorded at The Beatles’ EMI audition in June 1962, ‘Besame Mucho’ was a part of the group’s live set during their Hamburg days. The romantic ballad was written in 1940 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, and first recorded by Emilio Tuero. The title translates as ‘kiss me a lot’. The cost of records was high for budding musicians in the 1950s and early 60s, and The Beatles plundered the music collections of friends, relatives and associates wherever they could.
