I can’t believe how long ago this was! »Love me do» is an awesome song and we all love Paul Mccartney and John Lennon!
The Beatles brought the house down on October 17th, 1962, with their performance of “Love Me Do.” This is one of their most popular songs to date. “The Fab Four” changed the music industry when they performed their debut single on the People and Places television show. They played their hit song, which marked the humble beginnings of their career.
“Love Me Do” was the song that started the British invasion. Though it’s their very first performance, it’s still not considered as their breakout performance. The Beatles went on to perform The Ed Sullivan Show, where they were seen by millions. That was the very time when The Beatles captivated fans across the pond in the U.S.
However, there is no official footage of The Beatles performing on People and Places in 1962. For now, fans will have to settle for this video of them playing “Love Me Do” during their earlier years. You can see the original four men wearing their signature mod suits and bowl haircuts.
«Love Me Do» is the debut single by the English rock band the Beatles, backed by «P.S. I Love You». When the single was originally released in the United Kingdom on 5 October 1962, it peaked at No. 17; in 1982 it was re-promoted (not re-issued, retaining the same catalogue number) and reached No. 4. In the United States the single was a No. 1 hit in 1964. In 2013, recordings of the song that were released in 1962 entered the public domain in Europe.
The song was written several years before it was recorded, and prior to the existence of the Beatles. The single features John Lennon’s prominent harmonica playing and duet vocals by him and Paul McCartney. Three different recorded versions of the song by the Beatles have been released, each with a different drummer.
