The single that introduced music icons The Beatles to the world is officially 60-years old.
Love Me Do was the Fab Four's first official single, originally released in the UK on October 5, 1962. Only hitting number 17 in the UK music chart, it went on to top the US charts on its release in the US two years later.
Despite not topping the British charts, it was the song that launched the four lads from Liverpool to the wider world. It's still one of the most instantly recognisable Beatles songs, breezing in with John Lennon playing a bluesy harmonica intro before the title of the song is sung in its first line of the first verse.
