“Love Me Do” on the 50th anniversary of its release for use in filming a story about the Beatles at Liverpool’s historic Cavern Club, the shop that sold the disc. Paul McCartney was only 16 years old when he composed, in 1958, the [Love Me Do] song. John Lennon contributed to the bridge of the song. With only 18 (different) words and mainly 2 (+1) chords they reached No 17 on the UK Record Retailer charts (end of 1962). No wonder that after a while they were composing No 1 hits.
