McCartney primarily wrote the debut single in 1959. The song features Lennon’s harmonica with duet vocals by him and McCartney.

Three different versions of the single were released, each with a different number. “Love Me Do” was the fourth of six songs to hit #1 in a one-year period by the fab four. Fun fact: Lennon & McCartney wrote a song for their friends in a well-known band. Guess which band they wrote, “I Wanna Be Your Man” shortly.
