On this day back in 1963, The Beatles first single, "Please Please Me" was released in the US, and Beatlemania came to our shores. From Paul McCartney's first bass notes to the interweaving harmonies to John Lennon's harmonica to the driving melody to the double entendres, this was most Americans' first exposure to an entirely new, electric and, um, pleasing musical form. We (most of us) ate it up and wanted more. It's still one of our favorite Beatles songs, lo these many years. Hope you enjoy, again.
