Besame Mucho by Consuelo Velázquez played on a chromatic harmonica..

"Bésame Mucho" is a Mexican song written in 1940 by Consuelo Velázquez before her sixteenth birthday. According to Velázquez, she was inspired by an aria from a Spanish opera by Enrique Granados.

Emilio Tuero was the first to record the song. It has since been performed by many artists including, notably, The Beatles. The Beatles played "Bésame Mucho" along with fourteen other songs as part of their unsuccessful audition for Decca Records on January 1, 1962, with Paul McCartney on lead vocals. The Beatles would play "Bésame Mucho" again when they auditioned for EMI (and finally earned a record contract) on June 6, 1962. The June performance, featuring original Beatles' drummer Pete Best, was included on the 1995 compilation album Anthology 1. The Beatles also perform "Bésame Mucho" in their documentary film Let It Be.

The composition has been used on the soundtrack of numerous films including Great Expectations, A toda máquina, Moon Over Parador, Sueños de Arizona, Arizona Dream, Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and Mona Lisa Smile.

"Bésame Mucho" is also known by translated names such as "Kiss Me Much", "Kiss Me a Lot", "Kiss Me Again and Again", "Embrasse-Moi" and "Stale Ma Boskavaj".
