Besame Mucho

Mexican songwriter/performer Consuelo Velazquez created this tune during the late 1940s. Many worldwide listeners of the song don't realize of its Mexican origin. This is one of the first examples of Mexican music being integrated all over the world. The Beatles were known for covering this song, which is featured on their Anthology Boxset. Here is the link if you want to give it a listen.
