Besame Mucho

American Idol Season 6 - The Songs

By Bill Lamb, About.com

This song is a Latin pop standard first written in 1940. One interesting element of the song's history is that it was played by the Beatles in their unsuccessful audition for Decca Records in 1962. It was also played at a later successful audition for EMI as well as in the Let It Be film.
