I Want to Hold Your Hand
Written by the prolific and inimitable duo of Lennon and McCartney, I Want to Hold Your Hand was released and recorded in 1963. It was the group’s first-ever number 1 hit in the United States, effectively triggering the start of ‘Beatlemania’ and beginning the ‘British Invasion’ of the American music industry. The song stayed at number 1 on the Hot 100 for seven weeks, before being dislodged by another Beatles song (She Loves You).
