Bésame mucho - Andrea Bocelli - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The fact that songwriter Consuelo Velázquez was only 15 when she wrote "Bésame mucho" only adds to the song's enigmatic quality. The bolero-led “Bésame Mucho” (“Kiss Me a Lot”) was written in 1941 and inspired by the 1917 Nightingale Aria from the opera Goyescas by Enrique Granados. The Spanish-language song, which tells the tale of unrequited love, was later featured on Andrea Bocelli's romance-themed eleventh album Amore, which was released in January 2006 for the Valentine's Day season, with a Spanish version of the album, Amor, also released that same year. It was also released in Japan in October 2006 as Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta (貴方に贈る愛の歌, A Love Song I Send to You) and featured a bonus track. "Bésame mucho" is one of the most covered songs in Spanish of all time, reworked by everyone from The Beatles (in 1962) and Frank Sinatra (who scored a top ten hit in 1954) to Plácido Domingo (who received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance in 1983).
