"Let It Be Me" is a 1960 single by The Everly Brothers. The song is an English-language cover of "Je t'appartiens", which had been released as a single in France by Gilbert Bécaud in 1955. The song was a top ten hit for The Everly Brothers in the United States and spawned many additional cover versions.

Background and release

"Let It Be Me" is based on "Je t'appartiens", which was written in by Gilbert Bécaud and his frequent collaborator, lyricist Pierre Delanoë.[1] Delanoë reportedly wrote the lyrics for Bécaud as an apology for missing one of the singer's performances at the Olympia in Paris.[2] The song, sung by Bécaud, was released as a single by His Master's Voice in 1955.[3]

The Everley Brothers recorded their version of "Let It Be Me" after the song was recommended to them by producer Archie Bleyer. They recorded the song in December 1959 in New York with guitarists Howard Collins, Barry Galbraith, and Mundell Lowe; bassist Lloyd Trotman, pianist Hank Rowland, and drummer Jerry Allison. The song was released by Cadence Records as a single in 1960, with "Since You Broke My Heart" as the B-side.[4]
