Happy 83rd birthday to Beatles drummer Ringo Starr! To celebrate, here's his catchy 1973 solo hit "Photograph," co- written with George Harrison in the early stages of Starr's very long (and continuing) post- Beatles career. It features Harrison on 12-string guitar, Nicky Hopkins on piano, Jim Keltner on drums, Bobby Keys on sax, and Klaus Voorman on base, among others. (Some of the clips in the video are from the "Concert for George" on November 29, 2002.) Hope you enjoy!
One of the two surviving members of The Beatles turns a young 81 today. Iconic drummer Sir Ringo Starr MBE (born Richard Starkey), as most know, wasn't the first drummer for the band, but he was the best by far and is perhaps the most beloved member of the group, who usually played the carefree and befuddled member.
Here are some tunes with him as lead singer, showing both his playful side on Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" and more serious side on "It Don't Come Easy," and "Photograph."
