Ringo Starr

Musician

Richard Starkey (born 7 July 1940), known as Ringo Starr, is an English drummer who rose to fame as the drummer of the Beatles and has maintained a solo career since the late 1960s. He recorded hits such as "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy", formed touring All-Starr Bands and has been active in music and film.

Born 7 July 1940 in Liverpool; birth name Richard Starkey; drummer of the Beatles (1960s); solo recording career from late 1960s onward; formed the All-Starr Band; was knighted (Sir Ringo Starr).

DeBaser's reviews paint a mixed portrait of Ringo Starr's solo career: occasional high points (Ringo, It Don't Come Easy) amid many lightweight, playful or uneven records. Reviewers note strong collaborators, like Harrison and Lennon, and recurring praise for his drumming and humour.

For:Beatles fans, classic rock listeners, collectors of 1970s pop-rock

 Good humor, charm, lightness, and lots of irony have always been the indispensable characteristics of Ringo Starr's controversial solo career.

 As in many other works of Ringo, this '81 LP also contains decent material, the tracks composed by the other ex-Beatles are catchy and conceived for the friend's nasal voice.
