Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey (his nickname comes from the fact that he used often wear rings, "ring" in English ...), drummer of the legendary Beatles .
Opinions on his musical skills are contradictory to the truth: we can certainly say that he shone with reflected light in the presence of his "fellow travelers" ... But who would not do it in front of the pure genius of Paul McCartney , John Lennon and George Harrison ?!?
Specifically then, when someone accuses him of not having any technique in playing the drums, while others consider his style "boring" but very precise and appropriate to the sound of the quartet from Liverpool.
the dissolution of the Beatles , which occurred in 1970, embarked on a solo career (as the rest of the band), and reaches its peak in 1973 with the release of "Ringo" .
The record, into the mountains of the world rankings, is also hailed by critics and boasting collaborations with big names in music, including Billy Preston , Marc Bolan , Harry Nilsson and above the other three Beatles , which however never sound the same song simultaneously.
The single from which reached number one in both the UK charts than in the U.S. is a cover of a piece written in 1960 by brothers Robert and Richard Sherman : "You're Sixteen (You ' re Beautiful And You're Mine) ".
choirs are to adorn Harry Nilsson and solo "Kazoo " played by Paul McCartney And a nice video in which Ringo is accompanied by a young Carrie Fisher (at the time was about 16 years for the note), who later became famous for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the Star Wars trilogy .
Riascoltiamoci this song and then we review our "Ringo boy" ... the limits of the law! :)
