RINGO STARR

RINGO STARR : Aka Richard Starkey. It can't have been easy being Ringo Starr being in the shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, arguably the greatest composers of the 21st century and then there was George Harrison who was no push over either. All three were to become multi millionaire due to their composing talents leaving Ringo, who only have two self composed songs in the entire Beatles canon and another sharing credits with Lennon and McCartney. So was he, indeed, the luckiest man in the world or does he have his own talent. Initially, he was as popular as the other three. In press seasons he could easily hold his own against the others. In America, there was once a petition voting him to be their president albeit in jest."A Hard Day's Night," he was the Beatle who received the most accolades. Of the three. He was the most easy going and most approachable of all, and the only Beatle who have an on going relation with the other Beatles and also the only one who played on all of their records. Indeed, when the Beatles broke up, it was Ringo that they other three were most worried about. They each composed a song for him on his "Ringo" album and that resulted in the closest thing to a Beatles reunion during the early 70's. Initially, believe it or not, Ringo was the most popular of them all, prompting John to remarked to Ringo to write him a hit song. Over the years, although sales of his albums have stalked considerable, he became a popular live acts mingling with ageing rockers that have seen better days. Like his once colleague, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr is still touring today.

Yeah, like him or hate, he is the unexpendable part of the jigsaw puzzle that made up The Beatles.
