DANG! I didn't know he had Rick Derringer and Edgar Winter touring with him! That's a show I wouldn't mind seeing!

A guy whose drumming skills were often overlooked because of those who stood in front of him on stage.

Happy Birthday Richard/Ringo http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...lies/Party.gif

You know I don't think ol' Ringo gets quite enough credit as a drummer. I read a couple years ago about some fun testing they did where they got a group of people together and played them the (isolated) drum tracks from a bunch of classic rock songs.

Far and away, more Beatles tunes were correctly identified by more people just from the drum tracks than recordings by anyone else.

Of course I don't know diddley about the fine art of drumming* but I sure do like his beats.

And I guess this means John would've been 70 come October. *sniff*

*"Real" musicians, please feel free to insert your own snicker here.

As a boy growing up in the 1980s there is one thing that I associated with Ringo Starr long before I heard of the Beatles...

I don't dispute your choice but I think there are quite a few tracks that could be singled out :DL

One of Ringo's first vocal ventures was a Beatles cover of Carl Perkins' 'Honey Don't', which appeared on Beatles For Sale (US Beatles '65). Perkins liked hearing other people doing his songs, and here they are together.

Very much the forgotten Beatle, no?

'Oh, yeah, there was Ringo, too.'
