Ringo is 70!
It hardly seems possible.
I remember so well when the Beatles arrived on these shores in February of 1964. It seems like yesterday.
Ringo didn't often get to sing lead, but when he did he made the most of it.
Linked below are the handful of Beatles songs featuring Ringo on lead. If you have a favorite, please let us know. Comments are welcome!
As always, many thanks for stopping by!

It is hard to believe Ringo is 70 ...however, he is still going strong and still entertaining the public...I like his song, "With A Little Help From My Friends." Happy Birthday Ringo!

My fav is 'With a Little Help From My Friends'. I love your collage of photos from the Hardrock. I can't believe he's 70! (he and Jimmy were born in the same year--uncanny, right?!?) LOL

My sincere thanks to everyone! I think my favorite is "Boys," which was on "Introducing the Beatles" (VeeJay records), issued in 1964, and comprising material recorded before the Boys signed their label deal with Capitol.

So hard to believe that Ringo has turned 70! I was never a Beatles girl...I'm a Stones fan from way back! I listened to everyone of the songs you posted Richard and reminisced...agh they were the good ol' days. Love the image above.

Hard to imagine Ringo is now 70...he looks well for a fellow of such seniority..do you think he uses any touch of gray?

Richard Knight said (14 Jul 2010):
Thanks again, everyone. If Elvis would have been 75 (last January 8), I guess it isn't surprising that Ringo is 70. Sue, I have some "Stones" music in the cue.

Cool! But, according to my dad years ago, the Beatles were the cause of the downfall of America!

Richard Knight gave props (15 Jul 2010):
Les, your dad rushed to judgment! LOL. In my opinion, it was "disco" that almost brought the Great Republic down!
