Thanks to Linda for reminding me of this song, and so many decades later it is still great. I am bit too young for The Beatles (take that, kapow).
I've never really taken notice of Ringo Starr which led me to check him out. Yeah, I like his looks and the last photos are of him in his eighties. Absolutely amazing. Sexiest Beatle, for sure. He had style, he had grace, Ringo gave very good face.
I enjoyed the rabbit hole I partly went down as I checked out Ringo. I didn't look at his Wikipedia entry or any bio.
Windows 11 update seems to have turned on autoplay a next song, which I thought I had turned off. It was nice to hear too. Go on. Wallow in some nostalgia with Mary.
Sadly I also knew this next to play one too, Mouldy Old Dough. The seventies were a crazy musical time.
YouTube's algorithm that curates my music feeds has kept me up very late at night in the past. Grand Designs, England, with its superior being Kevin is about to appear on my tv screen. I might just have an evening of music.

Hi Andrew, I am so glad you like this song by Ringo Starr! And I also love the other one you are sharing! Those were the Days!
ReplyDeleteRingo. Where to begin. Married to former Bond Girl, Barbara Bach. Both had drinking problems and he beat her almost to a pulp per the news reports of the time.
ReplyDeleteNever really could listen to his music after learning that titbit.
Oh wow. I had no idea. Violence against women is somewhat topical in Melbourne this week after the removal of a mural display.
DeleteLoved Mary Hopkins
ReplyDeleteI didn't know (or remember) that Ringo was a talented pianist. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI loved that Mary Hopkin song. Not so much the Beatles.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with a relaxing evening with music. :) I hope you're enjoying your solo outing.
ReplyDeleteI loved Beatles songs. It's been a long time since I heard that Ringo Starr song and even longer since I heard that Mary Hopkins song :) :) Great music for sure!
ReplyDeleteI like Ringo's song though I had forgotten about it, but didn't listen to Mary Hopkins or the next one.
ReplyDeleteRingo's looks seemed to improve with age. My favourite Beatle was shy George.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind his looks.
DeleteI'm a weird creature regarding music. I don't particularly care for the Beetles they did however write some wonderful melodies and good lyrics, they were always on the radio way back. I really love John Farnham singing 'Help'.
ReplyDeleteI love both songs
ReplyDeleteMary Hopkin had such a pure voice, really musical.
ReplyDeleteI preferred George over the other three.
ReplyDeleteI think that Ringo should have stuck to narrating "Thomas the Tank Engine" and why has he got a pound of sausages stuffed down his trousers in the fourth picture?
ReplyDeleteYour envy is apparent.
DeleteThat third picture isn't Ringo -- it's Stuart Sutcliffe, an early Beatle. Having said that, I always thought Ringo was very cute. He charmed me in "A Hard Day's Night," when he goes "parading" in London with his camera, much like I do today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I'll just delete the photo. I don't know of Stuart Sutcliffe, but he looks rather stylish and interesting.
DeleteI liked Paul best and then Ringo although I liked them all, Saw them perform 3 times.
ReplyDeleteWere you a band groupie Pat?
DeleteI have been doing quite a bit of wallowing lately. Those old tunes will do it to you, won't they. 85 though??? He has kept his looks!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew, just stopping by to let you know that I am thinking of you. I hope you have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI was too late for The Beatles - Ringo will always be narrating Thomas the Tank Engine in my mind!
ReplyDeleteI think he got better looking as he got older.
ReplyDeleteRingo looks good even at 80.
ReplyDeleteGosh I can't believe he is still going, I think him and paul are in their 80s, have a great week.
