Funny., that exact same thought occurred to me a minute ago and I waited to the end to put it here - buy ya beat me to it. I've been listening to him since day one (1964 in the US) it had never occurred to me before. That was his talent as much as anything else..
I was 9 yrs old in '63 when I first heard the Beatles. Ringo made them go, every song sounded like it was going a thousand miles per hour. And Ringo was the most humorous, very witty. Ringo Starr is the Yogi Berra of Rock N Roll.
If the Beatles were truly the spokesmen for their generation, then Ringo has certainly become, over the long haul, the true spokesman for the Beatles. :) On July 7, 2040, Ringo, you'll be 100 years old! Just continue doing what you're doing now and you'll make it with plenty time to spare! Peace and Love Ritchie!
Loved this documentary which highlighted with great clarity the significance of Ringo as a drummer, as a Beatle, as a drummer in the Beatles and as an authentic and kind human being. In 1970 I got my first set of drums and became a drummer because of Ringo. Ringo's energy and initiative and carrying on with his career into his 80's is an inspiration for all.
It took way too long - but finally, Ringo is getting his dues for his unique and creative drumming skills and all he contributed to the excellence of Beatle's music.
Ringo was the perfect drummer for the greatest band in history. They couldn't have had a better drummer to match the variety of music produced by this iconic group. He had the magic touch that added just the right amount to a wide array of masterful musical works.
How could you not love this guy! So glad I lived to see them alive for awhile. Like all things must pass…I am almost 60 and two Beatles are still with us making music.
I love this, thank you. One of my favorite songs of all time is…It Don’t Come Easy, it says it all for me. Ringo and George are both my favorites of the Beatles….When I first heard them, my attention quickly shifted to Ringo and the drums….it was his playing style of those drums which caught my attention, and every song was enhanced by those drums and Ringo’s techniques. This also helped influence me in deciding to play the drums myself and other percussion instruments. During my time with a band playing music for nursing home residents, I played 3 tambourines at one time, including a multiple cymbal which would attach to the top of a cymbal over upon a drum, and each had a different pitch and tonal sound of its own. I was heading for 4 of them when our band split up because of life changing circumstances among the members. I also had a pair of bongos, maracas and other percussion instruments, all because of Ringo and the drums he played. I was even allowed to play drums at a special Native American service with prayers. Ringo is and will always be my mentor and the unique talented drummer and musician he is famous for. Love and peace Ringo, may your love for music and drums continue to inspire others….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🇺🇸🥰
Ringo's the legendary timekeeper. Anything else he does is icing on the cake. All those years with the Beatles; whatever they were doing, clear or unsure, he filled it in. His All-Star bands have been the perfect foil for Ringo, drumming or singing.
Ringo was really the force behind the Beatles. If you compare the recordings of Pete Best against Ringo's contribution, you'll notice a major difference. Ringo played hard which drove the other guys to play hard. He complimented the music without being too busy, sometimes by creating space w/out playing. He was their 'seasoning', while keeping a solid rhythm only where he was needed. By far the best drummer ever for the Beatles. So much in fact I feel they wouldn't have been taken as serious without him. Remember that the record itself has to move you at first, before the song. And the Beatles made some hot records, thanks to Ringo's contribution.
@@corylwillrise lol, listen to both drummers' versions of Love Me Do. Even your ears have to hear A difference, even if it's not the big difference in quality.
The Beatles are legends and it would not have been the same without Ringo. Perfect drummer for that band on all measures. There is a reason just about every famous drummer will list Ringo has one of the greatest and their favorites.
I loved Ringo ❤ One statement that John Lennon said about Ringo really pissed me off…”Ringo wasn’t really a good drummer, but he was a good Beatle” - He was an amazing drummer! Period!
Thank you for your thumbs up 👍 I go way back with the boys. I by no means mean to be morbid, but Ringo with probably be the last remaining Beatle? He really needs to to appreciated and valued as one of the four as remaining! Ringo is low key and always was the most likable and non- controversial (in my opinion). Paul have been my fave though the years…but, has “slipped” with his political motions. Everyone has a wright to there thoughts and choices…but, Ringo has played it absolutely perfect! If you really want peace and tranquility? Don’t start shit! You’re a historical public figure! Weather you like it or not? You have to act like one! Peace and Love ✌️❤️
He did not write With A Little Help From My Friends. I'm only pointing out this fact as the wording used in the video is somewhat confusing and may lead some to believe that he wrote that song.
@@scottbrower9052 They said at the beginnning of the film that he'd written it. It is a factual error in a documentary after all, not a work of fiction. So why not correct it? Also, if they made such an obvious error about something that I (and many others, of course) know about, why would I trust them with the information that is new to me? So fucking that.
❤🥁 Ringo is amazing because he was the first Rock n Roll Drummer to play in the forefront of the material they created. He was not a side man. He was the first Drummer to do so many different creative things on a drum kit. Things all Drummer's are still using all the time, and half of them probably don't realize that Ringo Starr invented a lot of what we all play. His gorgeous Wife Barbara Bach, a one time James Bond girl keeps him young. I know she could do that for me. ❤🥁 KEEP ON TRAPPIN RINGO! YOU'RE THE BEST. PEACE & LOVE
Ringo is so brilliant like John, Paul and George!!!It is the Beatles Sound ❤️ Ringo 's concert in Lima Perú in 2015 was fantastic unforgettable!!! Bravo Beatles forever ♥️👏♥️👏!!
1, he was the most musical of drummers. 2, his drum parts are not easy to figure out let alone play--I can speak to that as drummer. 3, he was the "average guy" in the most important musical act ever, drawing in an ever larger audience. 4, he was a peacemaker in a band filled with huge egos that might have come apart without him. And 5, when he says "peace and love," his life story proves he really means what he says. This is a fine documentary--thanks for producing it.
He was a spectacular drummer on the early songs that made them famous. All the early hits are Ringo-driven. He practically wrote the book on Rock n Roll stage 2. He was not like Rock N Roll 1 from the 50s, though it formed a basis that he ran with. And he literally RAN with the Beatles. Those early songs are beyond infectious, because of his drumming and John and Paul's vocal blend. The dude swang like a monkey through the jungle.
My very favorite Beatle.... " Ringo Star "..., and the band of 3 other greatest musicians in history . Ringo anchored the band with his drummings... heart... and Soul
Totally agree and while not "acrobatic" in the sense you mean, just consider Ringo's performance on "Rain" Just a stunning example of superb timing in making that ground breaking song !
Ringo is a songwriter’s dream drummer. He plays the perfect beat and feel for a “song”, and doesn’t clutter it up with senseless fills. His fills are orchestral and only heighten the song. He’s perfect. The GOAT.
Ringo's such a sweet guy, and I love his drumming (besides Beatles and solo work) on Lennon's first solo album too, Fantastic! (John Lennon And The Plastic Ono Band) And I love the fact that he and Barbara are together since the 70's💘☮!!!
Ringo Star is one of the greatest human beings to grace planet Earth. I love him for who he is. I would like to see Ringo as an ambassador to the United Nations. Ringo's kindness is an example of how we all should live our lives.
Thank you, Ringo... As a long time Guitarist, I saw you, like other have, on Ed's Show in 1964. It helped me plan my course in Music. Now, at 69, and in a Band with others who have grown as Musicians, it's always refreshing to me to see what other Bands listened to and played, and to follow their tree back to where it all began for them. Peace and Love... Peace and Love.
Glad people are starting to really recognize Ringo. When they were a group it was obligatory to have a favorite Beatle and I chose Ringo! All four were geniuses in their own way and when they were together - magic.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but Ringo did not write With a little help from my friends, although Ringo wrote and co-wrote several Beatle songs, including Octopus's Garden, and Don't pass me by with co-writing credits with several others Flying, Dig it, Maggie May, Christmas time is here again, Free as a bird, 12-Bar Original and Los Paranoias, with many others either co-written, or wrote. Thank you Crackle Celebrity Insider, for doing a great video with the fabulous Ringo!
17:56 I'd never thought of it, but songs aimed at the fans is just what they did. Also, Ringo, more importantly than a mind-blowing technical drummer, was one of the very best accompanists, and the Beatles were better for it.
@@Alexs.2599nothing to do with Pete, the tuff nut who hit George wasn’t a Beatles fan at all . If anything George probably smiled at the guy’s girlfriend.
@@thekitowl Nope that's not true. You can look it up. George got punched in the eye for defending Ringo by a fan of Pete's. His dismissal was very controversial at the time. In fact Brian Epstein's Ford Zephyr was keyed because he fired Pete. Mark Lewisohn who is THE Beatles historian expert confirms it. It wasn't over a girl. Pete Best was actually the most popular Beatle among girl fans especially.
@@Alexs.2599 it’s from Mark that I got the information that Deny Flynn ( who headbutted George ) wasn’t a Fan but a known notorious hard case who liked to flex his muscles. Mark has collected his information from various fans who were present , obviously there are some variations in the telling but the majority say it was nothing to do with Pete.
A leftie on a right-limbed Ludwig. The manager knew what he did back in the day. The Beatles blew other Liverpool acts and far beyond out of the pond back then. And Ringo remains the guy who knows what he can (and will) do❤
I was in kindergarten when the Beatles first song and then Ed Sullivan Show hit America's ears and eyes. The Beatles were as much a visual phenomenon as a sonic pleasure. Going into first grade it was an icebreaker to ask, "Do you like the Beatles? And if so, who is your favorite?"
August, 1963, was when Ringo replaced Pete Best, though he had subbed in with them a few times before them (to each of the frontmen's acclaim). Ringo did not get punched--Pete Best's fans got into it with the Beatles and George Harrison scored the black eye. Ringo: "Yeah, well George wasn't always a guru." As John Lennon put it, "I brought Paul in, he brought George in, and George brought in Ringo." Lots of tenderness between those two and I agree--without Ringo, the band never have gotten off the ground. The Beatles needed an innovative drummer who never missed a beat and they found him in Ringo. p.s. as re. smoking pot with Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney pushed Ringo to try it first...whether he did so willingly is up for debate.
They wouldn't have made it without him. His drumming and personality were essential. He's a wonderful unorthodox drummer - others are technically better, not a soul on earth would say otherwise. But they couldn't have done what he did
Towels on the drums has been around since the beginning of drums. I love Ringo. He made it popular after Hal Blaine. Its been done for quite a while n. Still. Ringo is great 👍
As I’ve heard it, Ringo was given songs appropriate to his limited vocal range for 2 reasons. It completed the ‘four-headed monster’ aspect of the Beatles: they could ALL play & sing, which was almost unheard of, & it gave John, Paul, & George a chance to rest their voices during live shows. By “Revolver” they started writing tunes with Ringo in mind, thus “Yellow Submarine” & “With A Little Help…”. And like George, he improved greatly as the group matured. Ringo is a fantastic stylized drummer; he contributed the perfect signature licks for the Beatles’ songs, & his high hat playing is furious in the early stuff.
Ringo wrote exactly two songs as a Beatle: "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden." Otherwise he sang quite a few songs - either written by Lennon & McCartney or as cover tunes; and his publishing deal did not include "You're Sixteen" and "Photograph" which were both written by other songwriters.
Oh dear , I was wondering about the accuracy of this film but when ( at 10.04) they incorrectly said Ringo got a black eye instead of George after Pete Best was dismissed I knew they hadn't done their homework and switched off!
I'm glad you said that being a left-handed drummer is not as easy as you think it would be I'm right-handed and coming to 20 years and I still now that I'm older I actually have mastered one of their songs on the left hand but I'm extremely sloppy and I'm still working on it because I don't know if any other drummers understand this I'm sure some of you do I'll practice some of his drumming out of respect for the profession because I never learned how to play drums by anybody else I picked up a pair of sticks on my father said one day he came home and handed them to me because he was extremely proud and I still try some with Ringo styles and I'll do it left-handed so I can play right-handed and left-handed I want to master it but it is not easy , he should be number one and a reason why I think you should be the number one drama because he has extreme lengths of discipline on his records I can hear it I'm more of a Keith Moon Ginger Baker, when I'm drumming I like to either have two bass pedals I like to do quite a few rolls in 3 minutes sequences, but I've learned getting older,a lot of people want you to keep a temple for a long period of time some people appreciate it some people get really aggravated because of the in the list of top five drummers.
A friend of mine went to college here in the area I live at West Liberty College for a degree in music. He was keyboardist. He moved to California a couple of years after he graduated realizing the music scene in Eastern WV was pretty much dead aside of really good bar bands with musicians who had day jobs and families and didn't want leave home. He knew nobody out there and he started reading the musicians adds because this was pre internet for common folk in the 80's. He answered an add for a keyboard player to jam with payment. So he called and went to interview. It was Ringo. He was on house arrest from when he got busted for weed. That just goes to show you that time and place are important but also unpredictable. I haven't seen him since he told me that story when he was back home about 25 years ago. He said he had a vert successful music career.
Битлз моя музыка. Но ринго всегда( почему-то) ассоциировал в пожидом возрасте с Луи де Фюнесом...по хорошему. А он к моей радости разрушил мои " предположения". Красава!
7:54 - That's not Pete Best. That's Johnny Hutchinson of The Big Three who filled in a few times in the days before Ringo. 9:52 - George got the black eye, not Ringo.
Ringo didn't write, "with a little help from my friends" and George Martin didn't know Ringo was coming to the session so he stuck with the hired session player. It wasn't because of lack of confidence in Ringo. George Martin hadn't met Ringo or heard him play.
Actually thats incorrect, Ringo played on the session two weeks before & Ringo has mentioned he went mad on the kit, ending up hitting the drums with maracas . He says they thought I’d gone mad hence Andy white was booked ( not by George Martin btw )
My Ringo.. I took up drums 44 years ago, still play, and Ringo remains my number one mentor. Peace and love Ringo, peace and love.
What a fantastic guy, his whole life nothing but smiles for everyone. Proud of him.
One of the greatest "song" drummers of all time. No mind-boggling acrobatic drum solos; just give what the song needs. That's Ringo!
Exactly... what ever moved his sticks !
THE GREATEST EVER....STILL IS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂💥🔥🇬🇬🇬🇧💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏😱😱🥳🥳🎵🎵🐐

Yeah, you can listen to a Beatles song just for the drums, and that’s amazing too!

Ringo DID drum on "Why Don't We Do It In the Road".
Just an FYI. It was George that got the "shiner", at Ringo's first Cavern gig. Well publicised story.
It Don't Come Easy was released as a single in 1971. The only album it was released on was Ringo Starr's Greatest Hits in 1974.

I appreciate Sid Griffin's insights on Ringo & his music. Sid's a fantastic musician/singer/songwriter in his own right with the Long Ryders.
Po nerlo en español
I appreciate Ringo for his steady hand and Sense of humor also he had a healthy Ego ( if there is such a thing as a healthy Ego.
I like the way Lewisohn put it "Ringo was the only Beatle to be invited (into the group)"
Очень классно сказано: Единственный.... Но главный!!! Без него, боююсь, Битлз- был бы другой... А, может, Битлз- был бы и не Битлз?????
August, 1963, was when Ringo replaced Pete Best, though he had subbed in with them a few times before them (to each of the frontmen's acclaim). Ringo did not get punched--Pete Best's fans got into it with the Beatles and George Harrison scored the black eye.
Ringo: "Yeah, well George wasn't always a guru." As John Lennon put it, "I brought Paul in, he brought George in, and George brought in Ringo."
Lots of tenderness between those two and I agree--without Ringo, the band never have gotten off the ground. The Beatles needed an innovative drummer who never missed a beat and they found him in Ringo.
p.s. as re. smoking pot with Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney pushed Ringo to try it first...whether he did so willingly is up for debate.
Согласен-- Битлз: Это именно 1) Джон. 2) Пол. 3) Джордж. И, главное: 4) Это Ринго наш!!! Наш ( главный рычаг 👍👍👍👍😂) - и никак иначе...
Just the coolest guy for over 60 years. Only problem: almost no solos in Beatles records. Peace and love, everybody.
Ringo, we love you & we thank you, forever.
They wouldn't have made it without him. His drumming and personality were essential. He's a wonderful unorthodox drummer - others are technically better, not a soul on earth would say otherwise. But they couldn't have done what he did
Rock steady tempos with a relaxed, easy and unique feel. He did exactly what was necessary wonderfully well.
Towels on the drums has been around since the beginning of drums. I love Ringo. He made it popular after Hal Blaine. Its been done for quite a while n. Still. Ringo is great 👍
As I’ve heard it, Ringo was given songs appropriate to his limited vocal range for 2 reasons. It completed the ‘four-headed monster’ aspect of the Beatles: they could ALL play & sing, which was almost unheard of, & it gave John, Paul, & George a chance to rest their voices during live shows. By “Revolver” they started writing tunes with Ringo in mind, thus “Yellow Submarine” & “With A Little Help…”. And like George, he improved greatly as the group matured. Ringo is a fantastic stylized drummer; he contributed the perfect signature licks for the Beatles’ songs, & his high hat playing is furious in the early stuff.
He didn't write "With A Little Help From My Friends", that was Lennon and McCartney. Ringo just sang it.
Ringo did the drumming on Why Don't we do it in the Road.
At first it was done in its entirety by Paul, but when time came for overdubs, it was Ringo on the final version.
The beat in Beatles!
Ringo wrote exactly two songs as a Beatle: "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden." Otherwise he sang quite a few songs - either written by Lennon & McCartney or as cover tunes; and his publishing deal did not include "You're Sixteen" and "Photograph" which were both written by other songwriters.
Actually he co-wrote “Photograph“ with George Harrison.
Melhor baterista do mundo, aqui no Brasil os músicos o respeitam muito.
I am only 11 minutes in, but I must say I'm really impressed. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for the nice words and for being an early visitor to our brand new content channe!
He could always count on me as one of his friends ❤
Great film...
Youre a sweetheart Ringo.
Ringo is such a sweetheart of a human.
Oh dear , I was wondering about the accuracy of this film but when ( at 10.04) they incorrectly said Ringo got a black eye instead of George after Pete Best was dismissed I knew they hadn't done their homework and switched off!
Beatles the BEST ever inventors of new music ,sounds.
Great Ringo.
I agree Ringo was the best R&R drummer he's probably still pretty good
Ringo l'ami de tout le monde professionnelle dzns sa matière et avec la joie de vivre
Merci pr ta force communiquer
Peace and love from the world
Nice one! Thank you.
With a Little Help From My Friends is credited to Lennon/McCartney and they wrote it together for Ringo to sing on Sgt. Pepper.
I'm glad you said that being a left-handed drummer is not as easy as you think it would be I'm right-handed and coming to 20 years and I still now that I'm older I actually have mastered one of their songs on the left hand but I'm extremely sloppy and I'm still working on it because I don't know if any other drummers understand this I'm sure some of you do I'll practice some of his drumming out of respect for the profession because I never learned how to play drums by anybody else I picked up a pair of sticks on my father said one day he came home and handed them to me because he was extremely proud and I still try some with Ringo styles and I'll do it left-handed so I can play right-handed and left-handed I want to master it but it is not easy , he should be number one and a reason why I think you should be the number one drama because he has extreme lengths of discipline on his records I can hear it I'm more of a Keith Moon Ginger Baker, when I'm drumming I like to either have two bass pedals I like to do quite a few rolls in 3 minutes sequences, but I've learned getting older,a lot of people want you to keep a temple for a long period of time some people appreciate it some people get really aggravated because of the in the list of top five drummers.
Hoy 61 años que Ringo se convirtió en un Beatle 💕
Great piece 😎 I think it's going to get a lot of views.
Ringo is a true knight
Paul truly is.
The concert for George with Ringo singing Photograph was iconic
A friend of mine went to college here in the area I live at West Liberty College for a degree in music. He was keyboardist. He moved to California a couple of years after he graduated realizing the music scene in Eastern WV was pretty much dead aside of really good bar bands with musicians who had day jobs and families and didn't want leave home. He knew nobody out there and he started reading the musicians adds because this was pre internet for common folk in the 80's. He answered an add for a keyboard player to jam with payment. So he called and went to interview. It was Ringo. He was on house arrest from when he got busted for weed. That just goes to show you that time and place are important but also unpredictable. I haven't seen him since he told me that story when he was back home about 25 years ago. He said he had a vert successful music career.
Битлз моя музыка. Но ринго всегда( почему-то) ассоциировал в пожидом возрасте с Луи де Фюнесом...по хорошему. А он к моей радости разрушил мои " предположения". Красава!
Почему-то? Наверно потому что у обоих солидный носище :)
Prezado Ringo 🌟 que DEUS lhe proteja sempre❤
Ringo is truly the fourth Beatle.
And all this time I thought it was Stu :)
Melhor baterista de todos os tempos, vida linga, muitos shows.
Peace and Love; best of people.
Ringo Great music 🎵 maker
7:54 - That's not Pete Best. That's Johnny Hutchinson of The Big Three who filled in a few times in the days before Ringo.
9:52 - George got the black eye, not Ringo.
Ringo didn't write, "with a little help from my friends" and George Martin didn't know Ringo was coming to the session so he stuck with the hired session player. It wasn't because of lack of confidence in Ringo. George Martin hadn't met Ringo or heard him play.
Actually thats incorrect, Ringo played on the session two weeks before & Ringo has mentioned he went mad on the kit, ending up hitting the drums with maracas . He says they thought I’d gone mad hence Andy white was booked ( not by George Martin btw )
