Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody told you it was a happy tale, if somebody said I was just your average guy, not a care in the world... somebody lied. But let me assure you, this, like any other story worth telling, is all about a Band. [Cut to The Beatles ] That Band, The Band next door. The Beatles. The Band I loved since before I even liked Bands.
@@wanderer1955 oh it was just a joke, I won't do it for real buddy.It was an other way to say that a good punch line like this deserve it's own T-shirt. I'm not a punch line stealer mate. ;) Nice work by the way!
@@philippepires8411 Ta v much. But after watching the clip I realised it wasn't my saying after all. Somebody had the same idea as me by coincidence. I had come up with the same saying ( Pete might be the Best but Ringo is a Star(r)) only i left it as s comment on another clip somewhere else on RUclips.
Pete Best’s style and personality DID NOT fit in with John, Paul and George’s. The 4 of them had the most AMAZING CHEMISTRY. They were my once in a lifetime phenomenon.
I can't stand Ringo. Go watch some videos of Ringo after the Beatles. 90% of the time there is a second drummer playing along side. I've never seen a drummer so inept. If he was so great, why doesn't he have any great independent performances post Beatles? His greatness comes from being IN a band that was great. But that doesn't mean his drumming was a major factor. PS. I am a drummer and will tell you that the only star more mediocre on his instrument than Ringo, is Tom Petty.
Yep. Ringo was perhaps the most popular Beatle back in the day. It was between him and Paul. Now, people kind of dismiss him as someone who just rode the coattails of John and Paul.
@@johncase3998 I was referring to his personality ..but Com'on give him some credit he drummed perfect for them on so many songs from "Tomorrow never knows " to " Rain" to "I want you (she so heavy)" through out the "white album"..😊
Ringo was also the first Beatle to leave the group. During the recording of the White Album in 1968, he felt “Unloved” and after a few Hostile recording sessions, he left to go on vacation. During this time, Paul had to jump in and play the drums, and in the song “Back in the U.S.S.R, that’s actually Paul playing the drums. After 2 week, Ringo got a Telegram basically saying that the 3 members missed him and wanted him to come home, which he did. He returned to see that George put flowers all over his Drum set, and the message saying welcome back. Another fun fact. Whilst on vacation, Ringo wrote Octopus Garden.
Bullshit! That wasn't passive aggressive. He did not hide or deny his feelings. He came right out and said what he wanted to say and peace be damned to anyone who didn't agree. You have to respect the guy for NOT beating around the bush and for saying all that to the world. Passive aggressive? You don't know what the term means..
Yeah, I can imagine him not being happy with how his "fans" were abusing his signature, but I think he also wanted them to know that even though he's not replying to fan mail anymore, he still loves and cares about the fans who aren't trying to take advantage of him. He just got caught up a little with being upset about the few that tried to make a quick buck off his name, but he was also trying not to make it seem like he was refusing to sign stuff because he didn't care about his fans. He had his reasons, and they were good ones, and thankfully Ringo is still a nice enough bloke to make time to come out and meet and talk with the people who like him, so he's still a cool dude.
having been in bands,and from age11 we learnt a good drummer was -one that shut up while we tune up (in the 70"s there was no electric tunners),and didant over play when its not needed,and mostly one that could play abit quieter - RINGO had them scores :-)
@@jeffreylorien6687 robert plant said without the Beatles, there would be no zeppelin-ringo can play any type of rock-he did it-just listen to revolver
The fact that he recieved fan mail for this long and signed stuff for fans willingly honestly says a lot. He could've easily chosen not to do that and it would've been fine. It's also fun, 'cause it means that the joke from the Simpsons about Marge sending him fan mail and him responding years later would've been accurate at the time.
In the early 90's I was at a "recovery meeting" of about 30 people. Ringo and his wife, Barbara Bach were there. I was truly starstruck. Yet I still managed to raise my hand and share..simply so Ringo could hear me. Exciting moment I'm supposed to keep secret, but occasionally have to share. I love Ringo, and I'm so grateful to have spent an hour with him 😊
HeyHeyMadibellehere ... Name one hit or even good song that Ringo has wrote....there isn't any....As for George he is a brilliant accomplished songwriter... I love them both but don't compare apples with oranges...
@@sandraworden6862 Photograph is a great song by Ringo. Now i would recommend deleting your pointless comment before I keep adding to that list to prove you even more wrong.
I've had a few truly warm and loving dogs. All were equal drummers to Ringo. The quality of your craft isn't measured by the depth and warmth of your character.
@Morgan Freeman Well that's interesting since I'm 50 and have been playing a huge 11 piece Drum kit rivaling that of Neil Peart for 35+ years, playing in many bands and have even opened for a few fairly famous bands. So other than the folks who wanna claim his greatness is his simplicity....His actually drumming isn't great.
HeyHeyMadibellehere ....Photograph?...I've never even bloody heard of it...As for my pointless comment, it has obviously got your knickers in a twist and hit a chord with some others, and now as for your threat of overwhelming me with list of amazing songs written by Ringo....bring it on....
I was working at a Denny's in South Lake Tahoe, back in 1979....when came into the restaurant during the 3rd week of December. One of our waitresses swore she had spotted him the previous day, while picking her husband up at the airport. I don't think any of us believed her.....but then in walks Ringo. He was with a couple of women & 2 or 3 little kids. It was mid-afternoon, so there weren't too many other customers in there. We seated them in the back, where they sort of had the area to themselves. I was just a busboy, but recall running over to the table a few times to refill their water glasses or remove empty dishes. He had our fish & chips. I think the waitresses got most of the plates, but I made off with his fork....LOL. The best part of the story was....when they went to leave, he realized he had locked the keys inside his rented Chevy Blazer. One of the cooks & I were out there in the snow-covered parking lot, helping him break into the vehicle, with a wire hanger.
Ringo provided exactly what the group needed to breakout above the normal bands. His sense of humor diffused tension when it was really needed, helping keep the band together longer, and his drumming skills and contributions added to/improved the groups songs.
I think you could have mentioned how Ringo's stage name was a holdover from his days with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes - and that he used to do a little comedy set on some nights with that band, where he told jokes about playing drums and demonstrated little bits and pieces on his kit. Also that he had been tormented as a child by bullies over his real name of Richard Starkey, and named his son Zach in an attempt to give him a bully-proof name.
Ringo and the All Starrs came to Dallas area in November 2017. My sister, nephew and I went to the show. We weren't up close and personal but it was a great show. Driving home, my sister and I are talking about how a guy his age pulls that off when he doesn't need the money? My sister and I are in our mid to late 50's. The nephew is 23 but he nailed it when he said, "Ringo is having a great time. That's how he does it." He got that one right.
I wore a Ringo tank top from his first All Starr tour on his 5th tour. He noticed it..walked over and told me "you've got a nice shirt there"..I about fell over having a Beatle talk to me. Gotta love Ringo!!!!
I'm so glad they talked him into a solo on The End. I love that bit, and can't help but crank the volume when that song comes up. Also, he narrated the story for The Point, by Harry Nilsson in 1971.
Ringo Fact, that should have been mentioned. Ringo did the short drum solo on "The End" only because Paul McCartney (who is a decent drummer himself) said " if you won't do it, then I will". I'm glad Ringo did the solo. Short or not, it may be the best and most famous drum solo ever. I absolute lone it.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I have been a fan for at least 50 years. Even I did not know how much Ringo had been through with far as illness. He sure has aged well. As for my take on the fan mail, If I saw Ringo in a restaurant or anywhere else, I personally would just wave at him first. LOL. Yes, I would be very disappointed that I did not get an autograph. However, I would not hate the man. He has a life too. He can't just stop what he is doing and sign everything for everyone. Think about it. Peace and love Ringo.
It was George that suggested Ringo Starr. It was George who invited Eric Clapton. It was George who brought Billy Preston during the Let it be sessions, and it was George again who brought Jeff Lynne to produce to finish two of John's unfinished recordings. Call George the Recruiting Beatle!
Though not a rock god like Clapton, Billy Preston was a fine keyboardist who poured love and energy into his Beatles stints and deserves mention in any discography.
The Beatles are Phenoms because Ringo was keeping that back beat better than any he complimented the Beatles ever changing progress with very unique fills and beats his drumming is just cool!
After watching Let It Be, I saw what a ROCK Ringo was in the Beatles. The first one there, the last one to leave, steady emotionally for the other members and solid behind the kit so the songs could be developed. His style of minimalistic drumming gave way to the over all performance that I personally don't feel would have allowed those songs to breath if your typical "Animal" style drummer would have been behind the kit.
FAB. I'M ON THE RINGO TRAIN EARLY. JUST BOUGHT THE NEW ALBUM. BUT I THINK HE'S GETTING OLD, BECAUSE HE CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME. LOL. GENUINELY LOVE YOU RINGO AND I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE NEW ALBUM. AND I LOVE IT. PEACE AND LOVE
The main fact about him is that he was in the right place at the right time. A few years ago he announced to the world that “he would no longer be signing autographs “. Sad that he’s one of only two left. The two best ones are gone. You can have Ringo.
Ringo is so underrated, not only as a drummer but also as a person. He is such an inspiration. I remember when he was voted the fifth best drummer in the world some years ago, and I couldn't believe he wasn't voted the best. I mean, this man was the drummer of The Beatles. He is simply a beautiful soul. I love him I love him I love him.
Was waiting on fact number 8. That, along with simply who he is, makes him my favorite Beatle. He was a very special part of my childhood, despite me being an American.
Ringo was my drum teacher back in the very early 70's when I wagged school & set my drum kit up & played along with the beatle records. Great drummer and still is.
I love how cool and reserved he was. It's interesting that he despised solos, but it seems to make perfect sense considering he always had a healthy, non-impulsive contribution to the Beatles. He knows when to play, just how much and it all comes together beautifully. I find it remarkable because he was comparatively not as appreciated as he should have been, especially when compared to the John, Paul and George.
Time is slowly telling just how good a drummer Ringo was(and is still) ,that being said,he is certainly the most widely known drummer on the planet and his contributions to rock music and "pop"culture cannot be understated
Can I just say, I'm so glad The HollyHobs started this channel. I love the little facts and tid bits I've either never learned, or forgot about! And the videos are presented so well! Thanks to him and Leah! Great work, you two! (And anyone else working on the videos.) Ringo's always been my favorite. Say what you want about him, he does well to those who matter: the people he loves (especially after cleaning himself up.) Celebrities are human beings with lives of their own, and nothing is owed to anyone. Enjoy what's given, don't idolize humans too much, and you won't be let down...we're all people, and no one's perfect. Also, I LOVED him (and Carlin) as Mr. Conductor XD Totally grew up crushing on him and Levar Burton XD
"Pease and Love"--good on ya, Ringo. Thank you for serving every song uniquely, with heart. And being honest to your fans--no fan mail. Righteous move, hombre. I love ya, man. This is my fan mail to you.
The few times I spent around Ringo, he always squeezed my bicept and never once did I even consider asking him for an autograph or sign anything. This was mid to late 70's, Laurel Canyon days, before the fire. My dad worked with the Beatles at both Capital and Apple and he remains friends with him to this day...
Perhaps my favorite Ringo moment in cinema, (even though it wasn't him) was in the opening of Yellow Submarine, when he's walking down the streets of the English working class city with nothing to do, and he mutters, "Nothing ever happens to me..." and then all of a sudden there's this yellow submarine following him around, and the periscope tracking him, and then the adventure begins!
I've heard that the lyrics to "With a little help from my friends" began with a line that sort of went "What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you throw (something like vegetables--I can't remember) at me?" but he wouldn't sing those lyrics, which is understandable. I'm glad that they changed it to "would you stand up and walk out on me?"
I've come to regard Ringo Starr as my favorite of the four Beatles. He's the most real, the most "down to earth", and the most accessible... He's never let being the drummer in the greatest band ever go to his head... he seems to honestly feel he was blessed with the role and has always been a very genuine human being, and I think he has a good and giving heart, and a genuine love of life... and -- he seems immortal... because he's almost 80 and looks much like he did 20 or 30 birthdays ago... He's a great guy and The Beatles made a great and fortuitous move in putting him and his drum kit in their band.... he is the heartbeat of their music, and although he neither composed nor sang that much... he was an essential part of what The Beatles were... and he always will be... I am so glad that he and Paul are still with us and still making music as only they can...
I have a few med problems myself so I can feel for him, thanks to Ringo for the memories and not giving up on yourself we need our heroes even if they don't want to be heroes! God bless
to be able to not miss a single beat even a few times(which was common back then around when they started) proves that ringo is atleast one of historys and the worlds top 5 drummer, and thats atleast, also you forgot the fact that... he from the future
Another couple of interesting things, Ringo’s hair was greying even before the Beatles in his late teens. Also a fact I personally know, is he wasn’t the first person too by asked too do the voices for Thomas the tank engine. It was actually a good friend of mine, called Christopher Hughes who had won the on BBC’s Mastermind back in 1983. He just didn’t have any interest in doing a kids show. I did manage to get, Ringo’s autograph in 2007, just weeks before he stopped signing.
The Beatles 🐞 🐞 🐞 + 🐞 were complete when Ringo was invited by George and joined the band...Fabulous 🐞 I'm a big fan of his beautiful drumming...like a clock!! In "Tomorrow never knows/ Rain/ the entire Abby Road/white Album, Sgt.Peppers"!! ....just cooking! And let's not forget his playing in George's "All things must pass" album, his entrance in the long version of "All things must pass".💚💛💜💚
I play a number of instruments (to one degree or another skill level), including drums. I would often sit in with the "insta-bands" that would form at various open mikes/jam sessions I attended. I would always tell the leader of said bands, "Don't pass me any solos." I never wanted to be the Neil Peart sort (look at me, look at me!), I wanted to just play what the song needed. like Ringo. not to throw any shade on John or Paul, but Ringo has always been my favorite Beatle, with George coming in a close second. George is, after all, sort of a patron saint amongst us ukulele phreaks.
Mike O’Donnell was Ringo’s studio manager in the 80’s and first learned about Thomas the Tank Engine through him. If it weren’t for Ringo’s contribution to the show, we wouldn’t have a bunch of awesome music in the first 7 seasons.
Ah Ringo, his doe eyes saying "mother me".....met him 1963 fan club get together Wimbledon palais , anyone else there? Got his autograph , then lost it in a house move later on....no chance of a replacement, EVER !! Great memories though.
John Lennon once said that Ringo would have be famous even if there never was such thing as The Beatles. He said that he just had that kind of personality. Probably true.
Why don't you make a video with a list of 'Beatles songs' after 1970? You could tell about 'when we was fab', free as a bird, real love but also now and then (the unfinished one) and all for love (the song credited to mccartney/Harrison). Great videos BTW. Keep up the good work!

I swear you always post at the most perfect time 😂
After watching Let It Be, I saw what a ROCK Ringo was in the Beatles. The first one there, the last one to leave, steady emotionally for the other members and solid behind the kit so the songs could be developed. His style of minimalistic drumming gave way to the over all performance that I personally don't feel would have allowed those songs to breath if your typical "Animal" style drummer would have been behind the kit.
The fact that he dosent give signatures anymore just makes that scap guitar even more valueble.
I am surprised you did not have as an interesting fact that his name is actually Richard Parkin Starkey .
I fist learned his real name was Richard Starkey when I saw the song credit for ‘Don’t Pass Me By’ on ‘The White Album.’
And Zak is "Parkinson".
@@danielbouju1688 and lee is Parkin 🤪
The 4 of them together were amazing an unexplainable energy to carry the message of love to the world
FAB. I'M ON THE RINGO TRAIN EARLY. JUST BOUGHT THE NEW ALBUM. BUT I THINK HE'S GETTING OLD, BECAUSE HE CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME. LOL. GENUINELY LOVE YOU RINGO AND I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE NEW ALBUM. AND I LOVE IT. PEACE AND LOVE
The main fact about him is that he was in the right place at the right time. A few years ago he announced to the world that “he would no longer be signing autographs “. Sad that he’s one of only two left. The two best ones are gone. You can have Ringo.
Four legends. Four giants. The individual parts forming the greatest sum ever -- the Beatles. The Fabs.
I met Ringo at an - can I say it? - A.A. meeting in West Hollywood in1990. Nice chap.
See my post. I saw him (but didn't meet him) at a meeting in Santa Monica around '91. I shared just so he could hear my voice ☺️
Ringo is so underrated, not only as a drummer but also as a person. He is such an inspiration.
I remember when he was voted the fifth best drummer in the world some years ago, and I couldn't believe he wasn't voted the best. I mean, this man was the drummer of The Beatles.
He is simply a beautiful soul. I love him I love him I love him.
Was waiting on fact number 8. That, along with simply who he is, makes him my favorite Beatle. He was a very special part of my childhood, despite me being an American.
Ringo was my drum teacher back in the very early 70's when I wagged school & set my drum kit up & played along with the beatle records. Great drummer and still is.
*"I am warning you with peace and love"*
Thank you. You actually gave a few facts that this lifelong Beatles’ fan didn’t know. 😘
I love how cool and reserved he was. It's interesting that he despised solos, but it seems to make perfect sense considering he always had a healthy, non-impulsive contribution to the Beatles. He knows when to play, just how much and it all comes together beautifully. I find it remarkable because he was comparatively not as appreciated as he should have been, especially when compared to the John, Paul and George.
Now I feel even more special. Being that Ringo is a germaphobe. He slapped my hand at the end of his concert back in 1989 !
I have always said that Ringo was the greatest pop drummer ever.
John Lennon Quote: "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles." 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆
@@deckgun31 He didn’t really say that. Stop believing in that fake meme.
I think Ringo sings pretty good, better than most people I know. He is the most underrated beatle
Time is slowly telling just how good a drummer Ringo was(and is still) ,that being said,he is certainly the most widely known drummer on the planet and his contributions to rock music and "pop"culture cannot be understated
Can I just say, I'm so glad The HollyHobs started this channel. I love the little facts and tid bits I've either never learned, or forgot about! And the videos are presented so well! Thanks to him and Leah! Great work, you two! (And anyone else working on the videos.)
Ringo's always been my favorite. Say what you want about him, he does well to those who matter: the people he loves (especially after cleaning himself up.)
Celebrities are human beings with lives of their own, and nothing is owed to anyone. Enjoy what's given, don't idolize humans too much, and you won't be let down...we're all people, and no one's perfect.
Also, I LOVED him (and Carlin) as Mr. Conductor XD Totally grew up crushing on him and Levar Burton XD
This was awesome! I loved Ringo growing up in the 1960s!
"Pease and Love"--good on ya, Ringo. Thank you for serving every song uniquely, with heart. And being honest to your fans--no fan mail. Righteous move, hombre. I love ya, man. This is my fan mail to you.
The few times I spent around Ringo, he always squeezed my bicept and never once did I even consider asking him for an autograph or sign anything. This was mid to late 70's, Laurel Canyon days, before the fire. My dad worked with the Beatles at both Capital and Apple and he remains friends with him to this day...
Perhaps my favorite Ringo moment in cinema, (even though it wasn't him) was in the opening of Yellow Submarine, when he's walking down the streets of the English working class city with nothing to do, and he mutters, "Nothing ever happens to me..." and then all of a sudden there's this yellow submarine following him around, and the periscope tracking him, and then the adventure begins!
I've heard that the lyrics to "With a little help from my friends" began with a line that sort of went "What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you throw (something like vegetables--I can't remember) at me?" but he wouldn't sing those lyrics, which is understandable. I'm glad that they changed it to "would you stand up and walk out on me?"
I've come to regard Ringo Starr as my favorite of the four Beatles. He's the most real, the most "down to earth", and the most accessible... He's never let being the drummer in the greatest band ever go to his head... he seems to honestly feel he was blessed with the role and has always been a very genuine human being, and I think he has a good and giving heart, and a genuine love of life... and -- he seems immortal... because he's almost 80 and looks much like he did 20 or 30 birthdays ago...
He's a great guy and The Beatles made a great and fortuitous move in putting him and his drum kit in their band.... he is the heartbeat of their music, and although he neither composed nor sang that much... he was an essential part of what The Beatles were... and he always will be... I am so glad that he and Paul are still with us and still making music as only they can...
Such a lovely guy he insists on knocking elbows rather than have to touch anyones hand, lovely
He was never anything to look at, that's for sure.
I have a few med problems myself so I can feel for him, thanks to Ringo for the memories and not giving up on yourself we need our heroes even if they don't want to be heroes! God bless
Thanks for the top 10s, very cool
to be able to not miss a single beat even a few times(which was common back then around when they started) proves that ringo is atleast one of historys and the worlds top 5 drummer, and thats atleast, also you forgot the fact that... he from the future
Definition of being in the right place at the right time = Ringo Starr
That being said he seems a good guy.
Another couple of interesting things, Ringo’s hair was greying even before the Beatles in his late teens. Also a fact I personally know, is he wasn’t the first person too by asked too do the voices for Thomas the tank engine. It was actually a good friend of mine, called Christopher Hughes who had won the on BBC’s Mastermind back in 1983. He just didn’t have any interest in doing a kids show. I did manage to get, Ringo’s autograph in 2007, just weeks before he stopped signing.
He made me feel at peace with my big nose.
I am SOOOO FUCKING THANKFUL FOR THAT DRUMSOLO IN «The End»!!!
I like Ringo. He seems like a regular guy and comes across as very likable. Good person.
Ringo is a fuckin survivor !!!
Ringo Starr it looks better today than he did 50 years ago. He is one amazing guy.
Thank you mate excellent comontery sir nice to know missed the fab 4 God Bless you Ringo Thx luv
* Hates drum solo *
Friends with Keith Moon
And Ringo Starr? The moon & the stars. Outer space.
Keith Moon didn't really do drum solos either per sè, even though his drumming style was a little exuberant he wasn't one who did drum solos 😆
Keith Moon could not do a drum solo to save his life. He refused to do them even when Pete Townsend begged him to.
Keith moon didn't even do solos...he was just playing crazy as fuck and filling all the time
Another fun fact: Ringo urged his son to learn the drums from Keith Moon instead of himself.
Ringo became the first Beatle to become a great-grandfather.

Done. Thanks for the recommendation!
I heard this on the radio. It had to do with Paul's remark about changing drummers. "Pete was a good drummer, but Ringo was a good Beatle."
Now that you finished the fab four, how about a vid on Klaatu, and your thoughts on their second album, Hope
The Beatles 🐞 🐞 🐞 + 🐞 were complete when Ringo was invited by George and joined the band...Fabulous 🐞 I'm a big fan of his beautiful drumming...like a clock!! In "Tomorrow never knows/ Rain/ the entire Abby Road/white Album, Sgt.Peppers"!! ....just cooking! And let's not forget his playing in George's "All things must pass" album, his entrance in the long version of "All things must pass".💚💛💜💚
I love "Photograph" and "The No No Song."
We all definitely love 💜love 💚RINGO! 💓
The band improved a huge amount as soon as Ringo joined
tbh my favorite story is when he was in a coma, poor boy. he braved thru it and also the fan mail. like their song, you "can't buy me love". 😢
Ringo, my favourite Beatle. Funniest one too.
I play a number of instruments (to one degree or another skill level), including drums. I would often sit in with the "insta-bands" that would form at various open mikes/jam sessions I attended. I would always tell the leader of said bands, "Don't pass me any solos." I never wanted to be the Neil Peart sort (look at me, look at me!), I wanted to just play what the song needed. like Ringo. not to throw any shade on John or Paul, but Ringo has always been my favorite Beatle, with George coming in a close second. George is, after all, sort of a patron saint amongst us ukulele phreaks.
I love to enjoy Ringo's music. TY
Mike O’Donnell was Ringo’s studio manager in the 80’s and first learned about Thomas the Tank Engine through him. If it weren’t for Ringo’s contribution to the show, we wouldn’t have a bunch of awesome music in the first 7 seasons.
Seek out the Aspel show Vid on YT, where George is the main guest, but Ringo shows up too, and completely takes over the programme. Hilarious.
He's still a superstar.
Ringo is also a fan of country music
Ah Ringo, his doe eyes saying "mother me".....met him 1963 fan club get together Wimbledon palais , anyone else there? Got his autograph , then lost it in a house move later on....no chance of a replacement, EVER !! Great memories though.
He's so cute and kind, I love him.
1:20 Why I love George. The sassiest and most honest one.
John Lennon once said that Ringo would have be famous even if there never was such thing as The Beatles. He said that he just had that kind of personality. Probably true.
Was the nicest smiling no-ego peep ever.... always liked the man...phenominal drummer - go listen - obviously so....great talent...
Why don't you make a video with a list of 'Beatles songs' after 1970? You could tell about 'when we was fab', free as a bird, real love but also now and then (the unfinished one) and all for love (the song credited to mccartney/Harrison).
Great videos BTW. Keep up the good work!
Good video, thanks!!
