Biographie de Ringo Starr

Born Richard Starkey Jr. on July 7th 1940, Ringo Starr is best known as the drummer of the record breaking pop act, The Beatles.

Ringo Starr, like his peers in the Beatles embarked on a solo career despite his lack of songwriting abilities. His first and second instalments came in the form of “Sentimental Journey” on March 27th 1970, and “Beaucoups of Blues” released on September 25th 1970. The former reached number reached number 7 in the UK Albums charts, and number 22 in the Billboard 200. The latter unfortunately didn’t achieve similar chart success, however, it was recorded impressively in just two days.

His third album simply entitled “Ringo” released on November 2nd 1973 made it to number 7 in the UK Albums chart and number 2 in the Billboard 200. It was shortly after, certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album featured appearances of all four members of the Beatles. His fourth studio album, “Goodnight Vienna” despite not matching the success of the previous “Ringo” was certified Silver by the BPI and Gold by the RIAA, and peaking in the top twenty of eight countries.

Starr continued to release solo albums over the years including “Ring’s Rotogravure”, and “Ringo the 4th”. Unfortunately when Starr released “Old Wave” on June 16th 1983, the album didn’t achieve any chart success. He had a hiatus for the next decade, before releasing “Time Takes Time” on May 22nd 1992, which at best reached number 19 in Austria, however, Ringo Starr by this point had formed his All-Starr band, which he still tours with to this day.

On January 14th 2008, Starr released “Liverpool 8” which still managed to make the charts of six countries. He has also released a total of twelve live albums with his All-Starr band.

Avis

Ringo Starr blew the house down with his All-Starr Band on Friday, June 27th, 2014 at DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan. At exactly 7:30 p.m., Ringo Starr burst joyfully onto the stage with Rockabilly Maestro Carl Perkins' famous song, "Matchbox", although Ringo Starr certainly did not have a long way to go! Following this Rockabilly Classic, Ringo burst effortlessly into his first solo hit, "It Don't Come Easy". Yet, throughout the entire 2 and half hour show, Ringo Starr kept the memories of his days with John, Paul and George constantly in mind! Ringo continued with his solo song "Wings".

He then made way for members of his All-Starr Band to "do their thing" with the following songs:
(1.) Todd Rundgren frolicked left and right on stage, with "I Saw the Light" and "Bang the Drum All Day".

(2.) Greg Rolie belted out the Santana hits "Evil Ways", "Black Magic Woman" "Gypsy Queen" and the Tito Puente cover "Oye como va".
(3.) Steve Lukather and Warren Ham broke-it-lose with the songs, "Rosanna" and "Africa". Steve Lukather also delivered a delectable solo in "Hold the Line".
(4.) Richard Page also "knocked the ball out of the park" with the Mr. Mister classic "Kyrie". He also drew Crowd-pleaser with the song "Broken Wings".

But, the undeniable Star of the show was the man "Ringo Starr", himself!

With almost no effort, except for one false-start on the song "Don't Pass Me By", from The Beatles "White Album", Ringo Starr gave his audience more than their money's worth with the songs, "Honey Don't" (another Carl Perkins Rockabilly Classic), "Yellow Submarine", during which he made reference to Led Zepellin, by warning that, "If you don't know this number, then you have come to the wrong venue!", his solo song "Anthem", "I Wanna Be Your Man" (before which he asked if there were any ladies in the audience?), "Photograph" (which he had co-written with George Harrison), "Act Naturally", which was written by Buck Owens, (about which Ringo said that always tries to Act Naturally), "With a Little Help from My Friends" and the John Lennon Anti-Vietnam Anthem "Give Peace a Chance", for which Ringo was joined once more my all the members of his 2014 All-Starr Band! Ringo finished off this truly memorable concert by saying "thank you very much! You have been a great audience! Always remember, "PEACE AND LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY!" "Good Night Everybody!" The audience was eager to catch a glimpse one more time of there "Starr", but this was not meant to be! The lights went up at 10:00 p.m. and Ringo Starr had made history yet again at DTE Energy Music Theater! By Amit Kshirsagar Ann Arbor, Michigan
