My next door neighbour (now sadly deceased) was Ringo,s boss in charge of apprenticeships at the engineering company. He said that Ringo to was in a terrible state about what to do about his future. Mr Lewis told him to to go to Hamburg with the band and to tell his parents that he would make sure Ringo could rejoin the company and finish the final year of his apprenticeship if the band situation didn't work out. He used to have a framed note from "Ritchie" (Ringo) thanking him for his help and advice.

When Ringo left school he couldn't get his Leaving Certificate signed, since he'd been absent through sickness so much the school denied he'd ever been a pupil there. In 1963, he went back as Guest Of Honour at the school fete and they were charging fans to sit at his school desk. As Ringo said, "They claimed I'd never been there, but somehow they'd found my bloody desk" 😆

Ringo is the reason the Beatles were so loved. John and Paul knew they needed not only a great drummer, but a larger than life personality too. John, Paul & George all had big personalities and needed someone of the same caliber. Anyone who questions how important Ringo was to the Beatles popularity, I say this. Which Beatle was the main character in A Hard Day's Night, Help, Yellow Submarine and even the Animated Cartoons? That's right! Ringo!

@georgegbalzano9239 3 года назад

In the Beatles, John was the MIND, Paul was the HEART, George was the SOUL, and Ringo was the BODY, the backbeat that kept them together. He is a most UNDERRATED Drummer. There is a recent tribute video to him by this talented young German girl called "Sina" , so check it out here on RU-vid. Other drummers like Dave Grohl have called Ringo "Badass", and Phil Collins has also named him as an inspiration. Listen to some of Ringo's fills in songs like "A Day in the Life", and how he played on countless other Beatles' songs like "Ticket to Ride", "Day Tripper", and even as far back as "Not a Second Time", not to mention some of his early SOLO stuff, especially like "It Don't Come Easy", and "Back off Boogaloo". I have only TWO of the Beatles' autographs, one is Ringo, and the other, believe it or not, is PETE BEST. Can't believe Ringo will soon be 81yrs old. Long Live RINGO!!

As hard as the decision may have been, he was the absolute right choice for their sound, and success.

With all of that poor health as a child and massive assaults on his body with alcohol and drugs for decades, Ringo may well end up as the longest lived Beatle. "Ringo wasn't all that great" some wags inform me. RAIN and TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS: mic drop.

Hey, bro. Could you do a video regarding the album "Introducing...The Beatles?" It's one of the most bootlegged albums of all time, but it also had so many different official versions, it's extremely difficult to tell apart the fakes from the real ones. An original real copy is worth lots of money, if you can identify them, that is.

*The first one I ever saw, perhaps a week after the 'Sullivan appearance, was at 'F.W. Woolworths' in Dearborn, Mi. and it was titled "Meet The Beatles" retailing at $1.27!* (That was a good amount for a kid to spend then...lots of kids didn't even have an 'Allowance' ) *I'm 99% certain that album had the 'Capitol Records' logo on it in an upper-corner...and a 'This is a monaural recording' in small letters at the bottom*

@robertvaughn6646 3 года назад

Accurate story, thanks. Another little moment was when Ringo played at the first recording, George Martin still had the session drummer, Andy White, play on Love Me Do. Ringo was devastated thinking he was already fired. If you listen to the record Ringo is heard playing tambourine. There is another recording with Ringo playing drums.

@brianparker663 3 года назад

And it was Ringo's take that was used for the original single release, not White's - so it can't have made much of a difference.

@robertvaughn6646 3 года назад

@@brianparker663 I must disagree. You can find Ringo interviews that confirms he's on tambourine as well as a recent obituary of Andy White saying he played the drums on Love Me Do and the "B" side P.S. I Love You. I have a ver. of Ringo playing drums but there's no tambourine. It may be on the Anthology collection. Never released.

@brianparker663 3 года назад

@@robertvaughn6646 You are absolutely correct - I'm not disagreeing. But that was the album take, not the original single take which was phased out in early 1964 - all subsequent represses used the Andy White recording. It's well documented and it's why the Past Masters collection features the Ringo take as originally issued...with no tambourine. I have an original single (I'm that old) bought in 1962 and it is Ringo and there is no tambourine. Hope that clarifies :-)

The Story of Pete best is so tragic in my opinion. Only one can imagine how hard it is being cut from the best band in the world, not to mention the Beatles never paid him back, and he spent the most part of the 60’s working at minimum wage jobs.

Never paid him back for what? He did get some notoriety and some albums in the 60s, and he got some Beatles money in the 90s when some recordings with him were used in the Anthology compilation.

He’s a regular on Twitter and certainly never comes across as bitter though, he seems to take a lot of pride in his time in the Beatles.

Yeah, it is sad, but that's the risk of pursuing a career in music. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. Ringo also took that risk when he had to choose between his personal life and his career.

Ringo really was the glue that kept the Beatles together. While it is unfortunate that Pete Best was let off the way he was, they were never going to be as big as they were, and still are today, if they had kept Pete around, his drumming is just not that good.

All those years playing live every night in Germany and all those gigs in Liverpool - night after night. That's what made the Beatles so good - so tight. You don't see that so much in pop music today. "Let's just programme the drum machine." "Let's just use a voice coder ...let's just sample someone else's track",.

@guymichaud5683 3 года назад

Rory Storm felt that Ringo left him in a lurch. Ringo did Rory a SOLID favor. He did finish out the week, which gave Rory three days to find a drummer. Unfortunately, Rory could NOT find a musician to come to Butlins Holiday Camp in that amount of time. Rory even offered Pete Best, Ringo's old job, but Pete was too upset to play with any other band. Rory ended up hiring an actor with no musical experience to be his new drummer. I got this info from one of Spencer Leigh's books.

It’s great that he did join. He’s a typical Scouse joker (meant with peace and love and I’m half Scouse) and if you look at those early interviews in the US, he’s the cheeky pi**taker who gave the funny answers, triggered that humour in the others and won over the press. The ingredients were there but he was the catalyst for their greatness.
