Ringo Starr was a great drummer and he could sing pretty well too.
This Day In Rock & Roll History
Each weekday on WIRL we do a feature called "This Day In Rock & Roll History" on Goodtime Oldies 1290 and 102.7 WIRL, Peoria IL.
Here are a couple Beatles related items from today, Friday April 1:
1970: Ringo Starr enters Abbey Road Studios alone for what would be the very last Beatles session, overdubbing percussion on "The Long and Winding Road," "Across The Universe," and "I Me Mine."
Producer Phil Spector wraps things up by applying strings to all three.
Also in 1970: John Lennon and Yoko Ono play an April Fool's joke on an already confused press by announcing that they would undergo mutual sex-change operations.
