Ringo Starr Biography
Following The Beatles' split, Ringo Starr began his solo career with two specialty albums. Sentimental Journey was a collection of pre-rock and roll standards, and Beaucoups Of Blues featured country songs. Starr's first rock single, 1971's "It Don't Come Easy," was co-written with George Harrison. It reached #4 in both the US and UK and the song sold over 1 million copies. His follow up single, "Back Off Boogaloo," was also written with Harrison and again reached both the US and UK Top 10. Starr's first rock album, 1973's Ringo, featured all four Beatles on different songs and is considered his best album. The album was a US/UK Top 10 hit and had two US chart toppers, "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen." Both songs also reached the UK Top 10. Another US single, "Oh My My" reached #5. 1974's Goodnight Vienna and the singles "Only You," "No No Song," and "Snookeroo" were all US Top 10 hits.

Starr continued to release critically and commercially lesser albums through 1981's Stop And Smell The Roses. 1982's Old Wave was not issued at the time. In the 1980's he appeared in some movies and television programs. Starr came back in 1989 with his "All-Starr Band." He has continued to tour and release live albums with this band featuring an all star cast of rotating musicians. He also began to issue occasional studio albums: 1992's Time Takes Time, 1998's Vertical Man, and 2003's Ringorama.
