Ringo Starr: The Early Days
Ringo Starr spent the early years of his music career as part of different groups. Those stints gave him invaluable experience and insight in the world of music. He first shot to prominence when he joined “Rory Storm and the Hurricanes,” a rock and roll band from his native Liverpool. Ringo was their drummer and the band began to create a lot of headlines by the time early 1960’s rolled in.
The Beatles and Solo Career
The Hurricanes became famous in quite a few countries around Europe and it was Ringo Starr’s exploits with them as a drummer that brought his way an offer from The Beatles. He accepted and joined the band in 1962. The rest as they say is history. The Beatles went on to become one of the most legendary rock bands of all time.
For the next eight years, Beatlemania kept the whole world mesmerized. They made their debut with the album “Please Please Me” in the year 1963. It turned out to be an incredible hit which put The Beatles under the spotlight in the UK. Their music was turning heads in the US and beyond and the Beatlemania reached fever pitch in 1964 when they performed on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”
After selling hundreds and millions of albums worldwide, The Beatles began to break up and Ringo Starr was their third member to go solo in 1970. He came out with immensely successful albums and songs like “It Don’t Come Easy,” “Photograph,” “You’re Sixteen,”“Back Off Boogaloo,” and “Ringo.”
Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band
In 1989, David Fishof formed Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band. It is a supergroup that has toured extensively since its formation. Ringo leads the group and has somewhat of a revolving cast of artists that go on to tour with it. Ringo Starr performs some tracks from The Beatles and then sings a few from his solo collection. The other performers then take the stage to perform some of their own tracks. The likes of “Steve Lukather,” “Gregg Rolie,” “ Richard page,” “Todd Rundgren,” “Gregg Bissonette” and “Mark Rivera” have been frequent members of the touring party when Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band hit the road.
Now that the supergroup is on his way to you once again as part of its latest tour, this is your chance to relive the genius of The Beatles and a whole lot more, live.
