Ringo Starr Yo,

Ringo Starr was born July 7th 1940in liver pool England. He was english musician who ended up being a drummer for the band The Beatles. Ringo was the oldest Beatle of the group. Before his big break with the Beatles, Ring formed a group called the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Groupd in 1957. In 1959 he moved on to the Raving Texans led by Rory Storm. With all of these bands he became a great drummer. Ringo got his nick name because of the numerous rings he wore on his pink and ring finger, but his real named was Richard Starkey. The name Starr was chosen by part of his last name, and it just sounded catchy. Rory Storm changed his band name to the Hurricanes and they became a big deal in Liverpool and Germany. In 1962 Ringo met his fellow Beatles and decided to join the band .

Ringo had major health problems throughout his career starting with him having his tonsils out. once this was dealt with the Beatles were on their way to fame. He always sat in the back because of him playing t he drums, and this caused him to be considered the least important Beatle. He wasn't a strong vocalist and he wasn't one of the main writers but without him the band wouldn't have been what it ended up being.

Ringo has the motto of " peace and love" to the world and was kind and honest and just as important as any of the other Beatles.

Ringo was married twice once to Maureen Cox in February 1965. They then divorced in 1975 and sadly Maureen died of Leukemia. He then married Barabra Bach who he met on the set of Cavemen.

Ringo had multiple solo efforts with hits such as " photography, " back off boogaloo", " you're sixteen", and " it don't come easy".

Ringo Starr was a huge part of society and is loved by many, his efforts in the Beatles made them known as big as they are throughout the world,and without him this possibly never would have happened.
