Ringo Starr

== Info ==
Former member of The Beatles. Considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. Noted for his thick Liverpool accent. Had some solo success, but far less than Paul McCartney and Wings or John Lennon. His solo band was known as the All-Starr Band. He is the only Beatle not to be inducted twice as a performer. Instead, he was given the Award for Musical Excellence. His solo hits include a cover of You're Sixteen by Johnny Burnette and the Rock 'n Roll Trio as well as Photograph and It Don't Come Easy. Real name Richard Starkey, he adopted the nickname "Ringo" because of all the rings he wore. When Lorne Greene performed the song Ringo, it was a hit because everyone thought it was about Ringo Starr. It was actually about Western outlaw Johnny Ringo.
