Early years

Ringo Starr was born at 9 Madryn Street,[2] Dingle, Liverpool. Dingle (known locally as The Dingle) is an Inner-city area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England. [3][4] Starr's parents split up when he was three years old; his mother,[5] Elsie, married Harry Graves,[6] whom Starr liked and who encouraged his interest in music. [7][8][5] His childhood was filled with long hospital stays, once in Heswall Children's Hospital in Wirral, where the air was cleaner than in Liverpool — an appendicitis-caused coma and a cold-turned-pleurisy were among his ailments — consequently, he fell far behind in school. Liverpool ( is a City and Metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary Appendicitis (or epityphlitis) is a condition characterized by Inflammation of the appendix. In Medicine, a coma (from the Greek koma, meaning deep sleep is a profound state of Unconsciousness. Pleurisy, also known as pleuritis, is an Inflammation of the pleura the lining of the Pleural cavity surrounding the Lungs Pleurisy has a variety After his last extended visit to hospital, beginning at age 13, he did not return to school. [9][10] His health problems had another enduring effect: allergies and sensitivities to food. When he traveled to India in 1968 with the other Beatles, he took his own food with him.

[11]

Like the other Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, Richard (or Richie as he was known in those days)[12] also eventually became caught up in Liverpool's Skiffle craze. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942 is an English rock Singer, Bass guitarist songwriter Composer, George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001 was an English rock Guitarist Singer - Songwriter, Author Skiffle is a type of Folk music with Jazz, Blues and Country influences usually using homemade or improvised instruments such as the Washboard In the year 1957, Starr started his own group with Eddie Miles, which was originally named the "Eddie Miles Band," but evolved into "Eddie Clayton and the Clayton Squares;" "Clayton Square" was a local landmark and "Clayton" Eddie Miles' stage surname. Year 1957 ( MCMLVII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar) Edward Miles Jr (born July 5, 1940 in North Little Rock Arkansas) is a retired American Basketball player Starr joined the Raving Texans in 1959, a quartet that backed singer Rory Storm. The year 1959 ( MCMLIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Rory Storm (21 September 1939 - 28 September 1972 was an English singer and musician [13] During this time, he got the nickname Ringo, because of the rings he wore,[14] because it sounded 'cowboyish', and because the name Starr allowed his drum solos to be billed as 'Starr Time'. [15]

Starr originally met the Beatles in Hamburg, in October 1960, while he was performing with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Hamburg (English, German: ˈhambʊɐk local pronunciation Low German / Low Saxon: Hamborg) is the second-largest city in Germany Year 1960 ( MCMLX) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

[18]

Although Storm had mixed feelings about losing Starr,[19][20] Best's fans were upset, holding vigils outside Best's house and fighting at the Cavern Club, shouting 'Pete forever! Ringo never!'[20] Similarly, other fans yelled the contrary: "Ringo forever! Pete never!"

Musical role in The Beatles

Starr's drumming style played a pivotal role in the music played and recorded by The Beatles, and is praised for its highly distinctive sound. The Cavern Club is a Rock and roll club at 10 Mathew Street Liverpool, England, where Brian Epstein was introduced to The Beatles He filled the role he was hired for in 1962, then went on to establish a new approach to rhythm in popular music that some claim continues to grow in its significance and influence with every decade since The Beatles recorded their music. [21]

Lennon said of Starr:

“ Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. He was a professional drummer who sang and performed and had Ringo Starr-time and he was in one of the top groups in Britain but especially in Liverpool before we even had a drummer . . . Ringo's a damn good drummer. [22] ”

Drummer Steve Smith said:

“ Before Ringo, drum stars were measured by their soloing ability and virtuosity. Steve Smith (born on August 21 1954 in Whitman Massachusetts) is a famous American Drummer who has worked with hundreds of artists in his In Music, a solo (from the Italian solo, meaning alone) is a piece or a section of a piece played or sung by a single performer Ringo's popularity brought forth a new paradigm in how the public saw drummers. We started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect. One of Ringo's great qualities was that he composed unique, stylistic drum parts for the Beatles songs. His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song. [23] ”

Many drummers list Starr as an influence, including Dave Grohl of Nirvana/Foo Fighters, Orri Páll Dýrason of Sigur Ros,[24] Max Weinberg of the E Street Band, Danny Carey of Tool, Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel's band, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden, Phil Collins, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater and others.

The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. "A Day in the Life" is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, written by John Lennon with the middle eight by Paul McCartney You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that. ' He wouldn't know what to do. "[26]

In his extensive survey of The Beatles' recording sessions, Mark Lewisohn confirmed that Starr was both proficient and remarkably reliable and consistent. The Beatles and related subjects Over the course of his career Mark Lewisohn has worked for EMI, MPL Communications and Apple, and has written many reference According to Lewisohn, there were fewer than a dozen occasions in The Beatles' eight-year recording career where session 'breakdowns' were caused by Starr making a mistake, while the vast majority of takes were stopped due to mistakes by the other three members. [25]

Starr is also considered to have advanced various modern drumming techniques, such as the matched grip, placing the drums on high risers for visibility as part of the band, tuning the drums lower, and using muffling devices on tonal rings, along with his general contributions to The Beatles as a whole. Matched grip is a method of holding Drum sticks and mallets to play Percussion instruments. [23] Specific drum parts executed by Starr in notably signature fashion include the fill that brings the drums and bass guitar into "Hey Jude", the steady rock beats in "Please Please Me" and other early Beatles recordings, the drum kit pattern through the bridge of "Hello, Goodbye", and the driving bass drum notes found in "Lady Madonna", underlying the more intricate, double-tracked snare drum. " Hey Jude " is a song by the English rock band The Beatles that was recorded in 1968 " Please Please Me " is the second single released by the The Beatles in the UK and the first to be issued in the US " Hello Goodbye " is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. " Lady Madonna " is a song by The Beatles, written mostly by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon/McCartney. His use of a 'sizzle' cymbal (a cymbal incorporated with rivets that vibrate) would bring a much fuller sound than standard 'ride' cymbals. Starr comments his best drumming is on the 1966 single B-side "Rain". " Rain " is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, credited to Lennon/McCartney.

McCartney took over the drums on "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Dear Prudence", the first two tracks on the White Album (1968) after Starr had walked out, disgusted with the band's tensions and bored with waiting around to contribute. " Back in the USSR " is a 1968 song by The Beatles (credited to the song writing partnership Lennon/McCartney but mainly written by " Dear Prudence " is a song written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon/McCartney. He did not return for two weeks until the other three Beatles urged him to come back. He spent the fortnight with actor Peter Sellers on his yacht Amelfis in Piraeus, where he wrote "Octopus's Garden". Richard Henry Sellers, CBE, commonly known as Peter Sellers ( 8 September 1925 &ndash 24 July 1980) was a British Piraeus (pɪˈræʊs Πειραιάς, piɾeˈas Πειραιεύς, piɾeˈefs is a city in the periphery of Attica, Greece, and a " Octopus's Garden " is a song written by Ringo Starr with a little help from George Harrison (although it is credited solely to Starr as "Starkey" Lennon sent telegrams to Starr, and Harrison set up flowers all over the studio for Starr's return saying "Welcome home".

[30] Starr also did not play drums on The Beatles' first-ever single, "Love Me Do". " Love Me Do " is an early Lennon/McCartney song principally written by Paul McCartney in 1958&ndash59 while playing truant from school Session drummer Andy White was brought in by The Beatles' producer George Martin to record in place of Pete Best, and Martin claims to not have realized prior to the session that The Beatles had hired a professional drummer.

Pete Best (b 24 November 1941 in Madras, British India) is a Starr played tambourine on the version of "Love Me Do" featuring Andy White and maracas on "P. S. I Love You". [31]

Starr generally sang at least one song on each studio album as part of establishing the vocal personality of all four members, a quality that is rarely seen in many other bands. In some cases, Lennon or McCartney would write the lyrics and melody especially for him, as they did for "Yellow Submarine" from Revolver (1966). " Yellow Submarine " is a 1966 song by The Beatles (credited to Lennon/McCartney) which was recorded by John Lennon, Paul McCartney Revolver is the seventh album by English rock band The Beatles, released on 5 August 1966.

" A Hard Day's Night " is a song by British rock band The Beatles. " Tomorrow Never Knows " is the final track of The Beatles ' 1966 studio album Revolver. Ringo occasionally contributed lyrics to unfinished Lennon and McCartney songs, such as the line "darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there" in "Eleanor Rigby". " Eleanor Rigsby " is a song by The Beatles, originally released on the 1966 Album Revolver.

Starr commented in The Beatles Anthology that when he presented a song to The Beatles, it would often sound to the other three Beatles like another popular song, and Starr recognised the similarities when they were pointed out. The Beatles Anthology is the name of a documentary series a series of three albums and a book all of which focus on the history of The Beatles.

Other contributions to The Beatles

Starr's non-musical contributions to the band were also significant, especially in their early years of fame. A natural actor, he was the central character in the plots of both of the band's live action films (A Hard Day's Night and Help!), and in the animated Yellow Submarine (although he and the other Beatles did not actually perform the voice acting in Yellow Submarine). A Hard Day's Night is a 1964 British Comedy film written by Alun Owen starring The Beatles — John Lennon, Paul McCartney Help! is a 1965 film starring The Beatles and featuring Leo McKern, Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti, John Bluthal, Roy Yellow Submarine is a 1968 animated Feature film based on the music of The Beatles. Starr's affable nature and sad, expressive face provided a strong counterpoint and complement to the other group member personalities. This same quality was an essential element in the group's celebrated wit and collective comic persona. He was later a calming, cohesive force when group tensions and conflicts arose. Lennon stated after the Beatles' split that Starr was the under-appreciated "soul" of the group. After the split, Starr remained close to each of the other three, all of whom went through periods of angry estrangement from each other. He has also remained close to the former wives of his bandmates.
