On the YouTube channel, Ringo Starr appeared in the show, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the drummer of The Beatles (at the time of delivery of the notes video is unavailable in Russia.— “Kommersant”). It was like all the quarantine concerts, but Boris Barabanov has caused special emotions.Ringo Starr — the eldest of the Beatles and the last, who joined the classic group, replacing in 1962, Pete best. At the first concert of drummer with The Beatles at Liverpool’s Cavern club angry Pete best fans chanted “Pete forever! Ringo never!” and slashed the tires of the car of Brian Epstein, band Manager, and George Harrison all left the club with a black eye. On the first Studio session for Ringo Starr with The Beatles producer George Martin was not pleased with the play of the drummer and the song “Love Me Do” replaced it with session musician Andy white. But by the end of 1962, Ringo became the same object of worship, as the other three musicians.John Lennon is credited with the phrase: “Ringo is the best drummer in the world? He wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles!” But Lennon never said that, and the phrase was first heard in one radio show after his death. It is strange to compare a confident but humble style of play Ringo Starr with hurricane parties John Bonham from Led Zeppelin or Keith moon of The Who. Ringo Starr recorded the most of the drums for the band, as well as the vocals for several fundamental for the whole of the legend of The Beatles songs. Among them — “I Wanna Be Your Man”, “With a Little Help from My Friends” and “Yellow Submarine”. Their authorship belongs to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Songwriting talents of Starr during The Beatles was not too noticeable, although it is the author of such hits as “Octopus’s Garden” and “Don’t Pass Me by”. His heyday as author occurred in the period after the breakup of the Beatles. At the moment, his solo catalog has twenty albums, the last of which came last fall. The most successful album was the album “Ringo” (1973), which included the song “Photograp”. The song, written by Ringo Starr in collaboration with George Harrison, offered the drummer to the top of the hit parade of Billboard magazine.She sounded in a special “Ringo Starr’s Big Birthday Show”, which appeared on YouTube last night. However, it was a recording from one of the concerts of the All-Starr Band — tour groups with ever changing composition, which for many years accompanied by Ringo Starr. The creators of “Ringo Starr’s Big Birthday Show” was to create a completely new product. It was like the online broadcast of the house that Ringo Starr was, sitting behind the drums, sometimes in dialogue with his friend, guitarist Joe Walsh (The Eagles). Some songs were presented in the form of fragments of concerts. For example, Paul McCartney is present in the show just a clip from one of his solo performances (with the song “Helter Skelter”). Personal congratulations with 80-Lement of his colleague, he did not send — or do not show. But a lot of clips sent Ringo numerous relatives and friends, children, grandchildren, parties of record late solo albums, partners in the projects. Special numbers that deserve special attention— “Come Together” The Beatles, Ringo recorded during the quarantine, in cooperation with singer Sheila E. And the new version of the song 2017 “Give More Love” with the participation of Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Peter Frampton, Michael McDonald and many other famous old people.In a festive video lasting just over an hour very well felt the main talent of Ringo Starr. He always was a go-between and calm as a reconciling force within The Beatles and in the music community and I think the world in General. His slogan “Peace and love”, which many times included in that show, looks a bit naive in 2020, when all are at war with everyone and no one knows where everything goes. But he was able to reconcile such different people as his colleagues in the group (this happened more than once in their career), and gather on the same stage musicians from different styles and generations. His support is equally important for Black Lives Matter, for the Foundation of David Lynch, for the movement for clean water and WaterAid for the MusiCares Fund, which helps people in need to musicians— Ringo Starr spent his anniversary broadcast including with the aim to collect money for them. In this program it looked like the universal grandfather, who kept hearty, and who immediately want to send your own video greeting followed by Sheryl crow, Bob Geldof and David Lynch.
