What was your favorite performance by Ringo Starr?

[robertkerr]

Many people don’t believe that Ringo was/is a great drummer. None of those people are drummers themselves. On the other hand almost all professional drummers praise him as great and as a huge influence. Vocally he doesn’t have a huge range but his voice quality is warm and endearing. He is a great entertainer and has the best personality of all the Beatles. They were lucky to have him.

[christinerobinson]

What I love about Ringo is, although he wasn't born with the best voice in the band, he's really developed strength and confidence in his voice over his solo career.

[shackdaddy]

Good Night was the most beautiful song that the Beatles ever recorded. Ringo did it perfectly.

[elirosen]

I couldn't help but notice "If You've Got Trouble" wasn't listed in this video. I know it's not one of their best, but it's still a Starr-vocal!

[ericbgordon]

"I don't remember any squabbles."
"You don't remember anything, do you?"

That really broke me up. Does it get any better than that?

[ronnyvonallmen]

“Goodnight” is an Under Rated Classic….

[thomasprevity]

Ringo Starr is quite a unique singer. I also believe that his drumming is underrated. My favorite Ringo songs while he was with the Beatles are Octopus' Garden, Yellow Submarine, and A Little Help From My Friends. I also enjoy most of the solo done by Ringo Starr.

[ilovemydog]

Excellent video as always.Thank you for the download. I really enjoy your work.. It is really interesting and I love learning from you.

[toshi]

I love Your sixteen, Your beautiful and your mine. Octopus's garden, and Yellow Submarine. It don't come easy is another huge favourite of mine as is Photograph. Basically any of his songs appeal to me. Hard to choose between them. But I just love Ringo anyway. He always comes across as very laid back and pretty happy.

[joefroelich]

Don’t pass me by Is one of my favorite songs from that album.

[nateds]

He also sings with Paul on Carry That Weight, and the chorus of Maxwells Silver Hammer.

[helenebrigham]

I enjoy the channel it's a way to relax and yet learn

[stepheneinbinder]

If you listen carefully, you can also hear Ringo's voice in the instrumental "Flying" from Magical Mystery Tour, and "Carry That Weight" from Abbey Road.
Noteworthy: Of Ringo's 11 vocal leads as a Beatle, 4 were covers; 2 of those covers by Carl Perkins, 4 by John and Paul for Ringo to sing, 1 by John, Paul and Ringo himself, and 2 by Ringo himself.

[bluesky]

He’s a great entertainer.. especially later on.. watching his gestures as he sings..

[mark..A]

On the song "with a little help from my friends ", the way his voice detunes in places adds an amazing effect to the song.

Mark e Smith used this technique too, to great effect

[kjeldpedersen]

Interviewer:
“What makes it a Ringo song? What defines that...?”
Ringo Starr:
“Because I recorded it - and the way I sing it!”
Exactly, Mr. Starkey. Not the greatest singer (-or even drummer) in the world, but with the H... of a lot of personality and charm.
It would take a very cold person not to like Ringos performances😊

[IwasInThes]

Every time Ringo performs "Boys' it becomes a new favorite. Ringo is so multi-talented. Besides being the greatest drummer in history and being a great singer, he also composed great music and presents some of the greatest rock shows. His "Liverpool" never fails to draw tears from my eyes.

[marcosvieiracarpes]

There's another song in the album anthology 2 that Ringo sung: If you ve got trouble

[markbrown]

I think Ringo was a beautiful singer. I love the way he sung at naturally and honey don’t. I think it would’ve been really cool if he was a song rocky raccoon I think he would’ve really did a good job on that one too. I am a total beetle fan. I’ve been one every since I was 11 years old. Thanks for the video. You did a great job.👍🏼👍🏼😁😎🎸❤️
