Ringo Starr ~ Oh My My 1973 Disco Purrfection Version

Digging around for those ol' 70's boogie woogie tunes like this one that get me out of my chair and push it back cos "Oh My My" I can boogie, I can slide it's guaranteed to keep me alive. I need lots of room to move when I put this one on!

I loved each Beatle equally, they were so awesome while they were together! After they broke up Wings picked up a fan in me, John Lennon did too as did George Harrison. Ringo, for some reason feels a little closer to my heart because of his music. The guy with the puppy dog eyes who could pull off "Yellow Submarine" and turn a kids rhyme into a rock classic was the one to watch out for.

Ringo's birth name is Richard Starkey and he was born July 7, 1940. He joined the Beatles in 1962 and they broke up in 1970. He was already getting other stars to help him on his albums, and for "Oh My My" he had Martha Reeves and Merry Clayton on background vocals, Billy Preston on keyboards and Tom Scott on sax. Starr and Jim Keltner play drums, while Klaus Voormann plays bass. The drum pattern resembles the Beatles "Get Back", but the Billy Preston keyboards really help make this one great! Producer Richard Perry really had a handle on Starr's vision.

Right out of the gate, Ringo started racking up the hits, "It Don't Come Easy" (#4, 1971), "Back Off Boogaloo" (#9, 1972), then a pair of #1's "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen" (both from 1973) then was followed up with the rousing "Oh My My" which peaked at #5 in 1974. He continued on with "Only You" (#6, 1974) and then "No, No Song" (#3, 1975).

The hits tapered off after that, his last Top 40 hit was in 1981 with "Wrack My Brain". He had started a new career as an actor, and with the smoking hot Barbara Bach or Lady Starkey, became his wife in 1981 the same year they starred in a movie together called "Caveman", "200 Motels" with Frank Zappa and played the Pope in Ken Russel's 1975 flick "Lisztomania" and as voice actor for "The Point". He made a lot of musical friends and in 1989 put together Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band that still tours and records to this day!

Oh my my, DiscoCat did it again. Took a great song, and made it even better. Ringo Starr should listen to this. He'd enjoy it.

I love all Beatles as much as you do! Thx for this great version!

[janetoconnor]

I think this is one of Ringo's best songs along with Only You and the No No Song.

[edwardkirkland]

So sad that this wonderful song was EQd and produced for AM sound. Thanks Cat-you always bring your fans the BEST!!!

[TheBeagle]

My goodness whata great job you did with this! on my my is right! :-)

[jamesmonroe]

One of the BEST Solo tracks by a former Beatle-now IMPROVED by Disco 🐈 Cat!!

[richardboudeman]

a little trivia...the beatles (had NUMBER ONES) are the only group to have each member (john, paul, George and ringo) go solo and each to have a NUMBER ONE HIT!!!

[thomastarwater]

Klaus Voormaan rocked that electric bass!

[truckerkevthepaidtourist]

was just a fun little Ringo Style song made for him. nothing serious nothing social at time.. just goofing off and having fun you did a great job on this I like how you extended it 💃🕺

after having what I like to call a cast of characters in his all-star band about the last seven years he is just got a great crew with him all the time..
Steve lukather, greg p, the one and only original voice is Santana and journey Greg Rollie, not to mention Colin Hay and men At work.. and recently the last few times out prior to the corona he had from The average White Band Hamish Stuart another great character himself.

Hearing this on XM, the DJ said Ringo Starr performed this on stage live some years ago. Afterwards and exhausted, he commented: "Why did I make this song so long?"

[mikeysuzefour]

Ringo as well as George were both accused of being underrated songwriters...Guess George Martin and the other Beatles found out later on just how good they were/are.

[brunorossipizzi]

I'm literally gasping in awe, dear friend. Indeed, last month I requested Ringo's “It Don't Come Easy”. Yet, I believe that this track fits much better with your channel's philosophy, for it conveys the quintessence of Starr's works during the 70's, With a Little Help from DiscoCat! ⭐️✌🏼

[williamchiafos]

And guess who on the keys ?
William Everett Preston.

[RIXRADvidz]

Bette Midler did a version of this on her '' Live At Last '' album. with a little more up tempo
