Ringo Starr hit the jackpot when The Beatles asked him to join the band. Likewise, the Fab Four’s career might have looked much different without Ringo’s hall-of-fame drumming talent. Beatles fans hit the jackpot when a long-lost secret song Ringo and George Harrison worked on finally saw the light of day in 2021.
Ringo focused his efforts on The Beatles once he joined the band in August 1962. When the band started splintering at the end of the decade, he started branching out. He played on the Plastic Ono Band single “Cold Turkey” in 1969 and contributed to the 1969 album Is This What You Want by Jackie Lomax, per AllMusic.
Likewise, George started writing music at such a prolific pace that he once said he’d have to make a hundred Beatles albums to get his songs out. Still, George found a way to release his first solo record while still a member of the Fab Four.
