The only two songs from The Beatles that Ringo got sole credit for were “Don’t Pass Me By” (1968) and “Octopus’s Garden” (1969). However, Ricard Starkey did sing lead vocals on several tunes. Besides these two tracks, you can hear him singing the lead on “With a Little Help from My Friends ” Sgt. Peppers and a few others. Listen up, or get down with the #FabFour  https://youtu.be/Qr8OuW5JJgQ

Expect lots of strange things to see, as folks who turn past 80 begin to think and act naturally. It Doesn't Come Easy!
