Iconic Albums - Ringo Starr - Ringo

In 1973, Ringo Starr achieved what many thought impossible-he stepped out from behind the Beatles' drum kit to deliver a solo masterpiece. Ringo wasn't just another ex-Beatle album; it was a joyous, star-studded celebration of friendship, music, and personality. With contributions from John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and a cast of rock legends, the record blended humor, heart, and hit-making craft into one unforgettable collection.

This book takes you inside the making of Ringo, exploring every track in detail-from the universal longing of "Photograph" to the playful bounce of "You're Sixteen," the swagger of "Oh My My," and the curtain-call finale of "You and Me (Babe)." Along the way, you'll discover how producer Richard Perry polished the sound, how Apple Records framed the release, and why the album became both a commercial blockbuster and a lasting pop classic.

Part music history, part cultural chronicle, this volume in the Iconic Albums series shows why Ringo remains the definitive statement of Starr's solo career-and why its spirit of joy still resonates half a century later.
