- 'It Don't Come Easy' Released in the Spring of 1971, Ringo's third single was an incredible step forward for the man behind the most famous drum kit.
- 'Back Off Boogaloo' Ringo lets it all rock out on this classic single. "Back Off Boogaloo" was issued as the U.K. glam movement was in full swing, so it's no surprise that it shares a certain stomp and crunch with the glitter brigade.
- 'Photograph' Ringo and George Harrison had something special going in their post-Beatles world together. The duo worked on each others records and the hits kept coming.
- 'Blindman' From: B-side (1972) Perhaps bitten by the bug with the Beatles films, as far back as 1968's Candy, Ringo had been delving into acting. In 1971, he landed himself a staring role in the spaghetti western-styled film, "Blindman."
Starr's playing style, which emphasised feel over technical virtuosity, influenced many drummers to reconsider their playing from a compositional perspective. He also influenced various modern drumming techniques, such as the matched grip , tuning the drums lower, and using muffling devices on tonal rings. [ 4 ]
