For more than six decades, Ringo Starr has remained one of the most prolific percussionists in rock and roll history. First with The Beatles and later, a long and steady solo career.
While Starr was never the flashiest drummer in rock and roll, he had an instinctive feel for what each song needed. That subtle approach helped shape some of the most recognizable songs in music history, including "Rain," "A Day in the Life," "Come Together, "Ticket to Ride," and "Tomorrow Never Knows."
Starr first joined The Beatles in August 1962, replacing the band's original drummer Pete Best. He played his first gig with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison at Hulme Hall.
That was one of the few recordings in The Beatles' history on which Starr did not appear. He became known for his ability to lock into the groove of McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison and his own compositions, providing a steady backbeat that elevated the songs without overshadowing them.
In the 2008 documentary Off the Record, Starr told Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart why his drum style was so unique. "I'm left-handed. And I'm playing a right-handed kit."
According to his official website, Ringo Starr will celebrate his birthday by continuing to promote Peace and Love. This movement has "grown to include events all over the planet and into the stars with support from NASA. Ringo will celebrate again this year from Los Angeles – watch his Facebook page for a list of events around the world."
