In August of 1962, Ringo Starr was asked to join a band called the The Beatles, and he jumped at the opportunity. The rest is history. When The Beatles finally split up in 1970, Ringo already had two solo albums under his belt, Beaucoups of Blues and Sentimental Journey. He went on to release a string of singles that were hits. Ringo also decided to act in movies and dabbled in producing them as well. The younger generation may know him as the magical character, Mr. Conductor in the PBS hit series Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends. He also appeared in television movies like Alice in Wonderland. Ringo performed on the drums on a few songs for Paul McCartney’s Pipes of Peace and George Harrison’s Cloud Nine albums. 1989 saw the birth of Ringo’s first solo concert tour when he formed his own group, Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band. Ringo released Postcards from Paradise in 2015. He continues to tour the globe.
