Just ahead of his 83rd birthday today (7/07), Ringo Starr revealed the song that he feels changed his life and defines his career. The Beatles drummer admits that the band’s first official single, “Love Me Do,” is the song that means the most.
"We were on vinyl," he recalled. "We made a record. Even though when I got to the studio, (producer) George Martin had a session guy for the drums, Andy White, but I played on it anyway. He played it, I played it — he’s on the album, I think, and I’m on the single, so go figure.”
Starr remembers the band pulling their car over at 3:14pm to listen to the single on the radio. “ I mean, it was a really big moment,” the rocker, who as we well know would go on to be a global phenomenon, confessed.
