It Don't Come Easy The Story of Ringo Starr

By M. Dominique Grandfils

The Beatles have forever left their mark on the history of popular music. Their songs are still listened to more than fifty years after the band's breakup. Richard Starkey was one of those four lads who shook the world. Under the pseudonym Ringo Starr, he had already built a solid reputation as a drummer. With the Beatles, he would achieve fame, even becoming an idol for young American girls. After an incredible journey of nearly eight years, Ringo embarked on a solo career, once again crowned with success. He was the only one able to bring John, Paul, and George together on his albums, keeping alive the hope of an impossible reunion. After tougher years marked by excesses and the loss of close friends, Ringo Starr managed to pull himself together and get his life back on track. With his All Starr Band, composed of some of the greatest rock musicians, he performs all over the world, spreading his eternal message of peace and love. The drummer remains in incredible shape after several decades of sobriety. The journey of this frail kid from Liverpool, whose illness could have held him back, is truly remarkable. He is, without a doubt, a survivor with an incredible thirst for life. French author Dominique Grandfils has shared his passion for music since 1987, first on the radio and then in print media. He has published several works on Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Billy Joel, Hall and Oates, and Cat Stevens. He also authored Anthologie du rock français .
