Ringo is the third studio album by Ringo Starr, released in 1973. Previously, in 1970 Starr had released two cover albums, Sentimental Journey and Beaucoup Of Blues. He had then put music on the back burner as he pursued an acting career. During this hiatus, however, he released two successful singles, "It Don't Come Easy" and "Back Off Boogaloo". These laid the groundwork for a full scale relaunch of Starr's music career.Ringo is notable for its loose, party-like atmosphere and for Starr's strong vocals, a surprise to some who'd considered Starr's contributions Album Filler while he was with The Beatles.Ah yes, The Beatles, the elephant in the room. This is remembered as one of only two projects between their breakup in 1970 and John Lennon's murder in 1980 on which all four members appear— albeit not all on the same track; the other project was Ringo's Rotogravure in 1976. A little help from your friends certainly doesn't hurt.

Visual Pun: Ringo forms the letter "I" in his name/the title, and there's a star over his head.

Serious Business: John Lennon specifically tried to avert this by giving "I'm The Greatest" to Ringo. Lennon had initially intended to record it himself as a tongue-in-cheek and slightly sarcastic change from his usual introspective material of the period (it was inspired by watching himself in A Hard Day's Night when it was first broadcast on TV in the early 1970s and thinking about everything that had happened in the decade since). Once he'd written it, he began to worry that because everyone regarded him as The Deep and Serious Beatle and took what he had to say about things way too seriously, if he was to record a song about great he was and being a Beatle had been even sarcastically it would generate unnecessary controversy and Wild Mass Guessing from critics and fans. Ringo, on the other hand, could get away with it because he was always regarded as the good-natured, easy-going everyman of the group who was just there having fun anyway.
