Ringo Starr Info
All topics pertaining to Ringo (excluding Photo threads) go in here. Happy posting!
Richard Starkey Jr.was born in the front room of 9 Madryn Street in
Liverpool's Dingle area on July 7, 1940. At a young age, Richard's stepfather bought him a drum kit and Richard showed promise of becoming a great musician. He bounced around from band to band but he finally found a home with Rory Storm & the Hurricanes. Rory Storm insisted that Richard add some flare to his act by renaming him Ringo Starr. Ringo was with the Hurricanes for a few years - until the Beatles were signed and decided they no longer liked their drummer, Pete and would rather have Ringo. He accepted and they later became the world's greatest band..ever! When the Beatles broke up, Ringo created his own group - Ringo & His All Starr Band. They are currently touring.
