Ringo Starr - Voice Your Choice

What can I say about the most famous drummer of all time? Not much that I can pass on to you that you don't already know. So I think I'll stick to wishing Ringo Starr a very Happy 70th Birthday. Now THAT is hard to believe!

Most people would have been thrilled and satisfied to have been a member of the The Beatles, one of the Fab Four. Imagine having a whole new career as a solo artist. That's exactly what happened to Ringo. In his post-Beatles solo career, he appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 charts fourteen times between late 1970 and late 1981. Impressive enough, but out of all those charted singles, seven became Top Ten hits, and three reached Gold Record status.

Treasure Island Oldies presents Ringo Starr on Voice Your Choice with It Don't Come Easy and Photograph. Which song would you like to hear? Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page. The winning song will get played in the third hour of next week's show.
