Ringo Starr Facts
The first song he had a hand in writing for an album by The Beatles was "What Goes On", from the 1965 "Rubber Soul" album (which he co-wrote with John Lennon and Paul McCartney). He began his own first song "Don't Pass Me By" years earlier, but it did not appear until 1968's "White Album".

According to George Harrison, Starr unintentionally inspired a number of songs by his witty off-the-cuff remarks. For example, after a long session on The Beatles first film, he was heard to say, "It's been a hard day's night." That was approved by the studio as the title of the film and subsequently the song, "A Hard Day's Night". John Lennon affirmed this in his 1980 Playboy interview, mentioning that "Ringo-isms" had supplied the titles of "A Hard Day's Night" and "Tomorrow Never Knows".

While recording "Stop and Smell the Roses" at Cherokee Studios, he was joined by two former Beatles and their wives. John Lennon and Yoko Ono, as well as Paul and Linda McCartney came into Cherokee to collaborate with Ringo on the solo album. Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones also collaborated, adding guitar, bass, saxophone, keyboards, and back-up vocals.
