(ANSA) - ROME, JULY 04 - On Tuesday July 7, Sir Richard Starkey, for all Ringo Starr, will be 80 years old. It is the birthday of the most famous drummer, and according to some sources, even the richest, in the world.
"I like birthdays and this year's one will be a little more special. No guests, no cake for a hundred people.
On the other hand, we will put on this show and it will still be a big birthday. To wish me the fans can say, think or post #peaceandlove at midnight on July 7th "declared.
On his Youtube channel a beneficial concert will be online starting from two in the morning between 7 and 8 July with home performances and live footage of Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Garu Clark jr., Sheila E, Ben Harper, Steve Earle, Peter Frampton and others.
In addition to the most famous and richest drummer in the world, RingoStarr is probably also one of the most underrated ever, but only by those who conceive music as a pure exercise in divirtuism: the Beatles would not have been the Beatles with a different drummer.
It should be remembered that, in 1962, when John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison called him into the band, he was already the best of the Liverpool scene, a fame earned first on the skiffle scene and then with Rory and the Hurricanes. I am unsure of poor Pete Best, who sat behind the dishes and the drum before him, that August 16th he will never forget him.
Ringo has invented a way of playing the instrument: a left-handed player who plays from the right and this makes his style unique. More than technique, he always thought of musicality, of an idelelodic of drums. Some of his rhythmic inventions, such as "Come Together", "Rain", "A Day in a Life" are classic: all his colleagues, even the most celebrated, recognize this ability. (HANDLE).
