He owned an album called "Midnight Jamboree" by country star Ernest Tubb. The events leading up to Ringo's inspriation for the song begin with his friend Roy Trafford. “Don't Pass Me By,” or at least some portion of it, had been written at 10 Admiral Grove in Dingle, Liverpool, where Ringo lived until 1963. Mark Lewisohn's book “The Beatles: All These Years, Volume One – Tune In” states that Ringo premiered the song to the rest of The Beatles just after he joined the group in August of 1962. That's how it happened: I was just sitting at home alone and 'Don't Pass Me By' arrived."īut when did this writing session occur? Ringo's first composition didn't arrive on the scene until November of 1968, but the writing took place much earlier than that. I was fiddling with the piano - I just bang away - and then if a melody comes and some words, I just have to keep going. "I wrote 'Don't Pass Me By' when I was sitting 'round at home," Ringo explained in the book "Beatles Anthology." "I only play three chords on the guitar and three on the piano. While Ringo received partial songwriting credits on three other Beatles songs (“ What Goes On,” “ Flying” and “ Maggie Mae”), he ended up offering up two solo compositions for the Beatles catalog, the first being “Don't Pass Me By.”
One of these early attempts did, however, eventually get recorded by The Beatles, as did another song he wrote in 1968. I can get the words all right, but whenever I think of a tune the others always say it sounds like such-a-thing, and when they point it out, I see what they mean.” “I used to wish that I could write songs like the others,” Ringo stated in the mid 60's. But could he write songs, allowing him to join in with his other band-mates in collecting songwriting royalties? George Harrison joined the fray before too long, his songwriting improving by leaps and bounds as he got more experience under his belt.īut what about Ringo Starr? His popularity was immense, especially in America where a pseudo “ Ringo For President” campaign took place. Once it was shown that the quality of their original songs were consistently above par, The Beatles earned the right to only include their own compositions on their albums as well, which meant there was room for songs by band members other than the greatly prolific John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They got their way, of course, resulting in every British Beatles single released during their career being an original composition, both a-sides and b-sides. The Beatles argued to release a song they wrote instead. Such was the case in 1962 when George Martin strongly recommended that Mitch Murray's "How Do You Do It" should be the group's first single. In fact, it was quite customary at the time for recording artists to release music, especially singles, written by established songwriters who had already proven themselves. preferably tightīut there's plenty of fish in the sea.When The Beatles began their recording career, it was completely unheard of that every member of a pop band would be songwriters.
