Ringo is the third studio album by Ringo Starr, released in 1973 on Apple Records. It peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. In Canada, it reached No. 1 on the RPM national albums chart.
Ringo Starr's third studio album was released in 1973 on Apple Records. Starr's first two albums, Sentimental Journey and Beaucoups Of Blues, were both released in 1970. Although he scored subsequent hit singles with It Don't Come Easy and Back Off Boogaloo, he chose to focus on acting. However, in 1973 he returned to music, enlisting producer Richard Perry and a range of guest composers and performers. Ringo is most notable for featuring all four former Beatles, although not all on any single song.
With Ringo, Ringo Starr finally put his solo career in gear in 1973, after serving notice with back-to-back Top Ten singles in 1971 and 1972 that he had more to offer than his eccentric first two solo albums. Ringo was a big-budget pop album produced by Richard Perry and featuring Ringo's former Beatles bandmates as songwriters, singers, and instrumentalists. On no single track did all four appear, though George Harrison played the guitars on the John Lennon-penned leadoff track "I'm the Greatest," with Lennon playing piano and singing harmony
With his third solo album, Ringo, the former Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr, finally put his solo career in gear, showing that he had a lot more to offer than his eccentric first two solo albums, Sentimental Journey and Beaucoup Of Blues, both released in 1970. Issued three years later, on 2 November 1973, Ringo was a far more satisfying record, made on a big budget and featuring an amazing cast of backing musicians.

Ringo Starr "Ringo" (1973) album. I'm The Greatest Lyrics. Have You Seen My Baby Lyrics.
Ringo Starr's various late-career All Star bands may have been somewhat shaggy, nostalgia-laden affairs, but they found a warm reception with audiences far and wide. But the concept of Starr gathering a roster of stellar musician friends in a comfortable, partylike atmosphere was hardly a new one. Until 1973's Ringo, Starr's solo work had been a strange mix of quirky exercises in nostalgia (Sentimental Journey), country & western (Beaucoups of Blues) and Beatles-esque top 10 hits ("It Don't Come Easy," "Back Off Boogaloo"). These "extras" were not necessary because the album holds its own in its original form.
