Ringo Starr – “Photograph”, “You’re Sixteen” And “Six O’Clock”

In 1974 while visiting my older brother in Invercargill at the very bottom of New Zealand’s South Island, I bought the Ringo Starr album “Ringo”, featuring the single “Photograph”, which went to No. 1 in America.

Another song from the album, also a Number 1 hit in the USA, was “You’re Sixteen”.

I also rather like “Six O’Clock”, penned by Paul McCartney.

Here is the album version of “Photograph”, which was co-written by another former member of The Beatles, George Harrison, and produced by Richard Perry:

I’m not sure when this live version of “Photograph” was performed, it is Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band, featuring John Entwistle of The Who on bass, Billy Preston on keyboards and Ringo’s son Zak Starkey on drums (at least I think it is, I had to change the video, this one is 1995 apparently):

As both John Entwistle and Billy Preston are no longer alive, it must have been a while ago.

And here is “Six O’Clock”, not a hit, but I like it:

I have found an interesting connection with Ringo Starr: a fellow (earlier) graduate of Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand, the late Dave Jordan, wrote one of the songs on his 1976 album “Rotogravure”.
