"Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
 And you know it don't come easy.
 You don't have to shout or leap about,
 You can even play them easy.
 
 Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
 The future won't last,
 It will soon be over tomorrow."

-- Ringo Starr (b. 1940-07-07) and George Harrison (b. 1943-02-25, d. 2001-11-29), "It Don't Come Easy" (recorded 1970, released 1971)

"Before Ringo, drum stars were measured by their soloing ability and virtuosity. Ringo's popularity brought forth a new paradigm in how the public saw drummers. We started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect. One of Ringo's great qualities was that he composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs. His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song." -- Steve Smith (b. 1954-08-21) (source) (also quoted on Wikipedia page about Starr)
