This piece looks back at Ringo Starr's 1973 solo album *Ringo*, highlighting how his former Beatles bandmates John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison each contributed songs, marking one of the closest things to a Beatles reunion after the band's split. The album's blend of star-studded songwriting and slick production helped make it a commercial and creative highlight of Starr's solo career.

Lennon wrote and sang backing vocals on "I'm The Greatest", with Harrison on guitar and Starr on drums, joined by Billy Preston and Klaus Voorman. McCartney, who avoided that session, still featured elsewhere, mimicking a kazoo on "You're Sixteen" and co-writing the ballad "Six O'Clock" with wife Linda. Harrison was the most involved, contributing "Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond)" and co-writing the hit "Photograph" with Starr, which producer Richard Perry gave a lush, Wall of Sound-style treatment featuring Bobby Keys on saxophone.
