When Ringo was born on July 7, 1940 in Liverpool, his
parents, Richard Starkey and Elsie Gleave decided that
Ringo should be named after his father. But his parents’
marriage did not last and Ringo and his mother had to move
to a smaller house because of financial constraints. His
mother remarried a few years later and Harry Graves became
Ringo’s step father. It was Harry who bought Ringo his

Review about Ringo Starr The Moonbeam song, "Do Harry Neilsons lyrics really matter?" | Reviewer: Stephen Miles
------ About the song The Moonbeam Song performed by Ringo Starr

While I think that harry was a brilliant wordsmith, his extraordinary compositions, especially The Moonbeam Song in my view, stand firmly on there own.
While Ringo did make a hit of this, the song was a top 10 hit back in the late 50's or early 60's, and I think you should acknowledge that. I believe that the artist may have been one of the writers, Bobby Sherman, but I can't vouch for that. In my opinion, he did it better than Ringo sang it.

------ About the song Never Without You performed by Ringo Starr
This song is so sad! Knowing it's for George makes me cry sometimes when I hear it. It's a beautifully written song and Ringo's voice compliments the style of the song. I love how Eric Clapton plays guitar on this one too becuase he was a friend of George's...
This was THE song if you were a teenager in love in the 60's. Whatever happened to the innocence that Ringo sang about???
