And he put more of a spin on things, imho, than many later standardists, instead of simply going for the straightforward approach already perfected by Sinatra, Bennett, Fitzgerald, etc.
The song became a Big Band standard, with just about every prominent bandleader and singer of the '30s and '40s performing it, making it one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century.
Yep-- before Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, etc. there was Ringo. I believe only Cher tried tackling standards before him, but he put her efforts to SHAME in this instance.
Speaking of "Best drummers", isn't it interesting how Richard never brings up Pete Best in any conversation? As much as I love Ringo, I feel sorry for how Pete was shafted.
Why would he bring up Pete Best? He wasn't the guy who fired him. He was his replacement. It's not Ringo's fault that he was more of a talented drummer.
@Californiway No, I can't say that I do....unfortunately. Ringo has never publicly mentioned anything about Pete Best it would be interesting to hear his opinion on the whole Pete forever Ringo never fiasco back when Richard replaced Pete.
