  • Only one how can realy sing this: The Platters, not this 80s crap... :/

  • @VitalSoX The early '70's, but who's counting?

  • @greenwich1754 What you mean whos counting? The Platters made this song... this man ruined it.

  • @VitalSoX My only point is that you said "not this 80's crap" - Ringo/John recorded this in 1974, & john was dead by the end of 1980. I can't argue that the Platters version is the standard/superior, but I'm a stickler (otherwise known as a pain in the ass) for accuracy. As to superior, it's like all the people who trash (quite severely) the Carpenters cover of "Ticket to Ride" - the Beatles could do no wrong, and the Carpenters were butchers. They both have their merits, imo.

  • Ringo and John I love you! 

  • The Platters, an Afro-American bad-ass band.

    I am truly a fan of their musical and vocal talent.

    In their genre, they were truly excelling.

    Around 50% of The Beatles,Ringo&John, can create a cover, that adds an extra dimension to this, without ignoring the real power of the original song.

    Pure Class.

  • Thanks- great clip

  • It isn't John Lennon in the cap, that is Harry Nilsson.......he was good friends with all the Beatles. 

  • Haha...took me by surprise when I saw John with scruff in a trucker's cap and hoody. Looks like some guy from today, but totally cool. Kinda a little Ashton Kutcher in a way.

  • Fantastic, I tell you Ringo has made and still makes some good records. True his heyday was 71-74 chart hit wise in UK, but so what, he is still a STARR!

  • I believe the back up vocals on ringo's video is none other than the great Harry Nilsson...

  • John's a vampire hunter!

  • I like more the ringo's version

  • john looks a bit jewish in his hat and coat... is that why MDC sh ot him?

  • Can't watch it without crying, when John's voice comes in...

    -SOB-

    <3...

  • helll :o ringo voice its fucking awsome!! just perfect :)

  • John Lennon and Ringo Starr in lead vocals and Harry Nillson on harmony vocals.

    Hell yeah!!!

  • So good stuff... Like sitting in vacation with juice in my hands in front of sea and thinking about my first love... Yes!!!

  • What's with the arrow through Richards head?

  • @Saraheidd

    Well, it fits right in with tons of The Beatles' sense of humor.... it made perfect sense to me.

    ...I hope that doesn't mean I'm insane!

    <3.

  • a talented vocalist. good one, lol.

  • John Lennon absolutely fantastic.

  • What a thrill to hear the unmistakable voice of Lennon! and of course ...Ringo too!

  • I love this song, awesome!

  • @caulinrocker Oh now that's going too far. I love Ringo and thoroughly enjoy his solo records, and I own most of them, but not even I would say that Ringo is a very talented vocalist. If you want to talk actual techniques and the ability of someone as a singer or vocalist, then no I'm afraid the truth is he is kinda crap. The demo versions of Snookeroo and Goodnight Vienna show that they were much better singers than Ringo, but it really doesn't matter.

  • @ManfredDeJesus His range is at least as good as Joe Cocker's. 

  • My dad says the luckiest man alive is big nose Ringo Star...he is a millionaire thru john , Paul and Georges talent...a fukin monkey coulda played drums for The Beatles yet this FAKE asshole with his phoney angloamerican accent acts so arrogant Lol the other 3 R the real genius and DONT act arrogant like this piece of shit . He dissed liverpool...lol where he'd still be on the dole probs if the others never let him join da Beatles ...funny huh

  • @XxpauldadudexX Ringo Starr invented polyrhythms that still inspire other drummers to this day. He is respected by some of the greatest drummers in the world. John, Paul, and George considered him good enough to join the Beatles. Maybe you're jealous because he's rich and talented?

  • @XxpauldadudexX how old are you?

  • @utubeb14 Not 12 like you

  • @XxpauldadudexX you are an ass to say that man. Ringo is cool

  • @XxpauldadudexX

    Tell your ignorant piece of crap dad from me, if that's his opinion of Ringo he knows absolutely fuck all about music.

    People who do know accept that he was actually a really good drummer.

    Your dad can diss him for dissing Liverppool...but not for his drumming.

  • @spacecowboy7580 My dad isnt a ignorant piece of crap u fukin wanker..he's a successful businessman thru' hard work and education...not cuz he acted quirky , had a fuck off massive nose and was lucky to be in a band with da greatest musicians EVER John , Paul n George.

    Dya know NO TALENT Big conk Ringo said to fans last yr..'' Dont ask for my autograf , approach me or bother me..I am not interested..if u want my autograf it's $5 on my fan website '' what a fukin gimp..NOONE under 35 know da twat

  • @XxpauldadudexX

    If he dismisses Ringo like that, then he IS an ignorant piece of crap.

    And all the insults you make about his nose/looks..or comments about what does with fans, will not alter the fact that he is a really good drummer...you describe John Paul and George as the greatest musicians EVER...so do you think they would have stuck with Ringo if he wasn't any good?

    Think about that.

    It's his musical talent I'm interested in, not his looks or private life.

  • @tonytaker 'Eleanor Rigby'

  • what's the name of the song at the begining? :)

  • because i always hear their music, they make me feel like they are still alive, and young

  • that's my man Harry Nilsson singing back-up

  • @kieran514 is he your man? or just A man?

  • @pablodistefano both i suppose. i think he's great.

  • ...I don't like my Ringo with an arrow in his head :(

  • John sounds like Julian - or the other way round.  Ringo sounds like Michael de Angelis - or the other way round.

  • Love Ringo, here's another song you may like, it's called "Buy a Dog" from Luce youtube.com/watch?v=2acYxdU-PO­w

  • >:D Ringo rules, muahahahaha. GO RINGO!

  • @WeedsRaw No, it was written by Buck Ram for a group, "The Platters". It was released in 1955, I believe. This is a version that Lennon cooked up and gave to Ringo. I believe the parts where John is singing is the demo. Anyway, they did not write this, but I like the flavor their arrangement gives to this classic song.

  • this is ringo.... this is magic man

  • Why Eleanor Rugby in the beginning of the song?

  • Ringo, Harry Nillson, and, Lennon, pure magic

  • what year is this from?!

  • This has got to be my "favorite-est" song by Ringo. The voice is sooo sultry, it makes my heart go pitter-pat every time!!!

  • I died. :D

  • Cozy!!!! Ringo the Great....

  • I'v always loved The Platters & The Beatles - I think I first heard them about 12 years ago when I was about 9. Hearing this today was a delight.

  • does anyone know where i can capture the full song of the little clip at the end of "Im only sleeping"?

  • its sounds like they recorded it in two different studios across the country from each other

  • BELISSIMO, AWESOME!!!!! 

  • In response to some of the language used (abused)? am disgusted...

    Seems like certain people behave in such a horrible way, with words.

    Words are so important. Please, let us all take care how we use them...

  • why cant anyone just listen to the song no everyone has to start an argument

  • @thefluffyman2 Right on to that!

  • wasn't Ringo's suit designed by Slash's mom?

  • wasn't Ringo's suit designed by Slash's mom

  • John, you are forever in my heart.

  • is that John with the newspaper in the beginning there?

  • Amygdalin (hydrogen cyanide, benzaldahyde & glu-cose). Amygdalin, as rendered and refined from the pips contained within apricot stones, is known as Laetrile. Amygdalin (vitamin B17) destroys errant trophoblastic/placental/malign­ant growth. One should not allow the healing process to run rampant in the first place. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

  • everyone JUST STOP ARGUING do you really think your ganna change the other persons opinion (wheather you be for God or against him) by writing it on youtube how weak and pathatic just injoy one of the most beautiful songs sung please parden my spelling

  • Was Ringo getting ready to board the space shuttle after singing this song..... Ha

  • @1954batman53 Yeah, hey, I thought everybody knew the Beatles were from outer space. And didn't you see Men in Black...remember Tommy Lee Jones' line.."Elvis isn't dead. He just went home." ~smile~ This is comedy relief,folks, as the discussion seems to have gotten a little heavy. I think John would be sad.

  • Constructive criticism: the switching of obviously different recordings of "Only You" by these two Beatles is very dissonant, since they are obviously not in perfect pitch with each other. And, while the recordings, and associated original music video starring Ringo, are interesting, I still strongly prefer the original version (I forget the group - I just remember their performance in the movie "Rock Around the Clock").

  • Ringo and John where always polar opposites, but they worked perfectly. Ringo's kind, down-to-earth ways complimented John's outspoken and dreamy attitude. Those two where always my favorite Beatles. And I happen to LOVE Ringo's voice. He always sounded like the emotion of the song he was singing.

  • I cant stand these religious idiots always using terms like The Father....I'm a father and if My children did something that infuriated me I would never punish them by sending them to a a fiery Hell to burn for all eternity !!!! Jealous God....Would a being powerful enough to create the universe in 7 day's really be jealous of anything we mere mortals could do He would probably Make himself known and demand respect and worship Muslims believe just as strongly thump your Bible elsewhere

  • Ringo looks extremely good with that hair style. One of the most assertive and yet warmest faces in rock history that always hits somewhere in hour hearts.

  • como se llama la primera cancion que inicia?

  • @cyberfabian69

    Eleonor Rigby.

    Muy buena rolita por cierto =)

  • Ringo is my favorite.

  • I want Ringo's sunglasses! Those are so awesome

  • Tks mow...

    

  • magic all beatles are magic

  • did john and ringo together make this song? or they both covered it nd yur just mixing them together?

  • @nightcrawler511 John recorded it first as a guide for Ringo to sing, then wiped off his vocals. He used to do that for Ringo. For example I think there's even a version of I'm Greatest around with John's guide vocals.

  • John, Harry, and ringo = awesome

  • Only you, :)

  • Where Where Where can I I I download this! :)

    I am addictided to this song, and I can only find the Ringo version!

  • man of mammy...,I so dig this song....knocks me out... those light times....floating...

  • richard could not write all but 2 songs

  • the late great harry Nillson~

  • Comment removed

  • You can hear John's vocal on Ringo's Goodnight Vienna album version at the end during the fade out.

  • I'm guessing Ringo kept this band together longer than they otherwise would have been. Every band needs a Ringo.

  • @OapostropheC i thought it was funny when you said "every band needs a Ringo" haha

  • I wish they recorded this song like this! It would've been my favorite song!

  • This is a great video. Have you seen the brand new tribute song to John Lennon. It's called "Dear John" by Leighton Morrell it's on you tube now, even though the song hasn't been offcially released yet. check it out

  • hey you got it right on the money

  • Funny enaugh, Ringo comes out better then Lennon

  • Is that Harry Nilsson with Ring?

  • John´s version was never meant to be released! It was a demo for Ringo. That´s how they worked all the time.

  • So THAT'S where Steve Martin got the arrow idea!!

  • @greenwich1754 John did this as a guide vocal for Ringo so he would know how it should go.

  • This kicks ass! Great!

  • Actually it is the great Harry Nilsson.

  • Harry Nilsson?

  • Remove the romantic context of the song. YOU ARE NEEDED. ALL OF YOU. ONLY YOU IS FOR EVERYONE banding together for what is right, just, fair. Most people want: World Peace...No War...No Famine...Universal Love...These things shouldn't be treated as dreams otherwise the reality of them will be gone...

  • Wow, there's a couple people who missed the 'Thumbs Up Button' and accidently pressed 'Thumbs Down'

  • I remember this song,,frommy childhood..beacoups of blues right?

  • love this song

  • Ringo: Happy Birthday from Tijuana, cheers!

  • Was that Harry Nilsson singing next to Ringo while Ringo has that arrow through his head? If so, wow!

  • hehe....i love Ringo's sense of humor! the arrow through the head thing and the glasses that have stars on them when they shine were great!! RIP John and George

  • "Ringo" fans.... I hop
