Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy (HQ) |TOTP 29-04-1971|

[hehmtube]

That's a classic ski-doo

[TheAlsatianLover]

That cold air's gonna put that piano horribly outta tune...

[gemmm182]

I absolutely love this! Am I alone in thinking that Ringo looks sexy here?!

[rockyjnr10]

Wot instruments is he playing????

[Zelomeisterdude]

You know, this may be the best solo Beatle "RECORDING" ever. I love the arrangement and mix, a good Phil Spector-type sound and Ringo's vocal. And that tight little slide solo by George Harrison, who also produced this single. I especially LOVE the horn riff at the end of each vocal line in the chorus. The whole sound of this single is delicious!

[mcqueen5]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!

[tytwist]

Love this song. Cheers TyT

[EEKoofCLUNK]

i never heard this beatles song/ awesome!!!!!!!!

[only12c]

@EEKoofCLUNK .....This is not a Beatles song, the Beatles never released it. This is a solo effort by Ringo

[EEKoofCLUNK]

@only12c kay i didnt know that/thx!!

[BernardHChrist]

Basically the only good solo song Ringo did. But what a corker it is.

[THECountZakula]

Well..you see......it's a spoof...it's just a fookin' spoof you see....what of all of it all, you've got to make a bleeding film or something so fook it all...it's a bleeding fooking spoof is all ... and the bleeding fooking wreckord coompani ...well ...you know...that MTV stoof and all.......bleeding fooking hell....ya know...if you don't like it well............

[sunboy1000]

I loved the 70's

[DazeofOctober]

GREAT SONG, and you said it, Ringo! It don't come easy!

[TedEBungfritz]

NIce!

[lilynick1]

liked this one the first time I ever heard it! :)

[cozener1]

The Hare Krishna chant from George Harrison sort of gives it away Ringo!

[frank02111]

how cold is it ?

[solo54404]

Até hoje,ainda existem idiotas que acham que o RINGO era apenas um mediocre baterista colocado lá apenas para fazer numero. Quando o time é bom, até o goleiro faz gol

[Taggerung12]

How is he supposed to play the piano with huge furry mittens on? XD oh, well. Epic song. Minor technicalities. :)

[jukingeo]

@Taggerung12 LOL, I was wondering about that too. Another peculiarity is that the aerial shots of Ringo at the piano show his chair and the piano on wood slats, whereas the side shot shows the piano and chair placed directly on the snow. Soooo, what is up with that? Anyhoo, excellent song, one of my favorites when I was growing up.

[kbcb87]

that is badfinger singing back up

[drumrrroll]

The perfect drum fill @ 0.37

IN RINGO WE TRUST

[pagefire2]

My favorite post Beatles song..and it's Ringo!

[uteanatinny]

It's a Starkey/ Harrison composition. You can even hear George's wails in the lead. Love it, it's great stuff! :-R

[redletter2008]

@uteanatinny George also produced the song and graced it with his fine guitar work. I like Ringo, but I am betting this was a lot more George's song than Ringo's (Photograph also). Ringo goes from Octopus' Garden to this? But George going from Something to this is more than believable. Just a wonderful song. Love the friendship that Ringo and George had - never wavering, always strong and true and producing some great music in the process.

[2100Rose]

Best one he ever done . Very meaningful . Even better than his cover version of "You'r Sixteen" .

[Ashleyx14x]

Ringo 4 Prez

[Nuerth]

This was released just after the Beatles formally broke up & as for a band Ringo always has fun with his projects ~

His first Solo Album "STARR" had all of the Beatles on it although on separate tracks making it his first,but the last album with all 4 Beatles

[MaceMn]

I remember the Bombardier Ski-Doo 8hp snowmobile we had when I was a kid back in the 60's. Though it only maxed out at about 30mph, it was great fun for an 8 year old.

[jasonwheel]

how about that old fashioned snowmobile. now is that something or what?

[cromwellj]

Give him a break guys, this was 10 years and 4 months before MTV and all the glitz and glamor. Most "videos" then were just concert footage. Besides, he did have a band, sort of. George helped and rumors were Paul was there also.

[Notringo2000]

Hey Ringo's just released a solo record! Lets get him on Top of the Pops! Naw, it was all done in the studio, he has no band. No problem, just tell him to do a zany montage .. something like they did for the movie, 'Help'. It'll be GREAT.......

[MrCeej9999]

@Notringo2000

George Harrison wrote this. Cover version

[Xmenfan246]

@Notringo2000 Have you ever heard of Ringo's All-Starr Band?

[DaddyNowhere]

@Xmenfan246 Yeah, I heard of it... but Ringo hadn't even thought of it in 1971. You just missed the joke.

[vordman]

Haven't I seen this fella somewhere else?

[chezzeeX]

Oh this song reminds me of my friends mom,who had the record and used to play it alot when we were kids.

[chezzeeX]

@chezzeeX - Well it was some years later she'd play it coz i would 've been 1year old when it come out.lol

[PONTY30]

bloody ell ringo you will get a chill out there with that piano

[gumper1986]

Good song, but one of the worst music videos in history.

[stevegainesthehero]

one day before i was born in 1971 :D

[MrMetantropo]

RINGO es un gran baterista y gran cantante no interesa quien compuso la letra o musica, las dos versiones son estupendas y los BEATLES GENIOS JUNTOS Y SEPARADOS!!!!!!!!!

[Softrockman]

The best George Harrison song ... ever. but somehow this version is better than his own release.

[Xmenfan246]

"Then I started to write a bit, and I did It Dont Come Easy, Back Off Boogaloo, tracks that George Harrison co-wrote with me. Because Im great at two verses and a chorus, but ending songs is difficult for me. I write a thousand verses and wrapping them up is not the best thing I know how to do.-Ringo

[rbky04]

Ringo Starr rules.

[bananacreampie4]

@rbky04 I agree!

[sludgefingers]

yeah the best Harrisong not released by George - still like this version though.

[Xmenfan246]

@sludgefingers Actually Starr wrote this song with Harrison. They also wrote Photograph together.

[thestevo46]

tony,ringo,yes

[newyorkdaver]

Peace and Love Always.

[7117Nate]

This is the best quality video for this song on youtube!

I love Ringo Starr and this song is his second best song.

#1 - Back Off Boogaloo

[smile4mejmarie]

Ringo, could you drop me some fan mail?

[smile4mejmarie]

Forget about the past and all your sorrorws.............You said it Ringo

[DFoxHope]

@smile4mejmarie Amen to that~! This is what we all need to do-We are so confused with stuff these days' its time to Simplify, Relax, release Renew each day..Let it (whatever IT is to someone) and just not take it back, let it go, Even if ya have to do it a few times~! Feel Freedom & Just Take it easy-it can be if you allow it to~! ♥D

[broomybank]

George Harrison's searing demo of this song was on YT but it's been removed now. It was incredible and much better than this.

[Xmenfan246]

@broomybank I prefer RIngo's version.

[TinaM1177]

Love this video of Ringo Starr skiing and playing Piano in the snow. Please remember peace is how we make it!!!!

Thanks for posting this video!! Love and Peace, Tina
