Larry Finnegan :::: The Other Ringo.

John Lawrence Finnegan,better known by his stage name Larry Finnegan (October 10, 1938 -- July 22, 1973) was an American pop singer.
Born in New York, Finnegan's only hit in the U.S. was 1962's "Dear One" (Old Town), which went to #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and climbed to #1 in Australia. The recording had sold one million copies by 1966, earning a gold disc.
In the mid 1960s Finnegan moved to Sweden, where he had more hits. In 1966 he started his own record label SvenskAmerican, which published his own records - for example the singles "Good Morning Tears" and "Bound for Houston" - and also records with the Swedish group Sven-Ingvars. Finnegan recorded several records in Swedish, such as "Maria, min vän" (Maria, my friend) and "Hälsa hem till mamma" (Send your greetings to my mamma) in 1967. After that he moved to Switzerland, and in 1970 back to the United States.
He died of a brain tumor at age 34 in 1973.

@Magryd3344

I'm pleased you enjoyed this one about Ringo Maggan,it's a "send up" of a song about "Ringo the cowboy", from Lorne Green !

Thanks for watching,,,,,,,,,Mick :-)

Outstanding Mick! As an old Beatlemaniac (to this day!) I must say I loved this song video very much! Hadn't heard this Ringo Starr version of this song, of course I remember the Lorne Greene version about a cowboy named Ringo (lol). This was terrific and it's a 'fave' for me! Well done Mick! ...

@allshookup1977

Very many thanks FrAnK for the fave and your kind comments,I had a feeling you would enjoy this one about Ringo,I'm really pleased that you did. There were a lot of sequels to the Lorne Greene song and this one was probably the least successful of them all,so I'm not surprised you haven't heard it before !

Thanks again,cheeers,,,Mick :-))

I hope you & Jan are happy in your new home.
