Ringo Starr Discovered the Most 'Brilliant' Song He Ever Wrote Was Actually a Bob Dylan Hit

Bob Dylan’s songs have been an important influence on a number of musicians, including The Beatles’ Ringo Starr. All of The Beatles credited Dylan with influencing their music, but Starr took it a step further. His bandmate Paul McCartney told the story of the time Starr spent hours writing a brilliant song. After showing his bandmates, he realized that he had actually copied a Dylan hit. Dylan and The Beatles rose to prominence at roughly the same time, and the band has spoken about how much the American songwriter influenced them. George Harrison was a dedicated fan and would go on to work with Dylan in The Traveling Wilburys. McCartney said that much of his songwriting was influenced by Dylan.
