John Lennon Was 'At His Most Relaxed With Ringo,' According to Cynthia Lennon

John Lennon had a unique relationship with each of the Beatles members, as noted in the memoir John. That includes Ringo Starr who, according to Cynthia Lennon, often had the songwriter “in stitches with his jokes.”With Ringo Starr added as the final member of the Beatles, this band became the source of Beatlemania. John Lennon was even writing music before that, as part of the Quarrymen. Around the same time, he began a relationship with classmate Cynthia Lennon (then Cynthia Powell).

In her memoir John, Cynthia Lennon described her life adjacent to the Beatles. That includes her perspective on the band’s friendships.

“John’s relationship with each of the other Beatles was different,” Lennon wrote. “He was at his most relaxed with Ringo, who often had him in stitches with his jokes. He treated George with the mix of fondness and disdain as he might have shown a younger brother.”

The age difference was particularly noticeable when Harrison made music with Lennon and McCartney for the Quarrymen. He was a teenager when he first met Cynthia Lennon, with the celebrity describing him as a “kid who tagged along.”
