Ringo Starr says one Beatles song 'ruined his career' and fans are divided
Ringo Starr has opened up about the one Beatles song he believes 'ruined his career' - and it's all down to a track written by John Lennon for his son Julian.
Ringo Starr has confessed there's one Beatles song that's always made him nervous - John Lennon's track Good Night.
The song, written for John's five year old son Julian, was the closing track on the 1968 album, The Beatles, and featured Ringo on vocals.
However, the drummer wasn't thrilled with the song, recalling, "They ruined my whole career when they gave me Good Night. I wanted to be a rocker. A lot of it was John or whoever wrote it saying, 'Well, you do this one Ringo.'"
Despite his reservations, Ringo acknowledged that his fellow Beatles thought he could bring something special to the song, saying, "They'd written it and they felt I could present that in a great way which was a nice feeling."
He also credited Paul McCartney with helping his career. "I thank Paul you know because I'm on tour because I do A Little Help from My Friend.
