Published on 10/02/2017

Ringo is always the less remembered musician from The Beatles. Ok, it’s hard to compete with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. But he is also talented as those names, and show it on his solo career until today.

He had some major hits like “Back Off Bogaloo”, “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”. But, many other great tracks had been forgotten, like “The Weight Of The World”, from the album “Time Takes Time” from 1992.

Heart it below:

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
