Ringo StarrCan you believe it? Ringo Starr celebrates his 75th birthday today! How did he celebrate? By holding his annual “Peace and Love” celebration at the home of The Beatles in America, The Capitol Records Tower.

How do we at Keener 13.com celebrate?  By sharing favorite Ringo/Beatles video!  And let’s kick it off, with Paul’s surprise appearance at Ringo’s 70th birthday party.  And what a moment when they share a hug after the song!

Next up, a drummer’s all-star salute to Ringo, specially produced for his recent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. (Caution: Some adult language, not suitable for office viewing)

And last but not least, Live on the BBC and in all it’s 52 year-old glory, Ringo’s take on The Shirelles’ smash “Boys”.

A final thought. The Beatles’ producer Sir George Martin is quoted as having said “I didn’t need a drum machine, I had Ringo”.

Happy Birthday, Peace and Love.
