Ringo’s first solo Top 40 hit- and a song I love- recently when I did my Beatles Solo Songs Top 60 list- “It Don’t Come Easy” came in at #4.
i know he always got some stick, but Ringo’s solo stuff , I enjoy every bit as much as that of the other Beatles. (Yes – even Back off Boogaloo!.):)
This one really stands out with me too, among the Beatles solo hits. I would have ranked it as high as you did.
A good one…heard it a few days ago & it still sounded fresh.
