PITTSBURGH — Strange to think about it now, but when Ringo Starr launched Ringo and His All-Starr Band in 1989, he hadn’t been a touring musician since 1966.
The drummer had been in this really good band that only toured for four years before deciding it wasn’t for them and that they were just going to make records.
They were called The Beatles, and it turned out to be a pretty good move because the very next year, they released “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,” which some contend is the greatest album of all time.
