Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Billy Preston

The Beatles thought so much of Preston that their 1969 hit "Get Back" gave artist credit as "The Beatles with Billy Preston".

Answer: With A Little Help From My Friends

All Starr concerts are full of audience sing-alongs, but when "A Little Help From My Friends" starts, the whole crowd is standing, clapping and singing every word. It's an experience not to be missed.

3. From 1992 to 1995 what son of a famous drummer handled the primary percussion duties with Ringo's All Starrs?

Answer: Zak Starkey

Ringo plays drums during about 30 per cent of an All Starr Band performance. The primary percussion duties fall to one of the All Starrs. Ringo must have been a proud father when his son, Zak, kept the beat for three tours.

4. What former Humble Pie guitarist joined the All Starr Band for the 1997-98 tour, performing his solo hits "Baby I Love Your Ways" and "Do You Feel Like We Do"?

Answer: Peter Frampton

Frampton's 1976 album "Frampton Comes Alive!" sold over six million copies worldwide.

5. Edgar Winter has played sax, keyboard and percussion in a couple of Ringo's All Starr Bands over the years. In addition to "Free Ride" what monstrous instrumental hit did he perform?

Answer: Frankenstein

Edgar and his brother, Johnny, are one of the most successful sets of siblings in rock & roll. When he performs "Frankenstein" Edgar not only plays keyboard for the body of the song but performs the electronic percussion solo. Pretty impressive.

Answer: You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful You're Mine)

Johnny Burnette's original version was featured in the film "American Graffiti". Ringo's single featured backup vocals by Harry Nilsson and Paul and Linda McCartney. Paul added the kazoo solo.

Answer: Don't Pass Me By

"Don't Pass Me By" has a definite C&W sound and has been recorded by a couple of country artists over the years.

Answer: Procul Harum

There have been many attempts to explain Procul Harum's name. The reality seems to be that their first manager named them after a friend's Burmese cat.

Answer: Paul McCartney

Sadly, George and John didn't survive to celebrate Ringo's 70th. Rory Storm (Alan Caldwell) was the leader of Rory Storm And The Hurricanes, Ringo's pre-Beatles band. He also died young in 1972. At Radio City, Sir Paul walked on stage for the All Starrs' encore and played bass as they performed the Beatles' "Birthday".

Answer: Yellow Submarine

"Yellow Submarine" was conceived by Paul to be Ringo's song on the "Revolver" album. John Lennon helped tweak the lyrics and Donovan Leitch added the line "sky of blue and sea of green."
