In this episode, we go back into the lab to discuss both sides of Ringo's 1971 single: "It Don't Come Easy" and "Early 1970." The A-side became one of Ringo's biggest hits and most identifiable songs, and the B-side can be seen as an open letter to his bandmates and what he hopes will happen after their breakup. As before, we've made a Spotify playlist that contains most of the cover songs discussed, as well as the two songs under the microscope: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2WfVc1GwfLaDKTHGqobhEB?si=yxz7t8jBTx6eO-RzXIiPGQ Enjoy! ivegotabeatlespodcast@hotmail.com @ivegotabeatles @chrisdbragg Facebook: I've Got A Beatles Podcast
In this episode of The QMC Board & Collar we explore the importance behind your organization remaining compliant in every aspect of its day-to-day operation. In 1973, Ringo Starr had a hit song entitled "It Don't Come Easy." I am certain his motivation for this tune was EMS Compliance, don't you think? Written by: C. HumphreyPresented by: G. Harvat
With RAM sitting high atop the charts, It Don't Come Easy blaring across radios worldwide and the finishing touches being placed on the Imagine album, the summer months of 1971 were bustling with former Beatle activity. Though mocked for its perceived underperformance by George and John, Paul McCartney's second outing was a steady seller that leap-frogged early criticism and seemed to only improve with age, even to this very day. But while a success for Paul was welcome news in the McCartney camp, it was another former Beatle in the summer of '71 that would steal the show...by putting one on. The Concert for Bangladesh was conceived and executed by George Harrison after his friend and mentor Ravi Shankar expressed to George the plight of refugees from war-torn Bangladesh. George was moved by his friend's plea and hastily prepared what was, at the time, an unprecedented benefit concert that included the likes of Eric Clapton, Billy preston, Leon Russell, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, Badfinger, Jesse Ed Davis, Klaus Voorhman and, perhaps most surprisingly of all, Bob Dylan. It was a charitable event that would go on to inspire an entire movement, from Live Aid to Farm Aid and many more in the decades beyond. The spotlight may have been uncomfortable for Harrison, but in the summer of 1971 it was blazing as brightly upon him as the star underneath, and George rose to the occasion.
