Before Starr became a part of the famous four-piece band from Liverpool, he started his musical journey by joining several bands such as Eddie Clayton and the Clayton Squares, and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. After leaving the Hurricanes, John Lennon asked him to be part of the Beatles in 1962.
With the success of the Beatles, songs such as Yellow Submarine, Love Me Do, A Hard Day's Night, and Let It Be spawned. After Lennon quitted the band, Starr released two albums in 1970. At the same time, he played drums in John Lennon and George Harrison's solo albums.
