Ringo Starr Life

Sir Richard Starkey (born 7 July 1940), also known as Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer, singer, songwriter, and actor who rose to international prominence as The Beatles' drummer.

He performed lead vocals with the group on certain albums, including "With a Little Help from My Families," "Yellow Submarine," "Good Night," "Boys," and their interpretation of "Act Naturally."

He also wrote and performed "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus' Garden" and "What Goes On" and "What Goes On" and "What Goes On" and "Don't Pass Me By," and is listed as a co-writer of other works, including "What Goes On." During childhood, the actor was afflicted with life-threatening illnesses, and he fell behind in class as a result of continued hospitalizations.

He worked with British Rail for a short time before beginning an apprenticeship as a machinist at a Liverpool equipment manufacturer.

He became involved in the UK skiffle craze shortly after and acquired a ferocious love for the subject.

He co-founded his first band, the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group, in 1957, which attracted many prestigious local bookings before the fad succumbed to American rock and roll by early 1958.

Early life

Richard Starkey was born on 7th July 1940 at 9 Madryn Street in Dingle, an inner-city suburb of Liverpool. He is Richard Starkey (1913-1981) and Elsie Gleave (1914–1987), the only child of confectioners Richard Starkey (1913–1981) and Elsie Gleave (1914–1987). Elsie loved singing and dancing, a pastime she shared with her husband and a diehard fan of swing. The couple had spent a majority of their free time on the local ballroom circuit prior to their son's birth, but their regular outings came soon after his birth. Elsie took an overprotective route to raising her son, which went beyond fixation. "Big Ritchie," as Starkey's father was identified, lost interest in his children and instead spent long hours drinking and dancing in pubs, often for several days.

His family moved to another suburb in the Dingle's Admiral Grove in 1944; shortly after, his parents separated, and the couple divorced within a year. Starkey later admitted that he had "no authentic memories" of his father, who made no attempt to connect with him, and he returned to visit as few as three times as a result. Elsie found it difficult to survive on thirty shillings a week, so she took on several menial jobs as a barmaid for a year.

Starkey was diagnosed with appendicitis at the age of six. He had peritonitis following a routine appendectomy, causing him to be confined to a coma for days. He stayed away from his family at Liverpool's Myrtle Street children's hospital for a year. His mother encouraged him to stay at home after his son was discharged in May 1948, causing him to miss school. He was still an infantile at eightety, with a poor understanding of mathematics. His lack of education contributed to a sense of alienation at school, which culminated in him regularly playing truant at Sefton Park. Starkey had nearly matched his classmates academically in two years, but by 1953, he contracted tuberculosis and was admitted to a sanatorium, where he stayed for two years. During his stay, the medical staff continued to promote motor fitness and reduce boredom by urging their patients to join the hospital band, resulting in his first introduction to a percussion unit, a cotton bobbin made from a cotton bobbin that he used to strike the cabinets next to his bed. He became more interested in drumming shortly after, receiving a copy of Alyn Ainsworth's "Bedtime for Drums" as a convalescence gift from Crawford. "I was in the hospital band,... That's where I started playing." I never expected anything else from there.... My grandparents gave me a mandolin and a banjo, but I didn't want them. A harmonica was given to me by my grandfather, but there was no such thing as a piano. "It's only the drums."

Starkey attended St Silas, a Catholic secondary school near his house, where his classmates dubbed him "Lazarus" and later Dingle Vale Secondary Modern School, where he displayed an affinity for art and drama as well as practical subjects such as mechanics. He fell behind his peers academically and was ineligible for the 11-plus qualifying exam that is mandatory for attendance at a grammar school as a result of the prolonged hospitalizations. On April 17, 1954, Starkey's mother married Harry Graves at the registry office in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool. Following the breakdown of his first marriage, he had moved to Liverpool. Graves, an ardent supporter of big band music and their singers, introduced Starkey to Dinah Shore's, Sarah Vaughan, and Billy Daniels' recordings. Graves said that he and "Ritchie" never had a traumatic exchange; Starkey later wrote: "He was fantastic... he was fantastic." "I learned gentleness from Harry." Following Starkey's return from tuberculosis, he did not return to school, preferring instead to sit at home and watch music while playing along by beating biscuit tins with sticks.

Starkey's upbringing, according to Beatles biographer Bob Spitz, was "a Dickensian chronicle of misfortune." "poorly ventilated, postage-stamp-size... patched together by crumbling plaster walls, with a rear door that led to an outhouse." Crawford wrote: "He was a member of an ongoing struggle to survive." The children who lived in Prince's Park spent a significant portion of their time outdoors, fleeing the soot-filled atmosphere of their coal-fuelled neighborhood. People living in one of Liverpool's oldest and poorest inner-city districts had a constant fear of violent crime, which added to their difficult circumstances. Later, Starkey said, "You kept your head down, your eyes open, and you didn't want to get in anyone's way."

Starkey returned to the sanatorium in late 1955, but his first attempts at gainful work were unsuccessful; he was lacking in motivation and discipline. He briefly worked with British Rail in an attempt to get him some warm clothes, but with an employer-issued suit. He was sold with a hat but not a uniform, and because he was unable to pass the physical examination, he was dismissed and given unemployment insurance. He soon found work as a waiter on a day boat traveling from Liverpool to North Wales, but he had to leave the service due to his fear of conscription into military service, not wanting to give the Royal Navy the impression that he was suited for seafaring duties. Graves was granted a role as an apprentice machine operator at Henry Hunt and Son, a Liverpool school equipment manufacturer, in mid-1956. Starkey befriended Roy Trafford, and the two became close as a result of their common interest in music while at the hospital. Trafford introduced Starkey to the skiffle, and the young artist became a devoted fan.

Personal life

Mauryen Cox, a hairdresser, first appeared in 1962, the same week he joined the Beatles. In February 1965, the two were married. Brian Epstein, the Beatles' assistant and Starr's stepfather, was on hand. The Chicklettes' novelty song "Reserve Him Tender, Mauleen" was about their marriage. The couple had three children: Zak (born 13 September 1965), Jason (born 19 August 1967) and Lee (born 11 November 1970). Starr purchased Lennon's home in Berkshire in 1971 and moved his family there. Following Starr's repeated infidelities, the pair divorced in 1975. Maureen died of leukaemia at the age of 48 in 1994.

Barbara Bach was interviewed on film Caveman in 1980 and then married at Marylebone Town Hall on April 27, 1981. On the birth of Tatia Jayne Starkey, he became the first of the Beatles to become a grandfather in 1985. Zak is also a drummer, and he spent time with the Who's Keith Moon during his father's regular absences; he's appeared with his father on several All-Starr Band tours. There are eight grandchildren from Zak, three from Jason, and three from Lee. He was the first Beatle to become a great-grandfather in 2016.

In Cranleigh, Los Angeles, and Monte Carlo, the actor and Bach split their time between home and school. He appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List 2011 at number 56, with an estimated personal wealth of £150 million. He was considered to be the world's richest drummer in 2012. Starr announced in 2014 that his 200-acre Surrey farm at Rydinghurst was up for auction, as well as its Grade II-listed Jacobean home. However, he owns a house off King's Road in London's Chelsea district, and he and Bach continue to divide their time between London and Los Angeles.

Starr and Bach auctioned some of their personal and professional possessions in Los Angeles in December 2015. The set included Starr's first Ludwig Black Oyster Pearl drum kit, instruments gifted to him by Harrison, Lennon, and Marc Bolan, as well as a first-pressing copy of the Beatles' White Album numbered "0000001." The auction raised over $9 million, a portion of which was set aside for the Lotus Foundation, a charity established by Starr and Bach.

Starr expressed his displeasure with the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union in 2016. "I thought the European Union was a good idea," he said, "but I didn't see it going anywhere lately." "To be in charge of your own country is a good move," he said in 2017.

Starr was first named in the Pandora Papers in October 2021, implying that a clandestine financial deal of politicians and celebrities was forged by tax havens in an attempt to avoid the payment of outstanding taxes.

The starr is a vegetarian who meditates every day. "peace and love" is his catchphrase and life's motto.

Ringo Starr Career

Solo career

Shortly before McCartney's resignation from the Beatles in April 1970, he and Starr were left disappointed, owing to McCartney's refusal to give the release date of his debut, Sentimental Journey, and Beatles' Let It Be. Quincy Jones, Maurice Gibb, George Martin, and McCartney's album, which consisted of musical arrangements by Quincy Jones, Maurice Gibb, George Martin, and McCartney, reached number seven in the United Kingdom and number 22 in the United States, and number 22 in the United States. With the country-inspired Beaucoups of Blues, engineered by Scotty Moore and starring well-known Nashville session musician Pete Drake, the star followed Sentimental Journey. Despite positive reviews, the album was a commercial failure. The actor then combined his musical interests with the development of his film career.

Ono's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970), and Harrison's album "All Things Must Pass (1970) and Dark Horse (1974). In 1971, Starr appeared in the Concert for Bangladesh, arranged by Harrison, and he co-wrote the hit song "It Don't Come Easy," which reached number four in both the United States and the United Kingdom. "Back Off Boogaloo" (again produced and co-written by Harrison), the country's most popular UK hit, debuted the following year, ranked second (US number nine). Starr made his directorial debut with the 1972 T. Rex documentary Born to Boogie, having become friends with English singer Marc Bolan.

In 1973 and 1974, Starr had two number one hits in the United States: "Photograph," a UK number eight co-written with Harrison, and "You're Sixteen," written by the Sherman Brothers. "You're Sixteen," the singer's third million-selling single in the United States, debuted in the United Kingdom in February 1974, where it ranked at number four. Both songs appeared on Starr's debut rock album, Ringo, starring more Harrison contributions, as well as a song each from Lennon and McCartney. The LP's success was also reflected in "Oh My My My," a US number five. The album debuted at number seven in the United Kingdom and at number two in the United States, ranked second in the UK and number two in the United States. Ringo is a model for Starr's solo career, according to author Peter Doggett, "he'll rely on his friends and his charisma first rather than a songwriter, and if both are on target."

Goodnight Vienna began in 1974 and was a hit in the United States and the number 30 in the United Kingdom, assuaging them to number eight in the United States and number 30 in the United Kingdom. The album featured Lennon, Elton John, and Harry Nilsson's "Only You (And You Alone)", a top-ten hit and the Platters' "You Are Not Yourself"), which peaked at number six in the United States and number 28 in the United Kingdom, and Hoyt Axton's "No No Song," which reached number six and number 28 in the United Kingdom, as well as Hoyt Axton's seventh top-ten, as well as well-listed, including Lennnnnnnnnnnnon John and Harry Nilsson's "And You Alone) &Tauditionalon &You Alone) on a &You (And You (And You (And You Alone) and number 28 in the United Kingdom and number 28 and number 28 in the United Kingdom and No. However, the Elton John-written "Snookeroo" failed to chart in the United Kingdom. During this time, Starr became intimate with Lynsey de Paul. He performed tambourine on a song she wrote and produced for Vera Lynn, "Don't You Remember When," and he inspired another De Paul song, "If I Don't Get You the Next One Will," which she described as being about revenge after he missed a dinner date with her because he was asleep in his office.

In 1975, the singer founded Ring O' Records. Between 1975 and 1978, the company signed eleven artists and released fifteen singles and five albums, including works by David Hentschel, Graham Bonnet, and Rab Noakes. Starr's personal career suffered over the same time in a row, but the public eye remained a familiar celebrity presence. "Not] taking enough interest" in music, he said of himself and colleagues, such as Nilsson and Keith Moon: "We weren't musicians dabbling in opioids and alcohol back in 2001." The Hollywood Vampires, actor Nilsson and Moon, were members of a party.

Starr and the designer Robin Cruikshank operated ROR, a furniture and interior design firm from the 1960s to the mid-1980s. In Harvey Nichols and Liberty of London, ROR's designs were available in department stores. The company designed the interiors of palaces in Abu Dhabi and Oman, as well as the apartments of Paul Raymond and Starr's friend Nilsson.

Starr appeared at the Band's farewell concert in November 1976, which was included in Martin Scorsese's film The Last Waltz. Starr also published Ringo's Rotogravure in 1976, the first publication under his new deal with Atlantic Records for the North American market and Polydor for all other territories. Arif Mardin produced the album, which also included Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison's works. The celebrity boosted the debut, but Rotogravure and its accompanying singles failed to chart in the United Kingdom. The LP released "A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll" (number 26) and a preview of "Hey!" in the United States. Baby" (number 74), a company that sells moderately, has achieved modest profits, resulting in a chart position of 28. Its disappointing results inspired Atlantic to reimagine Starr's formula; the result was a blend of disco and 1970s pop, Ringo the 4th (1977). The album failed to chart in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 162 in the United States, but it reached its high point in the United States. Bad Boy, which debuted in the United States at number 129, reached number 129 in the United States and fell again on the UK charts chart in 1978.

Starr became seriously ill with intestinal problems related to his childhood bout of peritonitis, and was admitted to Monte Carlo's Princess Grace Hospital. He almost died, but several feet of intestine had to be removed during an operation on April 28. He appeared with McCartney and Harrison at Eric Clapton's wedding three weeks later. On November 28, a fire sparked his Hollywood home and a significant amount of his Beatles memorabilia.

Starr and Barbara Bach died in Surrey, England, on May 19, 1980.

Harrison rewritten the lyrics of a song he had written for Starr, "All Those Years Ago," in honor of their former bandmate. The track, which featured Starr's drum parts and overdubbed backing vocals by McCartney, peaked at number two on the US charts and number 13 in the United Kingdom, and was ranked as a Harrison single in 1981. Later this year, Starr released Stop and Smell the Roses, a collection of songs by Nilsson, McCartney, Harrison, Ronnie Wood, and Stephen Stills. The album's lead single, "Wrack My Brain," reached number 38 in the United States charts, but it didn't chart in the United Kingdom. Lennon had a pair of songs for inclusion on the album, "Nobody Told Me" and "Life Begins at 40," but the singer did not feel confident recording them after his death. Barbara Bach, Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, and his brother Barbara Bach travelled to New York City soon after the assassination of Lennon.

Starr's recording projects were plagued with difficulties after the Stop and Smell the Roses. Joe Walsh, the producer of Old Wave, was unable to find a record company willing to release the album in the United Kingdom or the United States after finishing it in 1982. In 1987, he canceled sessions in Memphis for a proposed country album, produced by Chips Moman, but Moman was forbidden from recording them due to a court injunction. The starr narrated Thomas & Friends, a British Allcroft production based on the Reverend W. Awdry's books. In 1989, Starr also portrayed Mr.'s character.' Conductor in the American Thomas & Friends spin-off, Shining Time Station.

On the album "Sun City," Starr performed with his son Zak as part of Artists United Against Apartheid, and Harrison and Eric Clapton were among the special guests on Carl Perkins' speciality Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session. He appeared in Godley & Creme's original video clip for the song in 1987 and played drums on Harrison's Beatles pastiche "When We Was Fab." Starr appeared alongside Harrison, Clapton, Jeffrey Lynne, and Elton John in a London concert for the Prince's Trust charity in the same year. In January 1988, he attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York, with Harrison and Ono, the former representing Lennon, to acknowledge the Beatles' induction into the Hall of Fame.

Starr and Bach attended a detox clinic in Tucson, Arizona, during which they were given a six-week break from alcoholism. "I've lost, absolute years," he later wrote about his long-term heroin use: "Years I've lost, years" he said. I have no idea what happened. I was in a blackout. Since embracing sobriety, actor Tom Waite concentrated on re-establishing his career by returning to touring for the first time. Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band performed in Dallas, Texas, on July 23, 1989, for the first time. The band consisted of Starr and a group of musicians who had been active in their own right at various times, setting a pattern that would persist over the coming decades. The concerts combined Starr's singing, as well as selections of his Beatles and solo songs, with live performances of each of the other artists' well-known songs, with some of the latter incorporating either Starr or another artist as drummer.

Ringo Starr and His All-Star Band (1990), a collection of live performances from 1989, was released as a result of the first All-Starr tour. In 1990, Starr released an adaptation of "I Call Your Name" as part of a television special commemorating John Lennon's birth and the 50th anniversary of Lennon's birth. Lynne's album focuses on Lynne Petty, Joe Walsh, and Jim Keltner.

Starr appeared on "Brush with Greatness" in the Simpsons and contributed "You Never Know" to the John Hughes film Curly Sue's soundtrack. Time Takes Time, which was produced by Phil Ramone, Don Was, Lynne, and Peter Asher, and numerous actors including Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson, released his first studio album in nine years, including Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson. The album's commercial success slowed, although the single "Weight of the World" hit number 74 in the United Kingdom, marking his first appearance on the singles chart since "Only You" in 1974.

He began a correspondence with the surviving members of the Beatles Anthology project in 1994. They produced two new Beatles songs based on Lennon's solo vocal and piano tapes, as well as lengthy interviews about the Beatles' career. "Free as a Bird," the first new Beatles single since 1970, was released in December 1995. They released "Real Love" in March 1996, their second single. When Harrison declined to participate in the completion of a new project, the temporary reunion came to an end. On McCartney's 1997 album Flaming Pie, the star then played drums. "Little Willow" was a song McCartney wrote about Starr's ex-wife Maureen, who died in 1994, among the first official launches to McCartney–Starkey.

He had two albums on the Mercury label in 1998. Vertical Man was the start of a nine-year collaboration with Mark Hudson, who produced the album and formed the backbone for the project's backing band. In addition, many well-known guests performed on various platforms, including Martin, Petty, McCartney, and Harrison in his last appearance on a Starr album, Harrison. The bulk of the songs were written by Starr and the band. Joe Walsh and the Roundheads appeared on VH1 Storytellers, which was released as an album under the same name. During the show, he performed the best hits and new songs as well as anecdotes relating to them. The 1999 Christmas-themed I Wanna Be Santa Claus was the star of the series's last Mercury release. The album was a commercial failure, but the record company chose not to release it in the United Kingdom.

In 2002, the starr was inducted into the Perpetutive Arts Society Hall of Fame, alongside Buddy Rich, William F. Ludwig Sr., and William F. Ludwig Jr. at the Concert for George in London, London. Early in the year, he released Ringo Rama, which featured a song he co-wrote as a salute to Harrison, "Never Without You." He formed Pumkinhead Records with All-Star Band member Mark Hudson in 2003. The label was not prolific, but Liam Lynch, who made a 2003 album called Fake Songs, was their first signing.

During the London stop in Father Christmas' annual Christmas Eve journey, the actor appeared as an honorary Santa Tracker and voice-over actor in 2003 and 2004, as shown in the annual NORAD tracks Santa program. He was "a Star of the east" who helped with the North American Aerospace Defense Command's Santa-tracking program, according to NORAD officials.

Choose Love, his 2005 debut, eschewed the star-guests approach to his last two studio albums, but it failed to chart in the United Kingdom or the United States. Liverpool's City Council revealed plans to demolish 9 Madryn Street, citing "no historical importance" in the previous year. The LCC later reported that the building would be largely demolished brick by brick and preserved.

In January 2008, the artist released Liverpool 8 as the European Capital of Culture, coinciding with the start of Liverpool's year as the European Capital of Culture. Hudson was the first producer of the album, but after a falling out with Starr, he was replaced by David A. Stewart. At the opening ceremony for Liverpool's appointment, the actor performed the title track but then stirred controversy over his apparently unflattering remarks about his hometown city of birth. He was the object of further public outrage in the media for a video on his website in which he harrassed followers and autograph seekers for giving him stuff to sign later this year.

He reunited with McCartney at the David Lynch Foundation's "Change Begins Within" benefit concert in April 2009, which was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Starr performed "With a Little Help from My Friends" and other songs ahead of his own set. During Microsoft's June 2009 E3 press conference with Yoko Ono, McCartney, and Olivia Harrison to promote The Beatles: Rock Band video game, the actor appeared on-stage.

Starr self-produced and released his fifteenth studio album, Y Not, which featured the track "Walk with You" and featured McCartney's vocal contribution. He appeared at Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief as a celebrity phone operator later this year. He performed his 70th birthday at Radio City Music Hall on July 7, 2010, topped by friends and family, including Ono, his son Zak and McCartney.

For the 2011 tribute album Listen to Me: Buddy Holly, the star produced a cover of Buddy Holly's "Think It Over" by the actress. Ringo 2012, a songwriter from January 2012, was released in January 2012. He revealed that his All-Starr Band would tour the Pacific Rim in 2013 with select dates in New Zealand, Australia, and Japan; this was his first appearance in Japan since 1996, as well as his debut in both New Zealand and Australia.

Starr joined McCartney in Los Angeles for a special performance of "Queenie Eye" in January 2014, where they performed the song "Queenie Eye" during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. He toured Canada and the United States with a new Twelfth All-Star Band, which featured multi-instrumentalist Warren Ham rather than saxophonist Mark Rivera. In July, Starr became involved in "#peacerocks," an anti-violence campaign launched by fashion designer John Varvatos in collaboration with the David Lynch Foundation. He received the GQ Men of the Year Award in September 2014 for his charitable work with the David Lynch Foundation.

In January 2015, Starr posted the title of his latest studio album Postcards from Paradise. The album was released on March 31, 2015 to mixed to glowing feedback just a few weeks ahead of Starr's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Starr and his band announced a new Summer 2016 Tour of the United States later this month. In Syracuse, complete production began in June 2016.

Starr released "Give More Love" as a single on July 7, 2017, the singer's 77th birthday. The collection features appearances by McCartney, as well as former collaborators such as Joe Walsh, David A. Stewart, Gary Nicholson, and members of the All-Star Band.

Starr confirmed on September 13th that his 20th album, What's My Name, will be released by UMe on October 25, 2019. Roccabella West, a Los Angeles musician, recorded the album in his home studio.

Starr arranged a livestreamed concert on July 20, 2020, honoring many of his colleagues and collaborators, including McCartney, Walsh, Ben Harper, Dave Grohl, Sheila E., and Willie Nelson. The show brought back the annual public birthday celebration at the Capitol Records Building, which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Here's to the Nights" was released by Starr on December 16, 2020. On December 18, a accompanying video was released. Diane Warren's song of peace, love, and marriage was written by her and includes a group of his friends, including McCartney, Joe Walsh, Corinne Bailey Rae, Sheryl Crow, Finneas, Dave Grohl, Kevin Burke, Sheryl Crow, Finneas, Finneas, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Moses Lewis, Chris Stapleton, and Yola. The song was the lead single from his EP Zoom In, which was released on March 1921 via UMe.

In an interview with Esquire on Sunday, Starr said it was unlikely that he would record another full-length album and instead release EPs. He published EP Change the World on September 24, a follow-up to the previous EP Zoom Input.

Starr confirmed on February 7, 2022, that he would return to touring with his band for the first time since 2019. The tour was scheduled to run from 27 May to June 26, but several concerts held in June would be postponed until October due to two members of the band's COVID-19 experience. These postponed activities were added to the band's previously announced fall tour, which would take place in September and October. He postponed a concert at the Four Winds New Buffalo casino due to an unspecified illness that harmed his voice. Another concert was scheduled at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel the following day was postponed. After several shows in Canada were postponed, it was announced that Starr had tested positive for COVID-19 on October 3rd.

Film career

Critical and film industry professionals have lauded his acting; director and producer Walter Shenson has described him as "a natural actor." Starr had become a film connoisseur by the mid-1960s. Rather than his appearances in A Hard Day's Night (1964), he's a narrator. (1965), Magical Mystery Tour (1967) and Let It Be (1970), Starr also appeared in Candy (1968), Dracula (1974), and Caveman (1981). Larry the Dwarf appeared in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels in 1971 and was included in Harry Nilsson's animated film The Point. He co-starred in That'll Be the Day (1973) as a Teddy Boy and appeared in The Last Waltz, a Martin Scorsese documentary film about the Band's 1976 farewell concert.

In Ken Russell's Lisztomania (1975) and a fictionalized version of himself in McCartney's "Gift to Broad Street" in 1984, the actor appeared as the Pope. In Ringo (1978), an American-made television comedy film loosely based on The Prince and the Pauper, the actor appeared as himself and a downtrodden alter-ego Ognir Rrats. The Kids Are Alright, The Kid In The People Are Alright, The Kids Are Alright starr appeared in interview segments with fellow drummer Keith Moon for the 1979 documentary film The Kids Are Alright.
