He stood out in "Rory Storm and the Hurricanes." The other Beatles would talk about how he came to be in the band. One time Pete Best couldn't make a show and Ringo stood in. Paul, John and George all looked at each other in amazement because of how well he fit in each song. With songwriting like that, all a drummer can do is fuck it up. He enhanced them. I'm a fan. There was a funny article a while back from a guy that hates Paul. He asserted that the Beatles are dying in reverse order of talent. He finished with, "if I were Ringo, I'd be scared."
