Sir Richard Starkey MBE aka Ringo Starr
Happy 82nd Birthday ! ... Born: July 7, 1940
A very underrated drummer/musician.

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

He was being passed over for inclusion in the R&R Hall of Fame as a single musician (he was already in as a Beatle) When Sir Paul made the phone call. Now he is in.
I enjoyed him and his gang known as "The All Star Band" some years ago. Got to see Billy Preston and Mark Farner, who were members of his group at the time. GREAT SHOW!
After the open air concert and taking a few friends home, my wife and I went to a nearby grocery store that was just down the road from the resort where the concert was held. At the store we ran into Ringo himself!! I got to shake his hand and compliment his fine performance in person!!
