British drummer and Beatles member Ringo Starr took to Twitter today to talk about his relationship and collaboration with John Lennon, especially during the activities of the Plastic Ono Band, which today launched its collection. Ultimate on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, and many other online platforms.
“Peace and love,” Starr wrote. “The emotion in this recording is incredible, it blows your mind. The austerity of the band, the strength of John Lennon. That is why it is one of the greats. This recording proves it more than most ”.
Starr went on to say that both he and bassist Klaus Voorman played delicately, to give Lennon a chance to really use his voice and emotions, just as he wanted.
“I can’t talk about more of this recording because it has no buts. I think it may have something to do with primal therapy, because there is a lot of screaming in it. That’s the emotional state I think (John) was in at the time. “
John was always brave. He kept to his own business, and the consequences were sometimes very strong. But he stayed. That’s why you couldn’t not love him, you know?

The production was very important for Lennon, who was going through a hard and heavy phase of finding himself, leaving behind much of his childhood and looking for the meaning of life, “like all of us,” said the drummer, who will soon meet 81 years.
“John would sit there and sing,” Starr recalled. “We just practiced, we figured out what to do, and we did it. It was very relaxed, and being a triplet was also a lot of fun. John was the best rhythm guitarist because his guiding style was so pure. Lively. That’s what he was, the rhythm guitar. George led, but John brought the main parts, and they always had a lot of passion. “
Lennon always wanted a lot of echo in his voice. “He had a great voice, and when he sang, he gave it his all. Personally, I don’t feel like he was insecure about his voice. Everybody wants to be different. John was always brave. He kept to his own business, and the consequences were sometimes very strong. But he stayed. That’s why you couldn’t not love him, you know, ”Starr tweeted. “It’s a beautiful recording and he was a beautiful man, and I am privileged that he was my friend.”
About himself, he said that he was more than anything a marker of time, that it was not difficult at all. He covered all his instruments with cloths to achieve a very dry sound. He did few solos, and that his job was to go where John wanted to take him.
Starr also spoke about the relationship between Lennon and his wife, artist Yoko Ono. “They were an incredibly close couple. Just like in song Hold on, Yoko, everything will be fine, they supported each other in that way, musically ”.
