Ringo Starr "It Don't Come Easy"
Richard Starkey, MBE (born 7 July 1940 in Liverpool, England), known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English popular musician, singer and actor, best known as the drummer of The Beatles.[1] He was the oldest and shortest member of the band, and the last one to join the now familiar "Fab Four" line-up.[1]

"It Don't Come Easy" is a song released as an Apple Records single by Ringo Starr in April 1971, reaching #4 in both the UK and US singles charts. It was Starr's first solo single after the breakup of The Beatles.
Starr reportedly composed the song in 1970. Decades later, he admitted that George Harrison "co-wrote" the song (as he did with other hits such as "Photograph"). But controversy still surrounds the assertion that Ringo really wrote the complex and mature song--especially since demo tapes have surfaced by Harrison where Ringo is completely absent and the song is more or less in its final form.
