Community Answer
Ringo Starr's first song “Boys” released on March 22, 1963.
Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine. His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
