Rare Treat - John Waite Singing With Ringo Starr's AllStarr* Band

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



This is the finest live version of this song I've heard -- it's even better than John Waite's (the writer's and performer's) original from the 1980s, and even better than the Tina Turner version. It's soulful, clean, clear and heartfelt. What a treat.

Thanks, Ringo -- I never made fun of you. Since the movie "A Hard Day's Night," you've been my favorite Beatle. I even know the lyrics to "It Don't Come Easy."

Enjoy this. savor it. It is a moody, but explosively powerful song, with a transparently sarcastic message screaming through the wires (or the Wi-Fi -- say what in Hades ever happened to Hi-Fi and Stereo?). I've got to quit taking that benadryl allergy medication. Jeez.
I feel like Rip Van Dazzle.
