Episode 84: How Did Ringo’s Career Lose Steam in the Late 1970s?
01:38:10
By the end of the 1970s, Ringo Starr's was a far cry from the success of 1973's "Ringo."

In this episode, we discuss possibilities as to why Ringo's career lost steam as the 70s came to a close. talkmoretalk.com @talkmoretalk1 https://www.facebook.com/talkmoretalkvideocast https://www.youtube.com/c/TalkMoreTalkASoloBeatlesVideocast

To celebrate what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday, we are pleased to welcome Dave Morrell. Beginning as a teen in the 1970s, he amassed such an impressive collection of Beatles memorabilia that when John Lennon heard about it, he promptly asked to meet him. This would begin a series of meetings where Dave would delight John with rare Beatles footage.
Morrell subsequently worked in promotions for several record labels, including Capitol. He not only got to work on a Lennon project, but on Paul McCartney’s Press to Play. We discuss Dave’s friendship with John as well as his latest book, Run-Out Groove: Inside Capitol's 1980s Hits & Stiffs.
