Wings
‘Wings’ is a song that Ringo first recorded for 1977’s ‘Ringo The 4th’, and while that version has the edge vocally, this new version is better overall.

I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl
Like a bad trip, in this animated video, a bearded Ringo ‘appears’ in a short yellow dress and with a pink ribbon in his hair. Bizarre in the extreme!

Give More Love
Largely a straight performance video, this is the title track for Ringo’s album of the same name. It failed to chart in the UK, and got to No. 128 in the USA.
From 02-06-18 to 29-09-18, Ringo toured Europe and the USA with his 13th All-Starr Band, starring: Steve Lukather (Toto), Colin Hay (Men At Work), Gregg Rolie (Santana/Journey), Graham Gouldman (10cc), Gregg Bissonette and Warren Ham (Bloodrock/Kansas/AD). At the time of writing in spring 2019, Ringo is touring Japan with his 14th All-Starr Band, featuring all of the above with the exception of Graham Gouldman, who is replaced by Hamish Stuart.
Ringo, like Paul, shows no signs of stopping just yet!
