Nothing worth having comes easy. Life is a tough trial, and so is love, but it gets better. Push forward. "Use a little love and we will make it work out better."
So is the message from Ringo Starr's first post-Beatles single, produced by George Harrison. It remains one of Ringo's biggest solo hits - and no one expected him to have solo hits. Starting and ending somewhat quietly, the tune gets more bombastic, becoming a beautiful, uplifting song - and one of my personal favorites.
Ringo Starr and George Harrison famously performed this song at the Convert for Bangladesh, the first time that any two Beatles had performed together since the breakup. Ringo did forget the words..... but everyone still loved him, because how could you not?
