Of course Grow old with me wasn't for Ringo and of course he should have known about it. It's on Milk and honey! I remember when Milk and honey was new. Yoko told the story that John said it's gonna be his new "Imagine". Why should he give away a song like this???? And for Ringo!? Listen to Ringo's version. It's dull, it's bad. And no, John and George was NOT in a fistfight 1969!
I wanted to put this song in my marriage cerimony, but it was in a baptist church, in 1993, here in Brazil. I thought it's better not to do this. But I like this song so much. And I'm still married!
George sued Ringo, and they still liked each other. They viewed it as a dispute. George wrote a song, and Ringo produced it, and added his flair. where is the line between writing, and adding your own flair to a song that someone else wrote.

Good stuff! I've actually spent a considerable amount of time the last series of months updating 'Grow Old With Me''s Wikipedia page after learning that the song was among those considered by the surviving Beatles. I never knew this somehow so have been going down a rabbit hole on it and putting what I learn up on the page. 'Grow Old With Me' has always been one of my favorite Lennon songs. It's great to see the story of the song and Starr's version rolled up in video form.
@@talkcat10 trust me I’m all for conspiracies, but that one simply isn’t real. I feel it’s a joke made at people who will believe it by the Beatles themselves.
I can tell you for somebody that was listening to the media in December 1980. across the media for a solid month and there were many events held including in Central Park as well as across the worlds Liverpool and the number of musicians that recorded songs in tribute to him it was a big deal.
How would Ringo have been unaware of this song when it was released on ‘Milk and Honey’ in 1984, which is also probably the reason they didn’t consider it for anthology.
1975-1987 were Ringo’s rough years, as he was in full blown alcoholic mode, and would be 1988 before he went into rehab…. Interviews from this period are a hard watch, and he never talks about it in interviews these days (also none of his albums from 76-80 have been rereleased, and it’s unluckily they ever will… as Ringo simply never talks about these years)
Well… simple as it may seem … I don’t think The Beatles necessarily listened to all of each other’s solo albums. So, it’s very easy for it to have gone unnoticed by Ringo. ( And “Milk & Honey”, didn’t exactly get a lot of airplay.)
John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll album was recorded over the course of a year, beginning in October 1973 and ending in October 1974: The album was released in February 1975.
And Paul played the kazoo, believe it or not, on the cover song "You're Sixteen" which became a hit off of the 1973 RINGO album in the USA in early 1974.
The lineup for the whole album is Ringo Starr drums. Klaus vrooman Bass. And of course John Lennon piano and guitar and vocals. Also Phil Spector backing vocals on Love'/. And Billy Preston organ on God/. Point being Ringo is on every single song. It's cool because except for God it's a trio for the whole album. There is also a companion that is yoko's album with the same cover except she is leaning on John's lap rather than John leaning on her lap. An improv album with Ringo Starr. Of course John Lennon. N Klaus voorman
You neglect to mention another great song one of the others wrote for Ringo: IT DON'T COME EASY was written and recorded by Harrison, but given to Ringo.
Thanks very much - this comment has made my day! Ha, 'young man' is fine - in terms of music taste I do feel I was born far too late!! But I really bloody enjoy discovering and sharing stories from the past world of rock!
The one and only version of this song is Mary Chapin Carpenters....., that version shows how good this song actually is.... look it up, and be floored.....
This video almost seems like a work of historical fiction, considering how much of it is not necessarily true. Aside from the never-confirmed (but often-dismissed) story of John and George's alleged fistfight, as well as the idea that "Grow Old With Me" came from "Tennessee"/"Howling At The Moon"/"Memories"/"India, India" in any serious capacity beyond 'GOWM''s intro and outro, my main problem with this video is this persistent idea shared by Beatles fans that John Lennon ever intended "Grow Old With Me" for Ringo Starr. This is a story that only seemed to begin circulating around the time that Ringo recorded his cover of the tune in 2019, four decades after the song was originally written. Interestingly, when you read that big quote from Ringo where he supposedly reacts to Jack Douglas telling him about the song, you never see the words "Grow Old With Me" as part of the quote. Perhaps there's a larger story or interview that provides more cnclusive context, but I have never seen it. Even if Ringo did hear John Lennon say his name on a recording, which I do recall having heard myself, it was probably for a different song. Most likely, it was on a demo for either "Life Begins At 40" or "Nobody Told Me", as these were the two songs that John Lennon had intended for Ringo's "Stop And Smell The Roses" album in the early eighties. As for John actually considering giving Ringo "Grow Old With Me", I find that to be laughable. As this very video explains, John wrote that song in response to Yoko writing a song for John. Yoko's song was inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and John's song in response was inspired by Elizabeth's husband Robert Browning. John's song was very personal between him and Yoko. And at the time, John and Yoko were in the midst of their 'Heartplay' style of recording, whereby they would create a musical dialogue back and forth to each other through song lyrics. One would have to be crazy to believe that John would be willing to sacrifice a track from he and yoko's Heartplay dialogue (risking Yoko's wrath) just to hand it over to Ringo, who nobody is accusing of being a legendary balladeer. I'd be happy to be proven wrong about all of this, but that has yet to happen. And if people are going to make claims about Beatles history that they can't prove, I have no reason to believe them if those claims instinctively sound like nonsense to me.
6:04 mentions the George inspired bit, I can hear a tiny bit of a different guitar near the middle which i’m guessing must be it but where in Here Comes The Sun does that appear?
The Beatles was the most historic. Not necessary the best band but the biggest more influential band. I never considered the drummer but i know a few famous drummers but could not any. George did some amazing solos albums. Paul just made cutesy sings and nothing important at all. John was my personally most talented and thoughtful songwriter and performer. In 1972, my graduation day my speech was i want to be a Working Class Hero. That was my love for John and i still have 11 albums i have. I still have George three albums, Two for Paul. And none for Ringo. But i still love Ringo with Thomas the Tank Engine. And I loved Thomas with George Carlin one of my favorite comedian. So talented. But that is my favorite history with Ringo. And soon lost George and Join before they became seniors like Paul and Ringo. So sad.
I prefer Lennon's version of Grow Old with me - Ringo's version is over produced slush IMO. As for Harrison and Lennon having a fist fight lol They never did, it is a newspaper story and myth! In 1974 Harrison was furious and wanted to sue the newspaper for such a lie but Lennon talked him out for it (probably due to the other legal issue Lennon was involved in). Lennon admitted that he wanted to hit Harrison for his rudeness to Yoko in 1969 and mentioned in an interview that he was surprised he never did. That is it!
I know that JL is now no longer with us,but since the message was on a demo,isn't it reasonable to assume it was not intended for general consumption?Like hours.
Am I misremembering? Weren't John and Yoko separated as a couple and living apart when he was killed? I always wonder when folks refer to their great romantic love. But I thought that had rather ended and it only became reignited when Yoko stepped back into the picture after his death. Am I wrong?
Yes, they were recording an album together when he was killed. They had split in the 70’s but were still in touch , eventually reconnected had Sean and John retired o father his son while Yoko managed their finances among other things….he was finally ready to start making music again and I guess they decided on doing it together. They made two albums Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey then sadly he was killed before they were released.
I think the fact that Yoko Ono was more interested in the writing was a motive and not so much an artist but music artist... Her claims that she did not know of the Beatles was BS. No way that is true. I mean np possible way she did not know who John Lennon and the Beatles was. When she says she did not know who John Lennon and the Beatles was no one ever call her in that was hollow. I also never heard one song she did that I was interested in... The thing about the Beatles and pretty much anything they did apart was great.
There’s no right or wrong way to express your grief, especially when you’ve got the public and media wanting you to do so publicly in then everyone’s face. Your comment was very unkind disrespectful and lacked compassion.
that intro juxtaposed to your enthusiastic lead-in intro is mega disrespectful. I don't think you intended it, but just imagine if John was one of your brothers...
I don't believe this story. Why should John gives away his best song since Imagine? On Milk and Honey, Yoko says, that John's ambition was to make Grow old with me his new Imagine, and that the reason why it's not on Double fantasy, was because John wasn't shure about the arrangemant yet.
Yes, a great song and yes agree, "wedding song of the century", as it's lyrics seem to resemble bible verse's; “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” Matthew 19:4-6. Then, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Ephesians 5:25.
There are different audio recordings of this song containing (collectively) all four Beatles….and a George Martin orchestra score. I predict this will all be put together for one final Beatle single. It’s a beautiful song.
No there is not lol The George Martin orchestra has no input from any Beatle! So where did you get that gem of misinformation from regarding all the Beatles on the song!
@@dannyvine3605 Ringo Starr, Peter Jackson, The Beatles Anthology. And George Martin usually wrote background scores without the Beatles, especially any song written by John Lennon.
@@danielgrubb9668 None of those you mention have said there are audio recordings of George playing or singing Grow Old with me! When they did Anthology and Free as a Bird sessions Grow Old with me was not worked on! So unless they start taking George's musical contributions from other songs and splice them together - not a chance that Grow Old With me will be a Beatles single! .
I am so sorry to say this and maybe I will revisit this video, but your voice sounds so much like a DJ that it is not allowing me to even follow the story you are trying to tell. And how your voice drops at the end of EVERY PHRASE! Ugh. It's not good my friend. Why don't you try to just be more natural with your story telling? This is not you announcing songs on the radio. Thanks for trying though!
@@MusicMongoose Now tell the whole story of what is talked about in the Get Back / Let It Be video! To jog your memory, George mentions a story about them fighting in an annoyed sound of voice and then John makes a joke of it! In fact, George wanted to sue the newspaper / journalist who wrote and published the story as it is not true.
I do enjoy your content, but those ridiculous special effect on the reels must go. It is so distracting that one loses your content due to an inability to concentrate on your message. Your creativity needs refinement.
Music Mongoose, When your reporting is inaccurate you destroy the truth of our human story. Please recant your entire report is full is false reporting. The Beatles split up only because John wanted to do his own thing after a creating a lifetime of one of a kind songs and compositions. One of Johns friends 1968 to 1980. PS shame to you for taking license to riddle truth with stupid.

Based on the conversations in the Get Back film, John & George never had a fist fight, and they mock the newspaper accounts of it as "fake news".
Ringo didn't play on a 'couple of tracks' on John's Plastic Ono album, he drums on all of it, and on Yoko's companion album.
ALMOST all of it.

And how your voice drops at the end of EVERY PHRASE! Ugh. It's not good my friend. Why don't you try to just be more natural with your story telling? This is not you announcing songs on the radio. Thanks for trying though!
The fist fight thing was fake news. Just watch the get back documentary John even talks about it.
And I talk about the fact that it's talked about in the Get Back doc in the video... go and give it a watch
@@MusicMongoose Now tell the whole story of what is talked about in the Get Back / Let It Be video! To jog your memory, George mentions a story about them fighting in an annoyed sound of voice and then John makes a joke of it! In fact, George wanted to sue the newspaper / journalist who wrote and published the story as it is not true.
Caí en la trampa, otra vez. 9 minutos de mi vida perdidos en otro de esos videos cuyo título no corresponde con el contenido. 👎👎👎
Utterly tasteless transition at the opening. I won't be seeking you out in the future, Smiley.
I do enjoy your content, but those ridiculous special effect on the reels must go. It is so distracting that one loses your content due to an inability to concentrate on your message. Your creativity needs refinement.
Too much BS filler --- out of here at 3:17.
Music Mongoose, When your reporting is inaccurate you destroy the truth of our human story. Please recant your entire report is full is false reporting. The Beatles split up only because John wanted to do his own thing after a creating a lifetime of one of a kind songs and compositions. One of Johns friends 1968 to 1980. PS shame to you for taking license to riddle truth with stupid.
Hey idiom never make jest of a beatle again I left went to the rainforest because of his death I'm not fond of you making jest of his death John Lennon was a good man moriois

Ringo’s 💩 drumming make my ears cry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is no message to Ringo on the "Grow Old With Me" demos. The messages can be found on the demos for "Nobody Told Me".
