Ringo Starr Thinks George Harrison Made 'Photograph' 1 of His Best Songs
Ringo Starr said "Photograph" is one of the best songs he ever wrote. He said some of the track's greatness had nothing to do with him.
During a 2007 interview with The Gainesville Sun, Ringo was asked if “No No Song” was one of his favorite songs from his catalog. “I have great memories of when we recorded that, because the last thing any of us were doing was saying ‘No’ in those days,” he said. “Things have changed, of course.
“Photograph’ is beautiful,” he said. “That’s one of the best songs I’ve ever written. I was writing it with George Harrison, so that also helped.” Notably, George co-wrote or produced other famous Ringo tunes like “Back Off Boogaloo” and “It Don’t Come Easy.”
“In those days, and still to this day, I only play three chords,” he added. “I’d write these songs, and then I’d give them to George and he would put in 10 more chords, and they’d think I was the genius.”
