By the way, did Ringo ever do 'anything' with anybody else?

Would Chuck Jackson count? First as a Del-Viking, then as a solo.

The reason why I ask "would" is that I'm not sure if he sang on any well-known recordings of the group. After all, the title of the thread is SUCCESSFUL ventures, right?

Best,

Mark

Ringo did a lot of stuff with a lot of people, but all under his own name, unless you want to count "The All Starr Band".
