Today’s Forgotten 45 @ 45!

Happy 81st birthday to Richard Starkey of The Beatles!Ringo Starr’s fifth studio album, released in September of 1976, ‘Ringo’s Rotogravure’, had modest sales based mainly upon it’s first single, “A Dose of Rock ‘n’ Roll”.

The song became Ringo’s first hit on Atlantic Records and while it was released in the U.K. and the U.S., it failed to chart at all in his hone country. It did become a hit here in the states, peaking at #26 on the Hot 100!
