When:

Short story:

Ringo Starr of The Beatles continues work on his solo album, Sentimental Journey, at EMI’s Abbey Road studios, London, England, UK, Europe, re-recording his vocals for Let The Rest Of The World Go By and Have I Told You Lately That I Love You. He also records his own song, It Don’t Come Easy, with George Harrison on guitar and Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young, on piano.

Kenny Craddock (multi-instrumentalist) : One night we met this guy called Terry Doran who was George Harrison’s man, his assistant or roadie, whatever you like to call him, he'd been with The Beatles from very early on and he became a good friend of ours. He took us out to George's house, when George wasn't around, and we were all marvelling at this fantastic place, plus George also owned the very first Moog synthesiser in this country, which I managed to get to work. Terry would get us the odd gig or session and when he asked me if I wanted to play on one of George and Ringo's, I said yeah, a bit nervous, but I'll do it. So I got the gig and it turned out to be playing piano on the single It Don't Come Easy, which I think ended up around number four in the charts in April 1971. I got a hundred pounds for it, which was about three times the normal session rate in those days, so I was quite happy...
