Ringo Starr says that playing on his former Beatle bandmate John Lennon’s first solo record, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, was a major highlight in his career. “It’s one of the best experiences of being on a record I have ever had,” he told Uncut magazine. “Just being in the room with John, being honest, the way he was, screaming, shouting and singing. It was an incredible moment.” Starr also recalled the vibe that existed between John, bassist Klaus Voorman and himself. “John, Klaus and I, one of the finest trios I ever heard. We did it like a jam,” he said. “We knew John had the songs and we’d kick it in and felt where it should go. We knew Klaus anyway. John and I really knew each other, so we were psychic where the atmosphere was going to go.” John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was recorded in 1970, one year after the Beatles split.
