Sorry, I forgot to include that. I have edited your vote.

I think Ringo sounds the best on With A Little Help From My Friends, the song seems to suit his voice the best and he has a chance to show what he's worth as a singer.

Ringo has personality all over his voice. I don't care what he sings. It just shouts, "Ringo!"

ringo's voice is all his own.
not to be compared to the other beatles.
even today, his voice sounds like back in the day.
i would love for him to sing octopus's garden in concert .
even though i voted for with a little help, i think octopuss is my favorite beatle ringo song.

He does have a very interesting voice.  Unique for sure.  I vote for...With a Little Help From My Friends.  That song just suits him.  I do really love when he sings Boys though.  I love how he rocks out on that one.

I'm with 'I Wanna Be Your Man' - though 'Boys' rocks just as well. He does the ballads nicely, but I like the rockers.

Goodnight. I am planning on singing that to my children as their lullaby. If I could only get those deep low notes down.... ahh well I have about 5-10 years

"Don't Pass Me By " gets my vote i really like his droll delivery . " With A little Help From My Friends " is a close second though . It's funny this song as been coverd by a number of good singers and none of them seem to capture what Ringo did with the song , his is the definitive version .

"With a Little Help From My Friends." But I love the full throttle crash-and-burn take of "Boys" on Live At The Hollywood Bowl, and there's a great version of "I Wanna Be Your Man" on Complete BBC as well.

no offence to anyone, but i don't much like ringo's vocals, but if i had to choose, it would be octopus's garden

His voice is very unique.  I think it only work for certain types of songs.

Boys.  I Wanna Be Your Man a close second.

So do I, Klang

With A Little Help From My Friends, although his voice on Honey Don't really rocks.

To be honest, I like all of these songs, and I love the way Ringo sings in genreal, so I can't pick one... yet (lol)

But let me just agree with something that DaveRam said about With a Little Help from My Friends:

It's funny this song as been coverd by a number of good singers and none of them seem to capture what Ringo did with the song , his is the definitive version .


I agree very much-ly indeed (clap)

I cried buckets when I heard him sing Photograph at Concert for George. Just amazing! I thought his voice had strengthened and grown in confidence beyond measure.

Will have to go away and think about the Beatle ones, though. I do like Boys (the song!!) and I agree about the cover versions. Somehow no-one else can do it like Ringo!

Octopus's Garden.
this is the only Ringo on vocal song i like.

I went for Act Naturally but he does a good job on Boys i reckon. Nice rocking voice there
And i agree Jane, he sounds very good on Liverpool 8

Ringo's voice has definately gotten better as he's aged.  From the Beatles days I like I Wanna Be Your Man
