Ringo Starr celebrated his 82nd<\/sup> birthday on July 7 in his customary \u201cpeace and love\u201d style. The former Rory Storm and the Hurricanes drummer joined the Beatles in 1962, taking over from Pete Best; the rest, as they say, is history. But even beyond his work with The Beatles and his subsequent solo career, the man born Richard Starkey has provided his talents and good humor to many other artists\u2019 recordings, including several of his own heroes. Here\u2019s a look at five of his most notable sessions outside the Beatles\u2019 orbit.<\/p>\n

Howlin\u2019 Wolf \u2013 \u201cI Ain\u2019t Superstitious\u201d<\/b> Ringo Starr was part of an all-star ensemble backing revered blues singer and guitarist Howlin\u2019 Wolf (born Chester Burnett). Wolf first cut the song in 1961, and for 1970\u2019s The London Howlin\u2019 Wolf Sessions<\/i>, he\u2019s supported by a bunch of players who grew up listening to the original recording. In addition to his longtime rhythm guitarist Hubert Sumlin and a three-man horn section, here Wolf is backed by Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, Ringo and (on cowbell) Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman.<\/p>\n
