“Hey MrZerr0 how about The Solo Beatles?”<\/u>Dr. Rox Remember When?\u00a0Article #155 Jan 2024By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u00a0 \u00a0It’s a new year, with a new article, it’s amazing to think back when I started writing this article for the “St. Cloud Buzz” all the way back in April 2011, my 1st article was on Jimi Hendrix. Then in February 2013 I was asked to write for Roseville Patch my 1st for them was on Badfinger, for a while the 2 were published simultaneously, then in September 2021 I was asked to write for “Twin Cities Buzz” my 1st article there was on “T-Rex” and again the 2 ran at\u00a0 the same time. Sometime ago someone I once knew offered, “I like the article more when you give your personal perspective on the topic, band, artist etc. so every now and then I do just that. I have well documented how when I was about 10 months old my Aunt Debby K. used to play 45 singles on her record player for me to dance\u00a0to (1964), mostly Dave Clark 5 and Beatles such as “She Love You” “I Want To Hold Your Hand” “Can’t Buy Me Love”.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I remember later my Uncle Jim U. had the first few Beatles albums (1969) like: “Meet The Beatles” and “Something New” then later on my Uncle Jeff S. lived with us for a while on Douglas St. (1971) and he had “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Abbey Road” those really tripped my trigger, and my sister’s baby-sitter Stacy P. used to bring over her Beatles\u00a045s (1973), by this time I was thoroughly\u00a0engrossed in all things Beatles, however being so young at the time I was unaware that The Beatles had already disbanded in December 1970. So I was very confused when I heard Solo Beatles songs on radio KMNS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I would say the very 1st song I heard was Lennon’s “Give Peace A Chance” then probably McCartney’s “Live And Let Die” and then my Mom Carol’s favorite Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” but I know for sure the one that totally knocked me out Starr’s “Photograph” with Harrison. Then in no specific\u00a0order “Another Day” “Isn’t A Pity” “Back Off Boogaloo” “Imagine” “Uncle Albert\/ Admiral Halsey” “#9 Dream” “Give Me Love” “You’re Sixteen” “My Love” “Oh My My” “Jet” “Power To The People” “No No Song” “Band On The Run” “It Don’t Come Easy” after that it was an open flood gate of Solo Beatles songs, too numerous to mention or try to log in order. Then later as I began to collect records myself, specifically\u00a0 the 45 Singles, I started finding songs I never heard on the radio yet they were on the BillBoard Charts “Junior’s Farm” “Mind Games” “Dark Horse” “Snookeroo” and others like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Now when I lived in Sioux City, I remember hearing Ringo on the radio the most, in fact Ringo had more “Top 40 Hits” than Lennon until 1980, when Lennon was killed in December 1980, he got 3 Top 40 Hits off of his last album “Double Fantasy” consequently bumping Ringo out of the #2 Solo Beatles success. In order of Hit Single success McCartney landslide. Lennon at 13, Harrison at 13\u00a0 and Starr at 11. Now to clarify this is Top 40 Hits, not charting singles,as those numbers are vastly different.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The\u00a0Beatles going solo: I am not sure everyone is aware 3 members of The Beatles started doing solo work While they were in The Beatles. Here is a breakdown:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Lennon was asked about Yoko splitting up The\u00a0Beatles Lennon had this to say “Why not thank Yoko for all the great music created by Paul, George and Ringo created after The Beatles”.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
