10 Songs That Would've Fit Perfectly On The Next Beatles Album (Had They Not Split)

10. It Don't Come Easy - Ringo Starr

At the start of the post-Beatles world, Ringo was actually pretty successful at nabbing a few chart hits in a relatively short amount of time. However, most of his output at the start of his solo career was composed primarily of covers rather than originals. So in the grand tradition of Beatles albums, this will be Ringo's only vocal showcase.

That's not to downplay Starr's presence on this track though. "It Don't Come Easy" marked a great start for the drummer, with a sharp vocal melody and a great attitude in the performance. This song may not have that much changing across its runtime, but it's definitely of a higher quality than Starr's other originals like "Don't Pass Me By." The fact that George Harrison even helped Ringo write the tune also gives it a few Fab points that are more than worth inclusion on the record.

In terms of how it will be showcased, this could be a good palette cleanser on the record amid the other great songs. With John and George both delving into more heavy subject matters on their material, Ringo is just the right person to put a good-natured twist on the Fabs' sound. This song is perfect for having just the right amount of finesse and unabashed fun, which, in essence, is what Ringo is all about.
