Can anyone imagine Peter Best singing.....

---

Well, no...because I never heard Peter Best sing. But, if he had, I guess we could. While he might not be as good as Ringo, he probably wasn’t that terrible. If he had done those songs (and they’d been successful), then that’s all the Public would know.

It’s like saying, imagine Tom Sellect as Indiana Jones (as Selleck was supposedly offered the role, but could not do it because of other commitments). If he had been able to do it, I guess we’d just associate him with that character without thinking about it.

Ringo isn’t a great singer, but his voice is distinctive.

Ringo is/was a great drummer. Being left-handed and playing on a right-hand kit, he made a unique sound.

Spend some time listening to drums on some of the best Beatles songs: Ticket to Ride,
Come Together,
Rain,
and many others!

Singing? Not so much, IMHO.

Selleck could not get out of his Magnum commitment to do Raiders.
