"It Don't Come Easy" is a great song. For me, "Photographs" is one of the all time great love lost songs. I detect George Harrison big time in both of these songs.

"Photograph" was written by both George and Ringo.  "It don't come easy" has the riff that the first time I heard it I instantly thought it was George Harrison.  He produced the song and chances are he played that riff.  John wrote "I'm the greatest" and Paul wrote "Six O'Clock" ... all on the "Ringo" album.  All the beatles played on that LP altough not on the same track.

That was classic George. In one of Ringo's concerts he said that he had written "Photographs" and I had always thought at best it was a collaboration with George. That was about the time Eric Clapton ran off with George's wife.

I think "Ringo" was his best album easily. I still get a laugh out of George's one chord "Navy" song.

The "Hare Krishna" reference during the guitar solo was a dead giveaway.

Ringo's "Time Takes Time" is the best CD done since "Ringo".

And in searching I found "Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band: The Anthology [BOX SET]" which I did not know existed but will buy.
