Richard Henry Parkin Starkey Jr. MBE (Liverpool, 7 de julio de 1940), más conocido como Ringo Starr, es un músico (cantante y compositor) y actor británico, reconocido por haber sido el baterista de The Beatles. De los cuatro miembros del grupo, fue el último en incorporarse a la formación definitiva. Le llaman así porque siempre usa anillos, aunque en una entrevista dijo "Lo elegí porque es nombre de perro y los perros me agradan".[cita requerida]
