Video: 'Have I Told You Lately That I Love You'

(Tuesday, February 18, 1970, 2:30-5:30 p.m. BST) — The recordings of “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You” and “Let The Rest Of The World Go By” by Ringo Starr was completed today at EMI Studio 2 in London for his debut solo album Sentimental Journey as Starr re-recorded his vocals for both songs.

Starr began recording an album of standards on Oct. 27, 1969, that would reflect some favorite songs of his mother Elsie Starkey and step-dad Harry, even asking them and other members of his family to choose the tracks.

Starr engaged the services of Beatles producer George Martin to helm his solo debut, shortly after the Beatles’ Abbey Road came out.

Although Starr was the third member of the group to issue solo work (after George Harrison and John Lennon), Sentimental Journey would become the first non-avant-garde studio album by a member of the band.
