Video: 'You Always Hurt The One You Love'
(Friday, March 6, 1970, 10:00 a.m.-noon BST) — Ringo Starr of The Beatles completed sessions for his first solo album, Sentimental Journey, today at Morgan Studios in London, adding a saxophone part, piano and drums to “You Always Hurt The One You Love.”
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.
