Ringo Starr films promo clip for ‘Sentimental Journey’ 50 years ago this hour #OnThisDay #OTD (Mar 15 1970)


Video: 'Ringo Starr - Sentimental Journey'

(Sunday, March 15, 1970, 10:00 a.m. BST) — A promotional clip for the title track of Ringo Starr’s debut solo album Sentimental Journey was shot today at the Talk Of The Town, a popular cabaret venue at 10 Cranbourn Street near London’s Leicester Square.

A new mono mix of the song “Sentimental Journey” had been prepared at EMI Studios on Mar. 13, 1970, which omitted one of Starr’s vocal tracks, allowing him to sing live during the shoot.

Starr varied the lyrics slightly during his performance, and ad-libbed some words over the applause at the end.
