(Thursday, August 19, 1971) — Ex-Beatle Ringo Starr completed two consecutive days of recording the song “Blindman” today at Apple Studios in London.

“Blindman” was originally intended as the theme song to the 1971 film of the same name, a Spaghetti Western in which Starr had a starring role.

The track would be released Mar. 17, 1972 in the UK (Mar. 20, 1972 in the U.S.) as the B-side of Starr’s hit single “Back Off Boogaloo.”
