(Saturday, April 1, 1972) — “Back Off Boogaloo” by ex-Beatle Ringo Starr debuted at #88 on today’s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Starr’s former Beatles bandmate George Harrison produced the recording and helped Starr write the song, although he remained uncredited as a co-writer until 2017. Recording took place in London shortly after the pair had appeared together at Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh shows in August 1971.
The single was a follow-up to Starr’s 1971 hit song “It Don’t Come Easy” and continued his successful run as a solo artist.
