Overdubs for Ringo Starr’s ‘Easy for Me’ recorded in Los Angeles 50 years ago this hour #OnThisDay (Oct 16 1974)


Video: 'Easy For Me'

(Wednesday, October 16, 1974, 7:00-10:00 p.m. PDT) — Orchestral overdubs for “Easy for Me” were recorded this evening at Sunset Sound Studios in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles for Ringo Starr’s second rock solo studio album, Goodnight Vienna.

This Harry Nilsson-penned track eventually appeared on Nilsson’s own 1975 LP Duit On Mon Dei (a title that reflected a Ringo/Harry bit of wackiness which first showed up on the cover of the Ringo LP), with a name change to “Easier For Me”).

Goodnight Vienna would be released Nov. 15, 1974, in the UK (Nov. 18, 1974, in the U.S.).
