Sir Paul McCartney features on two tracks on Ringo Starr’s forthcoming album ‘Give More Love’.
The Beatles legends reunited in the studio earlier this year, with McCartney providing the bass for ‘We’re On The Road Again’ and ‘Show Me The Way ‘.
Edgar Winter, Steve Lukather, Peter Frampton, Timothy B. Schmidt, Richard Page of Mr. Mister and Dave Stewart are also featured on the 10-track compilation.
Ringo has marked his 77th birthday today (07.07.17) by announcing his 19th solo record will drop on September 15.
The album is the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Postcard From Paradise’ and it’s the first time McCartney has recorded with his bandmate since 2010, when he provided bass for ‘Peace Dream’ and ‘Walk With You’ on Starr’s 2010 record ‘Y Not’.
The lyrics for the album-titled track are as follows: "Sometimes this world can be a hard place/
We wonder where we go from here/ So many hurting bad/ Lost everything they had/ It’s hard to know what we can do
Give more love/ Give more love/It’s what we know we need more of/ From the heart, let it start/ To flow to everyone/ Give More Love (sic)"
Starr marked reaching 77 by spreading love and peace on Twitter.
He wrote: "Peace and love to everybody in the world who are celebrating at noon peace and love peace and love (sic)"
