Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Sopwith Camel and Replaced Ringo

MARTIN BEARD, 68

Bassist with San Francisco's Sopwith Camel on "Hello, Hello" (#26-1967).

ANDY WHITE, 85

Died November 9, 2015.  Scottish session drummer who played on Beatles' first single "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You."  Hired by George Martin to play on these songs because he wasn't sure about Ringo's ability.  Ringo played tambourine on the American pressing of "Love Me Do."

Also played sessions with Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual," Lulu's "Shout" and recordings by Englebert Humperdink, Dusty Springfield, Herman's Hermits and Petula Clark.
