Dose of Rock and Roll, A by Ringo Starr – **

First released: 1976

After a strong opening, this song just plods along disappointingly for the remainder. I always thought it could have been a hit if the tempo for the remainder of the song was the same as the opening bars. In fact, in Ringo’s 1978 TV special, the opening leads into a new version of "Act Naturally", which goes to show you how the song could have sounded, tempo-wise. The beginning of the end of Ringo’s charting recording career. He would record a number of better singles and albums in later years to an indifferent public. The song was also included on "Starr Struck: Best of Ringo Starr, Vol. 2" in 1989. It was also included on 2007’s "Photograph" compilation.
