Drowning in the Sea of Love by Ringo Starr – **

First released: 1977

When Ringo sings “I’ve been down one time”, I think of "A Dose of Rock ‘n’ Roll". Then when he sings “I’ve been down two times”, I think of "Hey Baby". And when Ringo sings “But now I’m drowning, drowning in the sea of love”, I think of this song or "Wings". Ringo really hit his nadir here, singles-wise, from "Ringo the 4th". He has recorded worse tunes, but not so bad to release them as potential hit singles. Joe Simon had a hit with this in 1972.
