Honey Don’t by Ringo Starr – ***

First released: 1964

Originally Lennon was the featured singer of this Carl Perkins tune, but when The Beatles were fishing for something for Ringo to sing live besides just "Boys", the vocals were handed over. The original studio version with Ringo is on "Beatles For Sale". A 1963 radio version appears on 1994's "Live at the BBC".

A live version appears on 1990’s "Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band" (this version reissued on 2000’s "The Anthology…So Far"), 2004’s "Tour 2003", "Live 2006" album from 2008, and Ringo plays with Perkins himself on 1985's "Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session".
