Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette) by Ringo Starr – ***

First Released: 1978

Why oh why did Ringo release this on as the first single off of his album "Bad Boy". Since the overwhelming flop of "Ringo the 4th" and its accompanying singles, this should have not even been considered. "Heart On My Sleeve" would have been a much better choice especially since he was promoting it and not this song on his 1978 "Ringo" TV special. "Lipstick Traces" was written by Naomi Neville and originally a hit for Benny Spellman in 1962 and The O’Jays (yes, those O’Jays) in 1965.
