Doctor Robert by The Beatles - ***
First released: 1966
The third of three Lennon songs plucked off of the UK "Revolver" album in favor of the US "Yesterday and Today". They should have left the "Revolver" material alone in favor of songs like "I’m Down", "Misery", "From Me To You" and "There’s a Place" that hadn’t been compiled onto an American album as of yet.

Do You Want to Know a Secret? by The Beatles - ***
First released: 1963
Like Ringo at this time, George was not yet a songwriter, so songs were still being written for him to sing. The inspiration for this has always been cited to be "I’m Wishing" from Walt Disney’s "Snow White". I always laugh when I hear George sing “ear”, because he can’t sing/say it. Must be some Liverpudlian thing, or something. Until I got more familiar with George’s singing voice, I thought it was Paul singing for a time. It was a single in the US, but only an album track on "Please Please Me" in the UK.

Do You Feel Like We Do? by Peter Frampton - ****
First Released: 1998
Peter Frampton performed this live on the fourth Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band tour, but due to time length, the song was left off of any CD compilations, although it was released on the VHS tape of the concert in 1998. It is an excellent performance of a classic Frampton tune originally from 1976.

Do They Know It’s Christmas? by Band Aid - ***
First released: 1984
Christmas single by Band Aid with Paul's minimal participation on the spoken word b-side "Feed the World". It's a cool song regardless.
