First released: 1963
Apparently a Beatles favorite as they sing it on "A Beatles Christmas Record", in both English and German, Later on John sings it solo on "The Beatles' Seventh Christmas Record" in 1969. Both renditions are the "The Beatles Christmas Album" from 1970.

Good For God by Harry Nilsson – **
First released: 1975
Harry Nilsson song in which Ringo guests from Harry’s album "Duit on Mondei". Not one of Nilsson’s better moments. Kinda dull.

Fill in the Blanks by Ringo Starr – ****
First released: 2010
Great leadoff track from the Ringo album "Y Not", with a hard-rocking thumping beat.

"Good Evening New York City" by Paul McCartney – ***
First released: 2009
This just in: Paul McCartney has just released his 347th album since leaving The Beatles, where he sings "Let Me Roll It" for the 45,652nd time in his career. The 94-year-old ex-Beatle said of the release, "I just need to milk it one more time before I join John and George in the sky!" Ringo was more impressed with "Two Virgins", and has now approached Paul as he now qualified as an All-Starr. George Martin was quoted as saying, "What?" McCartney hopes to outsell (and outlive) Yoko Ono's new CD, "I'm Screaming My Head Off and I Don't Know Why".

Good Day Sunshine by The Beatles – ****
First released: 1966
McCartney was at his compositional peak in 1966. Never before or since has he composed so many EXCELLENT tunes in one short period of time that featured equally as many diverse styles, tempos, and lyrics. All you have to look at is "Got to Get You Into My Life", "For No One", "Here, There and Everywhere", "Paperback Writer", to see what I mean. Originally this was on "Revolver". One of the songs McCartney chose to remake in an inferior version for "Give My Regards to Broad Street" in 1984. A live version by Paul appeared on the b-side of the "Birthday" CD single in 1990.
