Ringo Starr - Live at the Greek Theatre - 22. Oh My My

August 2nd 2008. “Oh My My“ is a danceable single from Ringo Starr’s Ringo album, and features backing vocals from Merry Clayton and Martha Reeves. It hit number five on the U.S. Billboard charts, making it one of the most successful songs of Starr’s career. The song was co-written by Starr (credited by his real name, “Richard Starkey“) and Vini Poncia, a frequent Ringo co-writer, who would later go on to produce the rock band Kiss. After many public requests, Starr finally performed “Oh My My“ with the 2008 All Starr Band, for the first time in 34 years. The song was covered by Ike & Tina Turner, who performed it on a 1974 episode of Soul Train. “Oh My My“ is unrelated to an earlier, song of the same name by The Monkees, which appeared on their 1970 Changes album.
