The Let It Be film made it ABSOLUTELY clear how talented Ringo was and how critical he was to the success of the Beatles. The film showed how CLOSELY he listened to ANYTHING being played around him and instantly began contributing a beat and ADJUSTING that beat as he heard one of the other three experiment and alter what they were trying to achieve. If you were sitting in a room trying to quickly stumble on to a song, there was NO better drummer to have in that room than Ringo, who could do exactly that for HOURS effortlessly and develop perfectly suited drum parts to support the song. Much respect...

That period might have been what he was referring to when he said Paul the the workaholic. I think they all had a lot of energy and wanted to keep making music, but Paul was the one who kept pushing to keep the Beatles together (from my understanding, anyway).

You misunderstand him...Paul wasn't the "workaholic" in the early days, John was more productive. By March of 1966, John told Maureen Cleave, he wanted out of the band. They were paid poorly (ripped off financially by EMI and Brain Epstein. None of them had a million dollars to their name! Can you imagine? John always rebelled against authority.). But, they were still under contract. Paul needed the Beatles more than the others because he had no interests outside of the band. So, he maintained the same work ethic and release schedule they'd had in the early days. John and George (who wanted out too) were no longer motivated to BE Beatles. Ringo, the drummer, apparently, can not appreciate their position. It was a slow disintegration...

@@One.Zero.One101 I think they might have stayed together if they'd taken more time off between albums. There was no reason to do three albums in a one-year time span. It's not like the public was going to forget THE BEATLES. Had I been John, I'd have told Paul if he wanted to work so badly, he could do a solo album. Meanwhile the others could get a well-deserved rest and time away from each other. "See ya in six months, Paulie!"

Without Lennon, there are no Beatles !! maybe if they would have taken a break from each other once in a while they might have lasted longer than 1970. Yes the Beatles are the greatest band of all time and have Timeless Classics that will be talking about 200 years from now but I will emphasize it was John who got the Beatles back together twice: once after their first disastrous trip in Hamburg and after 1966 when Lennon admitted he missed working with the other four after he got done finishing filming How I won the war.

Ringo was always an underrated drummer. Him and George did so much for the group that sometimes seems to get lost. George had an insane level of output that was suppressed by John and Paul as well. Some of the best "Beatles" stuff was Harrison songs that came out after the Beatles broke up.

Ringo was one of four. It was the four parts that made the whole. It is astounding what they did together-they literally changed the world. They all spoke the same language, stood for the same things and each individual was loved by so many. Scorsese did an amazing bio pic on Harrison and it was incredible how beautiful George was as a human. They have a deeper meaning to me, more than I even understand.

"I'm a band guy." That sums Ringo up pretty much. He knows his place, he's not a showboat like Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa. And he didn't try to be like other drummers. Then again, being the Beatles' drummer worked out pretty well for him, why should he be what he's not?
