"What Goes On" from Rubber Soul and "With a Little Help from My Friends" from Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.This happened after Hudson dropped out of the 2006 tour as musical director to do the TV show "The One: Making A Music Star".On 27 August 2006, Starr's wife Barbara Bach was kicked by a horse and broke her leg while they were celebrating her 59th birthday.She had surgery to repair her fractured right femur.Magical Mystery Tour (1967), Let It Be (1970)), he has acted in several films such as Candy (1968), The Magic Christian (1969) (alongside Peter Sellers), Blindman (1971), Son of Dracula (1974) and Caveman (1981).For the 1979 documentary film on the Who, The Kids Are Alright, Starr appeared in interview segments with fellow drummer Keith Moon.He starred as Larry the Dwarf in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (1971).He costarred in the Last Waltz, the Martin Scorcese film about the 1976 farewell concert of The Band, a favorite of the Beatles.Paul McCartney penned Give My Regards to Broad Street in 1984.However, Starr didn't say anything as the inner show ended when the It man said "It's..."In 1984, Starr narrated the children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.Starr also portrayed the character Mr.Shining Time Station, which debuted in 1989.In an interview with Q Magazine in 1998, he admitted he was "really pleased he did it".Also in 1989, he appeared with his daughter Lee in a US television commercial for Oldsmobile, in which he narrated the first line of automaker's new jingle (to his daughter), "This is not your father's Oldsmobile!"In the same year Starr recorded the song "You'll Never Know", which was played over the end credits in the James Belushi motion picture Curly Sue.In 2000, he appeared in the first of the "Smart Investor" TV commercials for Charles Schwab Brokerage.In the commercial, Starr is trying to help a group of young songwriters come up with a rhyme for "elation".Starr suggests such financial investment terms as "dividend reinvestment participation", "market capitalization", "European market fluctuation" and "asset allocation", as an instrumental version of the song Money, recorded by The Beatles, plays in the background.Well, there goes me knighthood.Awards and recognition
