Ringo Starr asking Starr to leave the Hurricanes and join his band. Starr quit Rory Storm and the Hurricanes in January 1962 and briefly joined Sheridan in Hamburg before returning to the Hurricanes for a third season at Butlins. On 14 August, Starr accepted Lennon's invitation to join the Beatles. On 16 August, Beatles manager Brian Epstein fired their drummer, Pete Best, who recalled: "He said 'I've got some bad news for you. The boys want you out and Ringo in.' He said [Beatles producer] George Martin wasn't too pleased with my playing [and] the boys thought I didn't fit in." Starr
Angel in Disguise (McCartney–Starr song) Angel in Disguise (McCartney–Starr song) "Angel in Disguise" is a song co-written by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr that has never been released. The song was intended for Ringo's 1992 "Time Takes Time" album; however, it did not make it onto the album, and therefore remains an intriguing, publicly unheard song. Had it been released in 1992 it would have been the first McCartney-Starkey composition on record, although there were Beatles songs that were credited to Lennon–McCartney–Starkey and Lennon–McCartney–Harrison–Starkey. McCartney sent Starr an unfinished demo of the song, to which Starr added an extra verse. Backing tracks for the song
