Reply to comment by murphyspop in TIL that among the thousands of fans who were in attendance for the Beatles iconic Shea Stadium Concert were Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach. Linda would later marry Paul McCartney in 1969, and Barbara would go on to marry Ringo Starr in 1981. by FranklinDRoosevelt32

Paul and Joe played on a Ringo single a couple years ago, which was a cover of one of John’s final songs.

The song you are mentioning is: “Grow Old With Me. “ The original by John was an incomplete song from ‘Double Fantasy’ that was later included on ‘Milk and Honey,’ and released as a single. When the remaining Beatles reunited to complete the songs ‘Free As A Bird’ and ‘Real Love,’ ‘Grow Old With Me’ was considered, as was ‘Now and Then.’

The Ringo version was released in 2019 on his ‘What’s My Name‘ LP. As mentioned, it featured Paul on bass and vocals, Joe on guitar, and Lennon’s producer Jack Douglas on string arrangements.
