Written by John and Paul expressly for Ringo, this song was one of the final Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band recordings, commenced on 29 March 1967 with the briefly adopted working title 'Bad Finger Boogie'. The song is sequel to its LP predecessor by more sound effects, including screaming Beatles fans from the group's Hollywood Bowl concert recordings! The song was completed the next day in a Late night session after the Beatles had spent the evening shooting the photographs for the sleeve of the album. With A Little Help From My Friends has twice been taken to number one on the British singles chart: by Joe Cocker in 1968 and by Wet Wet Wet in 1988. Clearly then, a special song.
