Which Ringo Starr hit did George Harrison co-write with Starr in 1973?

The story behind the answer

Which Ringo Starr hit did George Harrison co-write with Starr in 1973? The answer is “Photograph.”

Starr and Harrison began writing the song in the South of France in May 1971, while both were enjoying time away from the Beatles’ years of intense activity. The song centers on a photograph as the last reminder of a lost relationship, giving Starr a direct, wistful solo-artist vehicle.

“Photograph” became the lead single from Starr’s 1973 album Ringo. It was officially credited to Richard Starkey, Starr’s birth name, and George Harrison. Although Harrison had helped Starr with earlier recordings such as “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Back Off Boogaloo,” this was the first of their collaborations to credit both men as co-writers.

The recording also features Harrison on guitar and backing vocals, with an orchestra and choir arranged by Jack Nitzsche. The single topped the US, Canadian and Australian charts, making it one of Starr’s signature hits.
