The cover of the Beatles' 1967 LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic images in the history of rock & roll. The photo was originally going to show the Beatles (in their Sgt. Pepper's outfits) playing in a park. That slowly evolved into the final concept, where they stand amidst cardboard cutouts of their heroes. The band originally planned on including Leo Gorcey, Gandhi, Jesus Christ and Adolf Hi**er in the photo. Common sense kicked Hi**er off the cover (though they did create an image of him), the still-lingering bitterness of Lennon's "bigger than Jesus" comment kicked Jesus off the cover and Gandhi got the boot over concerns that India wouldn't print the album.

Actor Gorcey requested $400 for his likeness, a decision he probably lived to regret. Mae West initially refused, asking "What would I be doing in a lonely hearts club band?" The Beatles sent her a letter explaining the concept, causing her to change her mind. The only people still living from the cover are Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dion DiMucci, and Bob Dylan.

On November 24th 1973 - Ringo Starr
Ringo Starr went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Photograph'. His first of two US chart toppers as a solo artist. Written by Starr and George Harrison, the promotional film shot for the single showed Starr walking around his new house at the time, Tittenhurst Park, which had been previously the home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, (and where the 'Imagine' promo film was shot).

The rest of you, just rattle your jewellery’. The show was broadcast on UK television on the Nov 10th 1963.
