Song: Act Naturally
Album: Help! (1965)
While John and Paul took on the majority of the lead vocal responsibilities, almost every Beatles album includes songs led by George and Ringo as well. In Ringo's case, it was generally one song per album.
On 1965's Help!, Ringo sang the Voni Morrison/Johnny Russell penned "Act Naturally" (which was originally recorded by Buck Owens in 1963). It would be the last cover the band would record until the Get Back/Let it Be sessions in 1969.
The Beatles had planned to record a Normal Smith tune for Help! but realized Ringo did not yet have a tune for the album. When they weren't satisfied with the recording of "If You've Got Trouble," they recorded "Act Naturally."
