Ringo Starr’s sixth solo album, Ringo The 4th, was released in the United States on 30 September 1977, ten days after its UK release.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and New York in 1977, and saw Starr adopting R&B and disco styles.
Ringo The 4th was a critical and commercial failure. It did not chart in the UK, and peaked at number 162 in the US. Its lack of success led to Starr being dropped by Atlantic.
