Answers

1. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles. He’d taken up drums as a child when he was in a sanitarium for tuberculosis for two years and was encouraged to play musical instruments for therapy. Today he’s Sir Richard Starkey, having been knighted by Prince William for services to music in the U.K.

2. Greg Lake, of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He wrote it after his mother bought him a guitar, and after he’d learned four chords.

3. John Lennon, in 1964. The best-ever version, hands down, was the cover by the Mamas & the Papas in 1966 on their debut album.

4. Lou Christie, in 1963.

5. “More Than Silence,” by Boy George and Culture Club, in 2018. The song was released on their “Life” album, their sixth and the first since 1999.
