Ringo Starr: 'We proved music is more than just a name'

James Naughtie spoke to Ringo Starr about the influences on his 18th studio album, Postcards from Paradise.

Ringo Starr is still recording as he approaches his 75th birthday and on the album's first track, he recollects life before The Beatles.

"I've decided to do my autobiography on record, not in a book," he said.

Starr recalled being asked to help out Lennon, McCartney and Harrison in 1962.

"We proved everybody wrong that music is more than a name," he said.
