Ringo Starr

Sentimental Journey APPLE, 1970

Three years before Nilsson, Ringo became the first rock star to indulge in swing-era nostalgia. An all-star cast of arrangers, including George Martin, Quincy Jones and Elmer Bernstein, provide the brassy blasts and string-laden and and renders them denim and corduroy-friendly. Strange that he never did a follow-up.
