PAUL: […] one night our drummer then, Pete Best, wasn’t available, so Ringo sat in. And I remember the moment. […] me, John and George, God bless ’em, were on the front line singing, and now behind us we had this guy we’d never played with before, and I remember the moment when he started to play – I think it was Ray Charles, “What’d I Say,” and most of the drummers couldn’t nail the drum part […]. It was a little difficult to do, but Ringo nailed it. Yeah — Ringo nailed it! And I remember the moment, standing there and looking at John and then looking at George, and the look on our faces was like, f*cking hell, what is this? And that was the moment, that was the beginning, really, of the Beatles.
