Beatles fans around the world commemorated the 57th anniversary of their final live performance—the legendary rooftop concert atop Apple Records. Captured in Get Back and memorialized in Let It Be, this moment was their live swan song, a testament to creative courage and collaboration. On January 31, 1969, Paul McCartney sent Ringo Starr a postcard that read:
“You are the greatest drummer in the world. Really.”
This wasn’t a public accolade or a grand gesture. It was a handwritten note— A small moment, but a significant one.
January 31st marked the final official filming session for the Get Back/Let It Be recording sessions. Ringo was about to begin filming the movie The Magic Christian alongside Peter Sellers; since it was likely this would take up a significant amount of his time, Paul may have chosen that moment to send the note.
To this day, the exact context of this congratulatory missive remains unknown. Paul might have assumed Ringo would be busy for a while and sent it then (though, as it turned out, Ringo actually had most of his evenings free for the band). It is also unknown whether Paul sent similar notes of appreciation to John and George.
