Ringo Starr in search for teenage Beatles fans in 1964 photograph [View all]

Ringo Starr is searching for five Americans now in their sixties who he photographed during The Beatles’ first trip to the US almost 50 years ago.




Then teenagers, the group were snapped by the drummer when they pulled up to the band’s car in their convertible in Miami Beach, Florida, in February 1964.

The snapshot is among 240 being published for the first time in Photograph, a book of pictures taken by Starr, now 73, around the world during his long career in music.

“It’s just a great shot,” he writes in the book. “They're looking at us and I'm photographing them.” A sixth teen, who is barely visible, is sitting in the back seat of the car.


During the same stay in Miami, The Beatles were photographed playing on a beach and joking around with Muhammad Ali, the champion heavyweight boxer
