Ringo Starr has laid down the back beat to a new song by his All Starr Band guitarist,Steve Lukather.
"Run to Me" will be on the Totoco-founder's untitled new album, which will be released next year.
Lukather says, “I wanted to release this now because it fits the moment... A time where we all need a happy song for an unhappy time."
He added, "When I got together with [Toto singer] Joseph Williams and [Toto keyboardist] David Paich to collaborate on the songwriting, there was pure collective inspiration among the three of us to articulate this message of hope directed towards our daughters... Musically, the song is absolutely influenced by my growing up in the Sixties, inspired by some of my favorite elements of the repertoire that defined that indelible era. And, Ringo, what can I say. It is an honor to have his contribution captured on a song of mine, much less his gracious presence in the video."
In addition to Ringo and Williams, the video also features an appearance by John Pierce from Huey Lewis & The News on bass.
