While
all three other former Beatles had contributed to Ringo (1973), only
John Lennon contributed to Goodnight Vienna. On 17 June 1974, Starr
called Lennon, who was about to record his Walls and Bridges album, and
asked him to write a song he could include on his next album. Lennon
wrote what became the title track, "Goodnight Vienna". A demo of "(It's
All Down to) Goodnight Vienna" was recorded by Lennon on 28 June, with
the session musicians from Walls & Bridges and sent to Starr in
advance of the sessions. Besides writing and playing piano on the title
track, Lennon suggested Starr cover The Platters' hit "Only You (And You
Alone)" playing acoustic guitar and providing a guide vocal for Starr
to follow. Starr's versions of both "Only You (And You Alone)" and
"(It's All Down to) Goodnight Vienna" were recorded at a session
produced by Lennon. Elton John also contributed a track, "Snookeroo",
co-written with Bernie Taupin. Harry Nilsson gave Starr the track "Easy
for Me", which he later recorded his own version of for his Duit on Mon
Dei album.
