idk man, seems pretty straightforward to me

Lennon "was the soul of the Beatles, Harrison was the spirit." Martin said. "Paul was the heart, and Ringo was the drummer." Ringo: he was the drummer

"Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?"

"Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles"- The Beatles

If your fact checker is caught stealing by Buzzfeed: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/13/business/media/snopes-plagiarism-David-Mikkelson.html

And considered unreliable by among others Harvard: https://misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/fact-checking-fact-checkers-a-data-driven-approach/

You might want to double check. I didn't. I just want to caution people about blindly trusting Snopes. So they might very well be right on this topic.
