Carl Groszman

Carl Groszman is a musician. He signed to Ringo Starr's own record label Ring O' Records 1975. He is most notable for his song "A Dose of Rock and Roll" which was covered by Starr in 1976 for his album Ringo's Rotogravure. Starr's cover of the song reached No. 26 on the U.S. singles chart and stayed on the Billboard chart for nine weeks. He also released an album in 1977 called Face of a Permanent Stranger.

His other credits as a songwriter include Status Quo's "Down the Dustpipe", and "Lonely Winter", recorded by the Bee Gees in their Australian phase with Maurice Gibb on lead vocals, but only later made available on compilations such as Inception/Nostalgia and Brilliant From Birth.

Nancy Andrews, an American photographer who dated Starr in the late 1970s, named her photo book after the song "A Dose of Rock and Roll". (The book was released in 2008.)
