From 7 November 1969: Recording: Stardust by Ringo Starr (beatlesbible.com):
The third recording session for Ringo Starr’s debut studio album, Sentimental Journey, took place on this day.
He taped the song ‘Stardust’ with George Martin producing. The session lasted from 7-10pm, and took place at Wessex Sound Studios in north London.
‘Stardust’ was made famous by Hoagy Carmichael in 1929, and was recorded by many other singers afterwards. Starr’s version was arranged by Paul McCartney, with assistance from George Martin.
The backing track consisted of strings, horns, piano, chimes, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and drums. Starr overdubbed his lead vocals on 14 November 1969.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
