Their story is so sad; they got screwed out of royalties by bad management, and it ultimately led to Ham and Evans both committing suicide.

But they had some good tunes, particularly "Come And Get It". And Ham and Evans wrote Harry Nilsson's #1 smash "Without You".

Yeah, I saw one of the suicides mentioned and chose not to read further. You've confirmed what I suspected.

Nice one! Check out some Todd Rundgren, bet you would dig his early stuff like The Nazz and Utopia. Also Bread, look up Bread!! Badfinger did leave a legacy, too bad it had such a dark and early demise. Cheers and thanks for the nod! Happy to turn people on to some cool music. :)

LOVE Badfinger! Lovely Welsh lads and yet to my ears sound a lot like their Apple Liverpudlian sponsor and producer, Mr. George Harrison.
