Editor's note

Badfinger's melodic rock from Liverpool

A British band known for straightforward songs like 'Baby Blue' and tangled legal history.

For a quick sense of Badfinger, listen to 'Baby Blue' from 1972. 'Take It All' gives you their earlier, straightforward rock side.

Badfinger's 'Take It All' and 'Maybe Tomorrow' showed how clean, melodic rock could sound in the early 1970s. Their song 'Baby Blue' became their signature track, but it got caught in a credit dispute with George Harrison. The band's story is as much about those financial and legal problems as it is about the music.

They came out of Liverpool in the late 1960s with Pete Ham on vocals and guitar. Albums like Magic Christian Music in 1970 and Straight Up in 1971 defined their sound before the difficulties started piling up. They kept recording into the mid-1970s, but Ham left in 1975.
