Thanks. Been trying to find the original recording and always end up finding a re-recording that frankly sucks.
I don’t know much about Badfinger. Were the Beatles involved with them, or did they just copy the style?

This is one of my all-time favorites. I remember hearing it (decades ago) and thinking it was The Beatles, and being shocked to discover it wasn’t.

Badfinger’s story is one of the sadder ones in rock history.

George Harrison played guitar and produced Badfinger’s hits. They should’ve stuck with the Apple label.

“No Matter What” is an archetypal piece of Power Pop, with a great bridge.

Beautiful song. Always loved it.

These guys served as one of the backing groups for George Harrison’s first solo album “All Things Must Pass”. The solo guitar work sounds like George.

Here's another great one from the same era that most people have forgotten about, because it was from a One Hit Wonder ---
Simone - by Henry Gross
Or actually a 2-hit wonder. His "Shannon" was popular on the radio, but Simone's my favorite.
And backing up into the late 60s, one of the all time greatest rock songs IMHO -
Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You

It’s been said that Badfinger essentially invented the Seventies Power Ballad with that song, as well as Baby Blue.
Joe Jackson also ripped it off in 1982, when he released: “Breaking Us in Two”.
Pete Ham is also a member of the 27 Club, alas.

Saw them at Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City .

And then there were one... the drummer passed a few years back, leaving only the bass player alive from a band that, at its peak, was reportedly selling more records for the Apple label than any artist, bar none (including the Beatles). After they got srewed by the embezzler they signed with after Apple collapsed, the two main songwriters died of suicide (one some years after the other). As a band, they were the precursors of and bridge to the power pop bands of the 1970s and early 1980s. My favorite of theirs, "No Matter What", has been covered by at least a couple bands, and the false ending of thair original version pretty much smokes every other song where it's been tried. :^)
