Badfinger was a Beatles creation, they had to have more than one hit.

I, yes, I was the one asking around about Badfinger... ignorant of any hits they had aside from No Matter... my bad.

Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day I feel the tears the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you ......
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you
I remembert finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you

Looks to me like something Phil Collins penned...

Hey, Badfinger had 4 hits - "Come and Get It," "No Matter What," "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue" - so I guess that makes them a 4-Hit Wonder

And half of those hits were on the '71 release Straight Up. One of the first albums I ever got and still a favorite. I think "Perfection" is one of Badfinger's best songs and I don't think it ever made the charts.

What about Danny O'Keefe "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" - I love that song.

Badfinger - No matter what you do, girl.

Dang! You beat me to it. Now I'm gonna have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I heard one of my favorites today I hadn't heard in a looooong time: Rosewood Bitters by Michael Stanley.

Didn't he also do "'This Town" (is my town/St. Louis/alright/love her/hate her/it don't matter/you gotta stand and fight...) At least that's how I remember the words from long long ago. I think the "St. Louis" part might have been thrown in there for our benefit.

Let's Get This Show on the Road was a great song too. I guess he wasn't really a one-hit-wonder after all.

I think the Connells had a number of excellent cd. Fun and Games and Boylan Heights are highly recommended. Lot of that Jangley stuff the REM seemed to have lost about that time.
