wow, this was just after Pete Ham died right?

If Badfinger would have had better mmanagement in their beginning, who knows how much greater they would have been. Too bad.

@happygleason Exactly- like a lot of Badfinger songs as well. Beautiful melancholy.

I'm amazed at how much this sounds like Badfinger! I'd only read about the Dodgers; never heard them until just now.

@jvhsound There's a CD available called "Lost at Ebetts Field", on the Popmeister label, which has "Down" and loads of other excellent stuff on it including "Don't Let Me Be Wrong", which inexplicably failed to be the huge hit they deserved.

@gazzymodo Wow- after reading your post, I'd love to hear that song. You've sure whetted my appetite!

I love this videoclip and have watched it many times. Is this taken from the TV show Supersonic?

[happygleason]

Bob has a great voice. this songs a bit too sad for me however.

[marisha4sure]

Bob Jackson is the best person to keep the Badfinger flag flying and has a great voice. Although not an original Badfinger member, he has the essence of Badfinger.

Great song and performance.

Maravilhoso! Tenho um CD piratão com umas raridades do Badfinger com essas preciosidades do John Wilson. Estou procurando o LP. Valeu ; )
