Badfinger was a rock band formed in Swansea, Wales in the early 1960s and was one of the earliest representatives of the power pop genre. During the early 1970s the band was tagged as the heir apparent to The Beatles, partly because of their close working relationship with the 'Fab Four' and partly because of their similar sound.

  • Badfinger was a rock band formed in Swansea, Wales in the early 1960s and was one of the earliest representatives of the power pop genre. During the early 1970s the band was tagged as the heir apparent to The Beatles, partly because of their close working relationship with the 'Fab Four' and partly because of their similar sound. However, Badfinger fell victim to some of the worst elements of the music industry, resulting in its two principal singers and songwriters committing suicide in 1975 and 1983.

  • Badfinger fue un grupo británico de rock frecuentemente considerado uno de los primeros del estilo llamado power pop. La banda fue exitosa comercialmente a principios de los años 70 y debido a su estilo similar al de The Beatles y a su contrato con el sello independiente de esa banda, Apple Records, fue considerada su posible sucesora. Sin embargo, una serie de problemas con sus sellos discográficos hicieron que sus integrantes no recibieran dinero pese al éxito de sus singles, por lo que tuvieron problemas económicos que llevaron sus dos principales compositores al suicidio, en 1975 y 1983.

  • I Badfinger sono stati un gruppo musicale rock fondato a Swansea in Galles nei primi anni sessanta, e primi rappresentanti del genere power pop. Il gruppo nacque nel 1964 con il nome The Iveys. Durante gli anni settanta il gruppo fu etichettato dai mass media con il prestigioso titolo di eredi dei Beatles, in parte per via dei loro stretti rapporti di lavoro con i quartetto di Liverpool, ed in parte proprio per via del sound simile. Tuttavia la carriera dei Badfinger ebbe una brusca frenata di arresto, quando i due principali frontman e compositori del gruppo, Pete Ham e Tom Evans, si suicidarono, rispettivamente nel 1975 e nel 1983. Ad oggi il loro brano musicale maggiormente ricordato è Without You, che nel corso degli anni ha ricevuto numerose cover.

  • Badfinger var et britisk rock- og popband som ble dannet i Swansea i Wales i 1965 under navnet The Iveys. På slutten av 1960- og begynnelsen av 1970-tallet ble bandet opphauset til å være arven etter The Beatles, blant annet på grunn av deres tette forbindelse til medlemmene i The Beatles. De fikk også kontrakt med The Beatles’ eget plateselskap i 1968, Apple Records. Etter deres første singleutgivelse, (Maybe Tomorrow), byttet The Iveys navn til Badfinger. Badfingers metoraktig stigning og fall har blitt stående som advarsel i det britiske rockemiljøet.
  • Badfinger foi uma banda britânica de power pop, considerada uma das mais promissoras bandas de rock do final dos anos 1960, fazendo parte da Apple (que apesar do fim dos Beatles ainda manteve-se na ativa). Experimentou o gosto do sucesso tanto na Inglaterra quanto nos Estados Unidos, mais até do que muitas outras bandas ousaram sonhar. Até 1969 chamava-se The Iveys, bem como uma das canções do álbum lançado naquele ano. Contaram com uma coleção expressiva de hits como Come And Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, Baby Blue, Without You, entre muitos outros mas, apesar de tudo isso, não conseguiram desfrutar do sucesso de seu trabalho, tendo uma história atribulada e até trágica. Após anos de turnês e inúmeros processos legais (que apenas serviram para enriquecer alguns advogados), os líderes criativos da banda - Pete Ham e Tom Evans - acabaram, em momentos distintos, cometendo suicídio.
  • Badfinger — британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в Суонси, Уэльс, и исполнявшая пауэр-поп (многие критики относят её к числу пионеров этого жанра в Британии). В начале 70-х Badfinger считались прямыми последователями The Beatles — как в стилистическом плане, так и в силу того обстоятельства, что группе покровительствовал Пол Маккартни (спасший её от раннего краха и спродюсировавший основные релизы). Badfinger получили контракт с Apple Records (cтав, как отмечает Allmusic, единственной группой экстра-класса, оказвшейся на этом лейбле), выпустили серию запоминающихся и успешных синглов (Come and Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, Baby Blue), но оказались жертвой — как нечистоплотности представителей музыкального бизнеса, с которыми вынуждены были иметь дело, так и трагического стечения обстоятельств. В результате двое основных авторов группы покончили с собой (Пит Хэм — в 1975 году, Том Эванс — в 1983), а Badfinger вошли историю как «самая неудачливая группа» всех времен. Возможно, известнейшую из песен Пита Хэма и Тома Эванса, «Without You», сделал знаменитой Нилссон, а позже исполняли Мэрайа Кэри, Фрэнк Синатра, Ширли Бэсси и многие другие.
