Joey Molland, the last surviving member of Badfinger, passed away at age 77 on March 1 due to complications from diabetes. Badfinger, originally formed as the Iveys, was one of the first acts signed to the Beatles' Apple Records. They gained fame in the early 1970s with hit songs like 'Day After Day' and 'No Matter What.' Molland reflected on the band's success, expressing gratitude for the opportunities they had. While Apple Corps, the Beatles' label, faced financial issues, Badfinger's success epitomized the experimental spirit of the time and the band's role in rock history.
"Badfinger gave me the opportunity to do everything a musician could want... I couldn't believe the luck we were having."
"Apple Corps was a high-minded, if financially dubious, initiative to tap the Beatles' millions to fund unknown talents in music, film and electronics."
