    Badfinger also got their name from Paul McCartney and John Lennon (in a roundabout way). John and Paul's song "With A Little Help From My Friends" that was sung by Ringo Starr on the Sgt. Pepper LP had a working title of "Badfinger Boogie". John had hurt his forefinger and was playing the piano keys using his middle finger in place of his forefinger. The boys liked the sound of "Badfinger" to replace their current name "The Ivey's" and the name was born.

    also, I think Paul was terrific. a perfectionist, yes, but you can't argue with great success. he did allow people a little wiggle room with their parts towards the end, and wasn't an absolute control freak.

    Originally, Paul went in early before a Beatles session and recorded all the parts himself on the demo. There is some bootlegs of that demo here on Utube. Badfinger did a great job with it. I loved that song when i was a kid when it came out. Paul was actually making fun of Allen Klein always telling the Beatles he (allen) could get them money or something they wanted for nothing. Of course, Paul was subtle about that kind of thing where John would have flayed the dude wide open with a composition.

    This sequence shows that the affableness of Paul is not just a front; he uses his good naturedness and ability to remain calm under stress to keep frustrations under control.

      Yes, there were a lot of takes, which would make people think Paul is being a perfectionist, but half-way through, he tells them that it would be better if they just fuck it. ie they need to loosen up and stop trying to copy the demo too closely. Plus he stopped the takes when HE fucked up, not to correct them.

    The Beatles sounded great demoing the song. If they hadn't given it away the bad finger we would think of it as a Beatles song. A Paul McCartney Beatles song.

      the Beatles actually never played this song for a demo. Only Paul did the demo as he would shortly do the same for the McCartney LP

    Such magic harmonies (curious are the vocals slowed too, or recorded to the slowed track?). Such sure and simple hit writing, and though his version would be great also, smart to turn it over to them and smart for them to take it, plus the new name!

    Toms voice is gold - with that hair and those sexy eyes. His songwriting and with Pete Ham who really should have stuck it out was magical. Their Without you song would keep them in guitar strings once Mariah Carey had a blockbuster with it. A permanent solution to a temporary problem - never the best way out. Artists though huh!

      Listen to the words. It's literally a song about Paul offering the band a chance and giving them a song (this song)

    Bad Finger turned down "It Don't Come Easy" because they thought they had grown out of accepting songs from Beatles, and wanted to be successful with their own songs. In the music business, if someone offers you a number one hit, you take it. Bad decision on Badfingers part.

      Just like the Beatles turned down How Do You Do It, a number one hit for Gerry and the Pacemakers. George Martin insisted the boys record the song and the lads resisted as it wasn't their style and insisted that they could write a hit song as well or better. Thus Please Please Me was the Beatle's first number one.

      However, it didn't get to number 1 on all the charts, which is why it isn't included on the number ones compilation album, titled 1.
