No Matter What by Badfinger

From Swansea in Wales, this group actually had their first hit written by Beatle  Paul McCartney, and the  group was led by Peter Ham, who  hanged himself in 1975 following severe financial arguments and problems with his business manger Stan Polly, who himself died in 2009. Peter Ham would also be the co writer for the classic “Without You”.

Later in 1971 several members of the group would perform with George Harrison Lennon in Bangladesh, and George Harrison himself would become the groups producer later in 1971.

Ex Beatle George  Harrison, who died in 2001 from cancer, was later this year in Bangladesh to sing and meet Ravi Shanker.

This single came from his 1970 album “All Things Must Pass”, and the single is all about the Krishna God, but the record caused legal problems as it was claimed it was similar to an older record called “Hes So Fine” by The  Chiffons, however George said the song was actually inspired by the song “Oh Happy Day”.

Later George bought the rights to “He’s So Fine”, and had the last laugh.

    I am one of those baby boomer's, who had the pleasure, and the FUN to grow up in the amazing 1970s. The 70s music was so diverse, and the charts were for everyone from 8 to 80. That was when POP was fun, and the top forty really meant something as it was a shared experience. I have tried in this site to bring back the memories of the 70s, not just the pure pop, but also the heavy guys like Floyd and Black Sabbath. Everything had a place in the music of the 70s, and everything has a memory for one of us 1970s boomers.
