He took the easy way out, he gave up fighting. He never had what it took to be best, so he quit. Pathetic really, but he was unbalanced and ended his life. History would have been far more kind to Badfinger had he kept up the fight instead they are viewed as a footnote...

Very good and interesting documentary.. Thanks for posting it kingzoso.

You are welcome. I also though it was a very good and interesting documentary. I think I might have to delve a little deeper and listen to more Badfinger.

Stan Polley was a very rare breed of c*nt. He actually got his secretary to ring up Pete Ham's wife a couple of months after his death to ask her to write a note exonerating Polley of any wrongdoing. I mean even among high profile con men, that's a new level of scummery right there. But at long last there is good news: with Polley now dead and the legal issues with Apple, Warner Bros. and goodness knows who else having finally been resolved a couple of years ago, the Pete Ham estate now receives full songwriting royalties due to them, with the particularly lucrative 'Without You' bringing in up to $200,000 a year on the back of the highly popular Nilsson and Carey covers. So at least now, it wasn't all for nothing.
