🎼27 Apr 1947. Pete Ham is born Peter William Ham in Swansea, Wales, UK. He was the singer, songwriter and leader of the early 70s seminal rock band Badfinger.
He took his own life aged 27 😳 and he is unfortunately one of the many members of the so called "27 club", how many rock stars in history dramatically died at that age !!!
#PeteHam wrote for #Badfinger many songs that became worldwide known decades later, because covered by famous artists. I post in the Chat Room👇 "Without You". I'm sure everyone has heard this song at some point 🙂

I'm pretty sure everybody knows this song, as I'm pretty sure nobody knows the author(s).
Here's the original song in 1970 by Welsh unlucky rock band #Badfinger, after that more than 180 artists have made their own version... of course selling millions of copies!

🎼27 November 1970. George Harrison releases his masterpiece, his third studio album (the first after the #Beatles break-up) entitled All Things Must Pass: it's a huge work (a triple album in fact) where #GeorgeHarrison releases all his spirituality, his tremendous songwriting and his trademark slide guitar sound 🎸
Major artists appear as musicians and/or co-writers in All Things Must Pass, to name a few: #BobDylan, #BillyPreston, #GaryWright, #RingoStarr, #DaveMason, #PeterFrampton, the entire band of #Badfinger and Harrison's longtime friend #EricClapton 🤟
Here's the most famous and best selling song from the album, I'm sure everyone heard it at some point: "My Sweet Lord". It's also the most controversial song for 2 reasons:
1- Harrison was engaged in an endless lawsuit for copyright infringement by American songwriter Ronnie Mack who in 1963 had a n.1 hit called "He's So Fine". Harrison always claimed he never realized that and even offered huge compensation on "My Sweet Lord" sales.
2- Most people think the song is a prayer to God, it is a sarcastic invitation to abandon religious sectarianism instead! Harrison had embraced Hindu belief years earlier when tavelling to India, and in the song we can hear the typical "Hare Krishna" chant.
