On this day in music history - The Very Best of Badfinger, by Badfinger (2000)

The Very Best of Badfinger

by Badfinger,

was released on October 23, 2000.

One of my very favorite bands of the 70s.

The band's story is very sad, but their music will be with us forever.

My all-time favorite song is Baby Blue, but also enjoy Come and Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, and Without You.

Give them a listen, or a re-listen. I promise you'll enjoy singing along as I and my husband do.

#BabyBlue #ComeAndGetIt #NoMatterWhat #DayAfterDay #WithoutYou
