On this day in music history - Baby Blue, by Badfinger (1972)

Baby Blue

by Badfinger

was released on March 6, 1972.

Baby Blue, by Badfinger, is without a doubt one of my most favorite songs ever.  

Since learning the band and bandmates' journey, after their most famous songs were released, hearing the song makes me sad, but I am also so thankful that Baby Blue, Without You, Day After Day, No Matter What, Come and Get It, and others are forever ours as reminders of great songwriters and songwriting from years past.
