Hailed as the new Beatles but "mismanaged and exploited beyond the bounds of human decency" Badfinger's thankless career drove two members to take their own lives. Badfinger could have been huge. What’s more, the band’s connections with The Beatles once earned them the tag of ‘the new Fab Four’. But instead, despite writing and recording some wonderfully memorable music, Badfinger went down in the annals of rock history for all the wrong reasons. Most people who remember the band today

In 1977, the SANFORD-TOWNSEND band's “Smoke from a Distant Fire” raced up the charts, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. They seemed to come from out of nowhere, and just as suddenly, they seemed to disappear; the band was never again to have a Top 40 hit. But as my interview with co-founder JOHNNY TOWNSEND reveals, they had paid their dues for more than a decade before they reached that pinnacle of success in ’77, and both Townsend and Sanford have been far from inactive since.

They were clad in Civil War-era get-ups (complete with fictitious military ranks) and they became an overnight success. Gary Puckett was born in the same town where Bob Dylan went to high school. He
