Trivia / Badfinger

• Colbert Bump: Received a boost in popularity when "Baby Blue" was used in the Series Finale of Breaking Bad.
• Creator Breakdown: Occurred twice: the first was Pete Ham's suicide in 1975, and later Evans' suicide in 1983.
• Development Gag: The name Badfinger was coined by Paul McCartney, taken from the Working Title of "With a Little Help From My Friends"—"Bad Finger Boogie", so-called because John Lennon had an injured finger when he and McCartney were working on the song.
• They Also Did: Members of Badfinger worked on John Lennon's Imagine and George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, as well as work as offstage backing musicians during The Concert for Bangladesh ^note They were, ironically, the only act billed at the concert that currently had a Top 10 hit; they would have performed onstage had Bob Dylan not turned up at the last minute to perform. Pete Ham even got to appear onstage to accompany George in an acoustic version of "Here Comes The Sun".
• Similarly Named Works: They released an album called Wish You Were Here a year before Pink Floyd did.
