In the final moments of the series Breaking Bad, the song Baby Blue by 70's rockers Badfinger plays as the main character reflects on his life. It’s quite different - different from any record I’ve ever made myself. We’re just finishing up the liner notes now. I think it’ll be out in November, late November. We still do ‘em in the same keys, actually. And we open the show with it, actually - it’s such a great little number. Yeah, well, when we do a Joey Molland’s Badfinger show, we always do all those hits. This weekend I’m going to Panama City in Florida to do a big festival down there with Grand Funk and Cheap Trick and that stuff.Īre you preparing yourself for a lot of “Baby Blue” requests? I’m the only Badfinger guy left! I just came back from Japan - I did a couple of concerts in Tokyo. Who knows, maybe people will start looking at Badfinger records again. People getting interested in the band and the music is just great. But it’s certainly exciting, and I’m thrilled to be dealing with it. But you’ve got to take these things as they come, you know? It could be just a big flash in the pan. Well, it’d be nice! It’d be lovely to start selling a lot of records again. It’s great, you know? Today it’s in the charts, and yesterday it was kind of like an oldies record!Īre you anticipating a new generation perhaps discovering Badfinger for the first time? And I’m glad they used our version of it and not a recut of it. Well, I was really surprised! The song sounds great - I’ve always liked the record myself. So what was your reaction when your heard the song come on during the scene? I had an idea of what it was about, and I knew that last night was the last show in it - it’s all anybody’s really been talking about the last few days or week or so.
#MARY WELLS GREATEST HITS RAR TV#
I’m not really a big TV guy, to tell you the truth. I caught the last, like, ten minutes of it, where the guy gets shot and all that.
I was working around the house all day, packing up stuff for the Goodwill, and just doing mundane stuff like that. I was actually just catching the end of the show, really. So we had no idea it was going to happen. It’s a Peter Ham song, so Pete’s estate and the record label, publishing house - they’d communicate with them about it. #74 - Nowhere To Run - Martha and the Vandellas (1965) GordyĮW: Did you know beforehand that “Baby Blue” was going to be used in the finale? #75 - Friendship Train - Gladys Knight and the Pips (1969) Soul #76 - My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) - David Ruffin (1969) MotownĪ solo hit by the troubled Temptations singer, released between stints with the group. #77 - If I Could Build My Whole World Around You - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell (1968) Tamla #78 - Can I Get A Witness - Marvin Gaye (1963) Tamla one more way to keep the money "all in the family"!!!)
