One of the original signings to the Beatles' Apple Records label, Badfinger had its first hit single with a Paul McCartney penned song, "Come and Get It", which went to #7 in the U.S. charts. They followed this with their own compositions "No Matter What", "Day After Day" (produced by George Harrison), and "Baby Blue". The band played on John Lennon's Imagine album and joined George Harrison for the Concert for Bangladesh. VH1 produced a "Behind the Music" documentary about the band, whose songs continue to heard in films (e.g., The Departed), on television (including the Breaking Bad finale), and on the radio. Harry Nilsson's chart-topping version of Badfinger's "Without You" was featured in the 2016 film "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot".
