The powerful rock ballad Without You, which was covered nearly 200 times and was a massive hit for both Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey, was orginally by the Swansea-Liverpool band Badfinger, an early signing for the Beatles’ Apple label. Playing guitar on that recording, from the band’s second album, No Dice (1970), was Joey Molland, who has died aged 77.
As well as their own recordings, Badfinger, including Molland, acted as session musicians for the individual Beatles, playing on John Lennon’s Imagine album, George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, and Ringo Starr’s hit single, It Don’t Come Easy.
