Badfinger - Apple of My Eye (1973)

Experience Badfinger’s heartfelt ballad “Apple of My Eye” in this music video. Released in 1973 on their album Ass, this track holds a special place in the band’s history. Written by Pete Ham, the song was the final single the group recorded under Apple Records, the Beatles’ iconic label. The lyrics are steeped in both gratitude and melancholy—Ham was saying goodbye not just to a business arrangement, but to a chapter of their career tied directly to the Beatles’ mentorship.

“Apple of My Eye” stands out as one of Badfinger’s most poignant works, combining Ham’s emotive vocals with the band’s trademark melodic craftsmanship. Fans of classic rock often regard it as a bittersweet turning point: while it didn’t climb the charts as high as hits like “No Matter What” or “Day After Day,” its historical weight and emotional resonance make it a cult favorite.

This video brings the timeless energy of early 1970s rock back to life, reminding us why Badfinger is often hailed as the bridge between the Beatles’ legacy and the power pop movement that followed.
