The word has become terribly overused but yes, in this case, it is clearly the simple truth. I’d add The Raspberries, Marmalade, and Dwight Twilley Band to the list as well 👍👍
This tears me up. I am utterly haunted by this band to the point where it sometimes hurts, but I love them so much that I would prefer suffering than living without their music in my life.
these guys were geniuses ... simply like that ... . I'd only heard three or four of their songs ... but their creative sense had no limit ... I've cried listening 'em ... they didn't deserve such a fate.
Im a HUGE Bee Gees fan and I adore their 1967-1972 ouput. The Ivets Maybe Tomorrow reminds me of those orchestrated ballads of the Gibb Brothers and its truly marvellous!
2:15 I really think that little grin shows Pete Ham to have been a lovely, lovely man. Only a really nice person could have written the lyrics he wrote. RIP Pete and Tommy. If there's a heaven, it's a better place with you two there. Hope you said hi to Stan as he passed by on the way down.
Stan Polley deserves to be rotting away in hell. Pete Ham was one of the best and he only did what he did because Stan Polley was a cruel, greedy, heartless man.
If I could time travel I'd totally go and visit them. And warn them not to sign with Polley. I had a dream about Pete the other day which was really vivid.
Badfinger- a name that is forever and The Iveys the predecessor a name that is forever. The music they made is some of the greatest in the entire world, but their history is so sad and gruesome and terrible. Joey Molland must be the loneliest man in the universe. All the other three are dead Pete and Tommy because they hung themselves. It's really a shame that their musical legacy has so much tragedy and sorrow in it. This is one of my favourite songs ever written. It also was covered a lot by other bands at the time and everybody loved Badfinger. It was financial woes and mental illness that did them in. Rest In Peace Pete, Tommy, and Mike Gibbon.
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum It simply doesn't get any better. You've opened my mind up to new directions and possibilities for my own late in the game career and I think something more like epic melodic pop/progressive pop/soul is what I'm gonna do. If it doesn't happen till I'm 40 a year from this April 28th I'll know I'm not going to be a metal singer. This is more the kind of song I'm good at singing. The heaviest I can see myself getting is Lawton era Uriah Heep. I just can't picture myself doing Judas Priest whom I love at 39 or 40.
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum We were meant to meet each other Jamie! Another Taurus! I'm born April 28 1976. Yes, that's my birthday. Last year sucked because I had bronchitis. Now I have such a bad pain in my mouth that blood is coming out of it and I need to see a doctor. I hope your Taurus/April luck is better than mine! I love April, though, beautiful time of year especially in England.
Oh Yeah! Tom Evans has always been my favourite Badfinger member and writer. I love Pete Ham too and Joey Molland wrote some fine songs but Tom Evans Maybe Tomorrow is one of the finest songs of the entire 60s!
Tom Evans is my favourite Badfinger/Iveys songwriter/ singer although Pete Hams genuis can't be overlooked. Joey Molland wrote some fine rockers and ballads too! Amazing songs. Amazing songs.
To imagine what more they could have been is so sad and to overthink the things that happened to the band and that soulless fool who decided to steal from them is depressing and shows how cruel letting greed take control of you does to you and the ones around you. All I can say is I thank them for all this wonderful input they had in music
They could have been a super band if greed and despicable management had not haunted them, but to me they are a super band, up there with the absolute best
Одна из моих самых любимых групп. Влюбился, как в девушку с первого взгляда. Безмерно жаль, что судьба бвла к нии столь жестока. И спасибо Badfinger за то счастье, которое доставила их музыка.
Such a precious melody ❤️ Fabulous composition, the band plays beautifully and whew!! - those vocal harmonies are sweeter than honey! Bravo, Badfinger! Bravo 🌹
Una canción preciosa,así descubrí a The Yveys, antecedente de Bandinger.Cuando recuerdo esto me pongo triste,qué tiempos tan felices,los de la música sixties mundial
Pop music reached its most stylish sophisticated stage in 1968 when bands such as The Iveys, The Casuals, Honeybus and The Left Banke delivered superbly crafted Baroque Pop music and Maybe Tomorrow is a gem!
e una pura poesia di amore e di speranza. quel mondo che si intravede in questo brano di sessanta anni fa, sarà forse una utopia,, ma forse domani, qualcuno lo vivrà.
1968. Pop bands still dressed in suits and ties. Very stylish! Heck, The Hollies were still dressing in matching white suits in late 1969! By 1970 however, bands were dressing more casually. Maybe Tomorrow by The Iveys is cutting edge Orchestrated Baroque Beat Pop!
Steffan Pila It's cool that this song "Maybe Tomorrow" reach No. 67 on the Billboard Chart in the U.S. Partially, because it was held back for a number of reasons by the Apple Records Label.
Agreed. The video is rather goofy, but the song rocks. I wonder if their manager ever got his just desserts? Such a shame about the singers of the band, this was a great group, I liked them a lot. Thanks for posting.
I've been beginning to listen to Badfinger since I first heard about them about 2 days ago. And I gotta say they have changed the way I listen to a lot music, recently. I really love their music and I was bummed out when I realized Pete and Tom commited suicide. I'm just somehow thankful for these guys for creating such beautiful classic rock music. And I'm glad I am now a fan of theirs.
"Maybe tomorrow"...The arrangement of this beautiful song inspired the Japanese band Tulip's arrangement of "Natsuiro no Omoide (Summer colored memory)", 1973. 🤩
Clever, sophisticated and soulful. A marvellous Baroque Pop ballad by Tom Evans and really SHOULD have given The Iveys a big hit in Britain but unfortunately it went unreleased there but it WAS released in Japan and certain countries in Europe.
It's sad that most kids today have heard of bands like The Eagles, The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin and others, yet Badfinger is still the best kept secret (except maybe other than The MC5) in music. Those who do know of them only comment on 'what could've been...'. Perhaps we should just focus on what they DID! Amazing music!
I am related to the drummer, Michael Gibbins,( half first cousin once removed ) but I didn't know until a few months before he died :( They were really great, and I wish they had had more success in Britain.
On 23 July 1968, the Iveys were signed to the Beatles' Apple Records label. Their debut worldwide single release was Maybe Tomorrow, which was a Tom Evans composition, written for his girlfriend in Liverpool, Leslie Sandton, who he used to date when he was a member of Them Calderstones. On 15 November 1968, Maybe Tomorrow b/w an Evans/Ham song And Her Daddy's a Millionaire was released in the UK on Apple 5. The US release date was 27 January 1969 (Apple 1803) and the song peaked at No. 51 on the Cash Box chart and No. 67 on the Billboard chart. In the Netherlands, it reached No. 1. It was also very successful throughout Europe and in Japan. In July 1969, this prompted the release of the Iveys' album Maybe Tomorrow being only released in those countries where the single charted high. The album was released in Japan, Italy and Germany only. The album contained the following Tom Evans compositions: Beautiful and Blue, Fisherman, Maybe Tomorrow and Angelique.
@@marleynettles5530 I was around for the whole ballgame, and know more about both groups than most. The Beatles discovered The Iveys and signed them to Apple records. The vocals on this tune by the Iveys is as good as any of the Beatles tunes
@@lorDavid27 You were around apparently but you’re much younger than I am. You shouldn’t claim that you know anything better than anyone. The only things we know or at least think we know come from articles online, books written by people who did real research or people who were close, and audio from the Beatles and Badfinger members. I did not say that the vocal work in this song were better or worse than any of The Beatles vocal work. We only have our opinions. My opinion is that I am very positive that none of us have heard everything these two bands ever did. The original comment was “This tune has better vocals than anything the Beatles ever did,and I am a Beatle fan.” I’m assuming he was just in the moment and exaggerating a bit or maybe he wasn’t. No one is factually better than anyone at everything. Everything is theoretical and/or opinionated.
In the year of emotional ballads(1968) and The Bee Gees and Honeybus were scoring massive hits, Maybe Tomorrow by The Iveys had every ingredient to make it a smash hit but it was sadly only released in Japan and a selected few countries in Europe.
This was the just the style of music that sent The Bee Gees, The Casuals and Honeybus to the top of the charts in 1968 so it's a mystery why The Iveys Maybe Tomorrow failed to get a proper release in the UK.
@ckycrew416 They looked liked the Beatles because they are closely associated with the Beatles, the first group that was signed by Apple Records and managed, controlled by the selfish Allen Klein who did not release their album in the UK and US. It is very popular in Italy and Asia esp in Japan because it was only released there. They could have been as popular as the Beatles.
PUT BADFINGER IN THE R&R HALL OF FAME OR IT'S A DISGRACE! Simply one of the greatest bands ever formed stunning songwriting and amazingly well arranged songs. Don't forget also R&R hall of fame The Fab Four were behind these lads. We all wish they were still with us and these lyrics weren't literal, but their music is immortal. Is there even a Badfinger Boxed Set? Shamefully underrated. Iconic music.
Apple Records unfortunately never ran that smoothly and they screwed up when not releasing this masterpiece in England 1968. It only was released in Japan and a few European countries.
I will never step foot in the rock and roll hall of fame until badfinger is inducted. one of the most under rated bands of all time
I will never stop until time travel is invented. These guys are the first on the 'fix it' list. Anything just to get them not to sign with Polley.
I hear ya. That organisation treats its members poorly as well. Iveys/ Badfinger was a great British band!
The word has become terribly overused but yes, in this case, it is clearly the simple truth.
I’d add The Raspberries, Marmalade, and Dwight Twilley Band to the list as well 👍👍
What about ELP or Grand Funk Railroad. The R&R HOF is now a joke! Rap artists country singers really?
one of the best songs that nobody knows!
I know this song and I just love it....glad someone else remembers
The best song the best people know
I know this song and I was born in 1998
They looked so happy here. What a tragic future awaited them. They deserved so much better.
Thank you, fellas, for some of the greatest songs ever.
You and your music will never be forgotten ❤️
In my opinion, Tom Evans masterpiece. Great vocals and just the finest melody ever written with haunting lyrics to match!
correct!!!
Agreed...I love this heartfelt ❤ song!
This tears me up. I am utterly haunted by this band to the point where it sometimes hurts, but I love them so much that I would prefer suffering than living without their music in my life.
Tommy Evans had the voice of an angel.

ONE HELL OF A TRACK FROM A VERY UNDERRATED BAND EVER GOD BLESS PETE TOM RIP XX
I was 13 then and I couldn't stop listening to this song. 50 years later....it's the same!
Gotta love Ron Griffiths goofing around! An outstanding song by The Iveys.
Pretty sure that’s Joey Molland
@@BaddaBing2001 No, it's definitely Ron. Joey would replace Ron several months later.
Their most beautiful song 🎵 in my opinion ❤
They could have been a super band if greed and despicable management had not haunted them, but to me they are a super band, up there with the absolute best
My mom got to see them when she was a teen as Badfinger. She said they were great in concert.
One morning I was awoken by a beautiful sound and it was this song
this song really hits hard when you know what was happening behind the scenes

I just love the music of Badfinger,what a great group of musicians!
I was born in 1998 and I love Badfinger. Their music is timeless and it makes me feel young. Badfinger and the music lives on forever.
Una canción preciosa,así descubrí a The Yveys, antecedente de Bandinger.Cuando recuerdo esto me pongo triste,qué tiempos tan felices,los de la música sixties mundial
I'd suffer , too, without music.
Cool that you love Badfinger...they are awesome!
this is one of my favorite songs
So good to hear this beautiful song🥰🥰🥰
They look like their having so much fun here. Man, I love these guys.
So glad i found this song so beautiful.
amazing song
I remember hearing this song on the juke box at the Prairie Moon years ago. I bought it when it came out on CD as the original LP is very rare.
Pop music reached its most stylish sophisticated stage in 1968 when bands such as The Iveys, The Casuals, Honeybus and The Left Banke delivered superbly crafted Baroque Pop music and Maybe Tomorrow is a gem!
2020.. my memories of this song still so vivid n my ears that ending scream
beautiful song!
i always loved this group as the iveys and badfinger!
very sad ending for the band!
such a great group of guys!
so very sad!
Hi Emily
I was born in 1998 and I love Badfinger
Tom Evans has always been my favourite Iveys/ Badfinger writer/ singer although I love Pete Ham too!
I always had a problem with hearing violins but seeing three guitarists and a drummer.
Always makes me laugh when the bassist (Ron) starts bowing at 1:44
@@dancingcheeseproductions4127 …. only one left....
One of the most (unintentionally?) hilarious music videos ever! Bravo!
That is because the You Tuber has dubbed the disc version over the video version.
I hear ya. But hopefully you do like what you hear!
...le nostre belle canzoni di un tempo!!!!
maybe Tomorrow i will love this song !
one of the best songs I've ever heard. it is so sad the end these talented guys have gone through. And so sad nobody knows them
e una pura poesia di amore e di speranza. quel mondo che si intravede in questo brano di sessanta anni fa, sarà forse una utopia,, ma forse domani, qualcuno lo vivrà.

I too

I think the world of Pete Ham and his songwriting abilities but to me, Tom Evans is my favourite Iveys/ Badfinger singer/songwriter!
Ron treating the bass guitar as a cello and Mike echoing his moves is hilarious! Maybe Tomorrow is late 60s pop at its finest!
One of Toni Viscontis earliest productions and arrangements. Baroque Pop perfection from Tom Evans skillful pen and expertly crafted by The Iveys.
They seem like the Beatles
Love their music
Yeah, that's b/c they had a hand in BF.
Such a sweet song!
Brilliant pop song by Tom Evans.

No.
Song of my week! Depresses me... But it also gives me a "Oh well" attitude. Hmmm
Ron was clowning around!
@SuperYantz Badfinger will live forever, unless we stop listening to their wonderful songs.
You can immediately see the influence of the Beatles just by the formation
Y cuando todavia no se llamaban Badfinger si no Iveys con el sello Apple de Beatles sonaban con esta rola buen recuerdo para esta banda..
Bellisima cancion,creo en España salio en un single,como The Yveys
