In 1971, Tommy Evans and I were playing in Badfinger and signed to Apple. ‘No Dice’, ‘No Matter What’ and ‘Come And Get It’ had been hits and we were about to tour the world. #IMAGINE50 #timstwitterlisteningparty

Tommy and I played acoustic guitars on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album, and George recommended us to John. #IMAGINE50 #timstwitterlisteningparty

John came into the studio and played us ‘Jealous Guy’. We had brought our acoustics; mine a Gibson J50 and Tommy’s a Martin D41. We ran through the song once or twice, all very simple and natural. Tommy suggested a significant chord – a minor 9th or 6th. #IMAGINE50

Yoko suggested it needed an intro, which Nicky Hopkins came up with, and played so beautifully. #IMAGINE50 #timstwitterlisteningparty

After we recorded about three takes of ‘Jealous Guy’, John jokingly said, ‘You can fuck off now!’ But we didn’t want to. And it didn’t seem like he was throwing us out. So we stayed and played on ‘I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier’, too. #IMAGINE50 #timstwitterlisteningparty

It was one of the thrills of my life, having headphones on and John Lennon sitting five feet away, playing with us. The whole thing was magic. It was a magic thing that he had. The room got warmer when he was in it. #IMAGINE50 #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/f6NyJ1yuCF

#TimsTwitterListeningParty # John said he didn't think acoustics would work on I don't wanna be a soldier but we played along anyway, that ended up being what we got credit for doing, I was amazed they gave us any credit at all, Photos on the album too, incredible

In 1977/8 I was in a great power pop band from Detroit, called Straight Up. We had a big break with two regional hits that did well in Canada and the UK, "For You" and "Oh Yeah," that I wrote and sang, and I also managed the band.
I was looking for a producer for the LP we were recording in 1979, and brought in Joey Molland from Badfinger to write with me as well as produce our band. We soon cut the power-pop single "She's My Girl."
After this Joe invited us to Los Angeles to produce and co-write with me and John Thomas. Around this same time, I got calls from both Mike Gibbins and Tom Evans, also from Badfinger, who were both fans of Straight Up. In late 1981, Mike Gibbins joined Straight Up and moved from Wales to Detroit to live with me, in our Royal Oak home.
In early 1982 Badfinger's Tom Evans also joined the band and moved in at the same time. Tom wanted Joe to join the new band called The Twisters in early 1982.
Tommy really loved Joey Molland and wanted him to do the Badfinger World Tour 1982.
I wanted Joey to join our band, however, he was working on a film at the time with Paul Hogan on the movie, Crocodile Dundee in 1982.
Instead, management decided to reform Badfinger with me and Tom singing lead.

Ron Griffiths is the man all Badfinger fans know from his long stint in The Iveys. Blessed with an amazing voice and a skilled bass player, Ron sang on Ivey's classics such as "Dear Angie", appeared on hits like "Maybe Tomorrow" and even performed on "Come And Get It" NOT Joey
