This day in music history.

April 23, 1975, Peter Ham, singer, songwriter with Badfinger committed suicide by hanging himself. The note he left read "Anne, (his girlfriend) I love you. Blair, (his unborn daughter) I love you. I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better. P.S. Stan Polley (his manager) is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me."
His suicide was followed eight years later by the suicide of his friend and fellow band member Tom Evens (He also hanged himself). Together, Ham and Evans wrote the classic hit "Without You". "Without You" would also be a hit for Harry Nilson and Mariah Carey.
Without You by Badfinger
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live, if living is without you
