It was a double number one record that will forever be linked to greed and two suicides. It was Badfinger?s biggest song, yet most individuals have never heard this recording that closed out side one on their second (actually third counting the Ivey?s LP) album ?No Dice.?

Matovina's published account is not universally accepted as being accurate, as some posts below will indicate. For the other side of the story, see the comments after this post. As with every story, there are multiple sides that often conflict in details with each other.
