Pete Ham was a songsmith of great depth and poiniancy. His well-crafted music should be honoured (albeit belatedly)for its relevance (even now), its beauty (both lyrically & musically)and its ability to transcend many varied styles perfectly. Pete and his bandmates never received proper recognition and respect, an industry-wide oversight that needs and deserves to be corrected. So, yes, Pete Ham to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Badfinger to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!
