#BABY BLUE SONG BADFINGER SERIES#
The song experienced a resurgence of popularity in 2013 when it was featured in the television program Breaking Bad during the closing scene of the series finale. Although the single was assigned a release number for the UK (Apple 42), and had a scheduled release date of 10 March 1972, "Baby Blue" was never actually released as a single in the UK. While Apple US gave the song a picture sleeve and a remix to ensure that it was a hit, Apple UK remained unaware of its commercial potential. However, the chaos that was enveloping the Apple UK operation at the time was strongly evident with regard to this song. It was the group's last Top 20 single, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. Because Al Steckler, the head of Apple US, felt that it needed a stronger hook in the opening, he remixed the track with engineer Eddie Kramer in February 1972, applying heavy reverb to the snare during the first verse and middle eight. "Baby Blue" was released as a single in the US on 6 March 1972, in a blue-tinted picture sleeve and featuring a new mix. Ham wrote the song about a woman named Dixie Armstrong, whom he had dated during Badfinger's last US tour.
