George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh was an unqualified success, and the first-ever pop concert for charity.

Forget the clichรฉd rock star tropes. That snake wasn’t just a prop; it was a statement. It was danger, seduction, and a dash of subversion wrapped in scalesโkind of like Harry herself.

George Harrison championed them, Paul McCartney produced their debut hit, and Apple Records signed themโyet the Iveys (soon to be Badfinger) nearly vanished before they began, victims of internal rifts and corporate reshuffling.
