Joseph Charles Molland (born 21 June 1947, Edge Hill, Liverpool) is an English composer and rock guitarist whose recording career spans five decades. He is best known as a member of Badfinger, the most successful of the acts he performed with. Molland is the last surviving member from the band\'s classic line-up. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.\n', 'Originally a member of several rock groups around Liverpool, such as The Assassins and The Profiles, Molland began his recording career in 1965 when he joined The Masterminds. This group released a single on Immediate Records IM 005, consisting of a cover version of Bob Dylan\'s "She Belongs to Me" backed with a band original, "Taken My Love". After this the group disbanded and Molland joined the backing group of The Merseys. Although never recording with them, he did accompany them on tour.[citation needed]\n', 'Molland\'s recording career began in earnest in 1967 when he joined Gary Walker (formerly of the Walker Brothers) for the group \'Gary Walker & The Rain\'. The Rain released several singles, an EP, and an album on the Polydor and Philips labels in the UK and Japan between 1967 and 1969. Titled #1, the album featured four Molland compositions and was especially well received in Japan, but a lack of success in their UK homebase caused the band to disband by 1969.\n', '
