What happened to the start of the song ?

Love this -- I had the hots for Paul Rodgers for years. Saw him recently in concert -- he's still looking good.

Great, great voice. Jeez, Bad Co. had some really dumb songs with a third grade level of sophistication though. And it always bugged me that PR could barely play the guitar -- I always thought some record executive was like, you *have* to hold it and pretend you know how to play, the chicks'll dig it.

Awesome, Bad Company is not only great rock but it's still so fresh sounding all these years later. Must be great songwriting

I think Bad Co were produced better, and certainly managed better by Peter Grant. Of course, Swan Song under Zeppelin had it all over Island Records, who owned the Free material.

Free's back catalogue is among the hidden treasures of rock and roll, but the unit were young, brash, and ultimately unable to carry it forward in the mega-seventies arena era.

Rodgers and Kirke had the good fortune (and talent) to move themselves forward, while Paul Kossoff sadly mainlined himself to death.

Bad Co were great but Free would/should have been greater.

[jackery342]

A man totally in command of his immense talent.
