50 years ago, Bad Company formed from the ashes of Free. Super fine singer, Paul Rodgers & drummer Simon Kirke were joined by ex-Mott The Hoople guitarist, Mick Ralphs & former King Crimson bassist, Boz Burrell to become Bad Company. Paul Rodgers undoubtedly has one of the best singing voices ever, as heard in this song. It’s taken from the debut Bad Company album, entitled ‘Bad Company’ and the song is called… “Bad Company”!
