    The beauty about the way music was released back in that era was that you would buy an album and listen to the entire thing front and back, over and over. Not every song was written to become a single, but to enjoy within the context of the whole album, an ebb and flow of energy and emotion. It was beautiful.

    This was about a trip they had to Vegas. From the last album before their original breakup. They reformed later. I’d pay to see Paul sing the phone book. He fronted the bands Free, Bad Company, the Firm, The Law, and had a stint with Queen . You want more of Paul’s piano playing “Running with the Pack” off the album of the same name. Or watch them play Bad Company live.

    When I heard "Alright Now" by Free on the radio, Paul Rogers became to me the epitome of what a rock singer should sound like--and he just continued to be that in Bad Company and later groups. Bad Company was very big in their day--always on the radio and very popular. But so were a lot of other bands of the time. In today's world they may not come up as much as some, but I wouldn't ever say that they were under-rated in their time.

Paul Rogers not in is a crime. Saw every Bad Co Tour from seventies through early eighties and they sounded like their studio recordings. Tight as sh*t. Regards 🍻

He did lead vocals on the songs Voices in the Wind, Sharing the Same Dream, How Long & Never Look Back on Tim Donahue's 1996 album, Voices In The Wind. Bad Company's 2008 live version of 'Ready For Love' from Hard Rock Live is awesome! The entire concert is killer & Paul sounds incredible during that concert, better than at Wembley in 2010 imo.

    I don't know how popular BC was on the west coast, but here in the upper parts of the south Bad Company was hugely popular. They were easily talked about alongside led Zeppelin and ZZ Top. My first boyfriend had been a big fan of ZZ Top and had started a pretty serious collection, by the time we started dating. I was a big fan of BC and had started a pretty decent collection of their albums, myself. We used to love to bring a record from our collection over to the other one's house and we would listen to both an album by ZZ Top and one of mine by Bad Company, we would listen to them both and pick them a part...the musicianship, the lyrics, what we supposed, made the band write what they wrote. Lots of beautiful memories associated with this one fellas'. Here's another one of their songs, if interested.

    Mick Ralphs, Bad Company’s lead guitar player, is without a doubt, IMHO, one of the most if not the most underrated/underappreciated guitar players of all-time. He’s in my top 10. (I don’t rank them within the top ten, except Duane Allman no. 1). I recommend Good Lovin Gone Bad by them next. Live For The Music is another good song by them to react to.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Paul live with Bad Company, Queen, in support of his solo catalogue and with other greats like Ann Wilson (Heart), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Jeff Beck, etc. and he always puts on a great show. One particular evening in the mid’90s, my buddy and I went to the Belly Up, a very small venue in San Diego, to catch Paul’s show. We got there early and while sitting at the bar, Paul came up and spent a few minutes talking with us. He is not only a great singer, but an good, humble human being.
    I recommend you listen to his material with The Law.

    Bad Company or" Free," (band) Paul's voice is distinct and memorable. He has a style unlike any other. In the late Sixties the "Hard" Rock sound began to emerge. "Free," was forefront on the progression. This is one Great big Album "Rabbit Hole," but here we go.
    The short time FREE,* with Simon Kirke on Drums, Andy Frazer Bass, Paul Kosoff Guitar, and Paul Rodgers Vocals, Piano, Guitar Percussion, were together, so many deep Blues gems like "Fire & Water" were present on each Album. Once the band broke up Rodgers, and Kirke, formed Bad Co.** rabbit hole #2
    Later Rodgers Teams up with Jimmy Page to form "The FIRM," ***#3 rabbit hole. I lost hearing at "The FIRM" sitting front row with industrial ear protection.
    Still again later Rodgers was asked to Front "QUEEN" after Freddies, departure.
    La, & Che, Happy Tunneling.
