From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bad Company are an English hard rock supergroup formed in Westminster, London, in 1973 by two former Free band members—singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke—as well as Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell.[1] Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.
Bad Company enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s. Their first three albums, Bad Company (1974), Straight Shooter (1975), and Run With the Pack (1976), reached the top five in the album charts in both the UK and US.[2][3] Many of their singles, such as "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough", "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", and "Feel Like Makin' Love", remain staples of classic rock radio.

Not to disrespect any of the other awesome rock vocalists from that era (Plant, Daltrey, Winwood, et al.) - and it's only my opinion - but I always placed Paul Rodgers at #2 on my list, right behind Freddie Mercury.
Saw then at The Spectrum in Philly in 1973. Paul Rodgers sometimes played a Gibson Les Paul Junior. On one song he slipped on some cables and fell flat on his back. He was up and continued singing the song.
Ah, a blast from the past...
Wore the album out in college...ahem, then saw them live in SF at the Fillmore West....
Outstanding.....
BadCo was one of the greatest bands of its era.
GH compilations aren’t bad, but I’ve found many of my favorites from groups on the B side and typically not played on radio...
GH albums are convenient if all you want are the GH’s, but are also good money makers since many folks didn’t want to purchase separate albums for just a couple of songs.
Their loss.
