An English rock supergroup that was formed in 1973, Bad Company consisted of two former members of Free, singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott The Hoople and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. Peter Grant, who managed Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.
The band 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 the US.
Many of their singles and songs, such as Bad Company, Can’t Get Enough, Good Lovin’ Gone Bad, Feel Like Makin’ Love, Ready for Love, Shooting Star and Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy remain staples of classic rock radio. They have sold 20 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and 40 million worldwide.
Rodgers has subsequently enjoyed further success as a solo artist and sometime member of Queen.
