Named after the movie of the same name, Bad Company joined two members of Free (vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke) with guitarist Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople, and former King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. The chemistry was magical. The debut album also featured King Crimson saxophonist Mel Collins and background vocalists Sue & Sunny from The Brotherhood of Man.
The album came out during the summer of 1974 and I remember it getting heavy airplay on Pittsburgh’s top 40 outlets as well as the three AOR stations at the time. The album produced three singles: “Can’t Get Enough” that charted at 5; “Movin’ On” that peaked at 19; and my favorite, “Bad Company,” which failed to chart.
