Bad Company- Bad Company- Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke

I clearly remember  to this day the anticipation leading up to the time that the British band released Bad Company, that much-touted debut in May 1974. Easy to recall precisely because of the pedigrees of the young but, by then, veteran rockers Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke, ex- of Free; Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople; and Boz Burrell from a stint with King Crimson. Eventually Bad Company would occupy the #1 sales slot in the US, making Bad Company  one of the most successful debuts in rock history because of “Can’t Get Enough”,”Rock Steady”,”Movin’ On”,”Ready for Love”, “Seagull”, and the title song. 

Here is my classic rock interview from Rodgers, Kirke, and Ralphs just prior to Mick suffering that stroke in 2016 which eventually took his life.  May God bless the sweet heart and soul of Mick Ralphs. –Redbeard
