"Simple Man" by Bad Company - Live At Wembley

Bad Company are an English rock supergroup that was formed in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, drummer Simon Kirke and bassist Boz Burrell. 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 the US. Many of their singles and songs, such as "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough" (1974), "Feel Like Makin' Love" (1975), "Shooting Star" (1975), "Burnin' Sky" (1977) and disco influenced song "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" (1979), remain staples of classic rock radio. They have sold 20 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and 40 million worldwide.

How can he sing like this after all these years? Insane.

[@peterbailey7265]

Bad company plus Paul should be in the hall of fame

[@chriskelly6559]

Their in mine.

[@jillstrait]

I was wondering about that too. I looked it up and Paul turned them down, he said rock n roll doesn’t belong in a museum.

Paul Rodgers Voice has never changed after all these years is one of the best vocalist ever

[@civildiscourse2000]

It changed for a while! From Wikipedia: "In 2016, Rodgers would suffer the first of two major strokes. The second, which came in 2019, greatly affected his speech and musical abilities. These, along with 11 more minor strokes, required an endarterectomy. He has since made a full recovery."

[@robschaller9061]

Team photo of the greatest Rock singers who who has ever lived... He and Plant and and perhaps Freddy Mercury

[@FreeMTrider]

It actually improved.....but then again, he has several tones and great vocal control. One of the best for sure.

[@jason7162441a]

For a man who was told he may never sing again Christ he’s unreal,the best around.

[@pandorasullivan777]

Fifty years ago at the age of 15, I bought my first car. I added an track stereo for my car. My first 8 track was Bad Company. I can’t believe how great Paul still sounds, his voice is timeless!

[@bigorange000]

Good God. Thank you for protecting this man. Unreal singer after all these years.

[@anthonystark6372]

Unreal. He looks like he has hit the gym big time. Well toned and in great shape. What a voice. Been a fan since i was 12, back in 82, my mother's record collection.

Look up All Right Now by Free -1970 !

[@Ron71997]

How can Paul's voice get better after 50 years of kicking it at every concert and every recording he has done. Is it just me or did his voice get better with age. This is amazing...gotta say my favorite all time song is Bad Company! These guys are timeless!

[@hawnyfox3411]

Ron : I wouldn't say his voice got "better" as he's ALWAYS been gifted with stunning vocal ability & delivery kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZi3Z417r9yDj5Isi=mRQXwv0MchDzkt2E However = His voice was superlative & at it's peak circa 1970 as evidenced by the superb capture, ABOVE Never better than when he was the lead vocalist of "FREE" - prior to Bad Co' Luckily there were many tracks captured at Granada T.V studios in Manchester & above, is one of them... Check out his suave moves in addition to his utterly sublime vocals & performance

[@mrray6983]

I think the song itself and being live adds a lot. Might be the best I've ever heard him too. It's criminal they aren't in the hof

What a singer. First saw/heard him with Free at Dartford College in the very early '70s (think it was '71). He sounds every bit as good now, more than 50 years later. The best blues rock singer by a large margin imho.

In st Louis we used to have an independent rock radio station. K-SHE 95. The 7 to midnight d-JAY was radio, Rich Dalton. In 1975, he told his listeners that Paul Rodgers had the greatest rock voice that the world could give us. Here it is... he was right.

[@copperheadh1052]

Around 1980, I rigged up an antenna on top of my parents house just so I coud receive KSHE, and plugged it in to a big pioneer stereo. We were 150 miles from Crestwood. Had some static during the day, but at night 🤘
