Formed in 1973, British hard rock band Bad Company was a supergroup consisting of ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell, former Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and singers Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke from Free. Bad Company's debut album in 1974, released under Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label, achieved international success with the hit single "Can't Get Enough of Your Love."
Following successful albums like Straight Shooter and Run with the Pack, Bad Company experimented with their sound on albums like Desolation Angels and Rough Diamonds. In 1986, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke revived the band with vocalist Brian Howe, releasing albums like Dangerous Age and Holy Water. Despite lineup changes and various reunions, the original members reunited briefly in 1999 for The Original Bad Company Anthology before disbanding again.
