I have always said Paul Rogers is the only singer of his generation that has been able to sustain his vocals right the way through his career, The man is still absolutely unbelievable 👏👏👏👏👍
I agree, but Glenn Hughes is no slouch these days. I've seen both in recent years, and they both have voices that men of their age shouldn't have. Golden voices of Rock! So blessed to have them both!
Historical years of great rock, better era for peace, arts and rising justice for all, and only the love among the sons and daughters of light. Bad Company should regroup for a world wide tour. God willing
It’s very rare that a vocalist can perform on stage as good as in the studio. Paul Rodgers doesn’t miss a note, absolutely awesome blues/rock singer, God given talent, still to this day sounding as great as ever. The band also deserves huge respect, Mick Ralphs & Simon Kirke for their longevity! British is best!!!!!!
Born March 12 1961,by heck i was as lucky as you,so many great bands, we were so blessed,my daughter is 27 and one of her favourite records is Shooting Star,so glad the old man's tunes rubbed off on her.
+gueronva, no friggin doubt! I couldn't agree more, so let's hope that he'll be recognized one day soon by the entire music industry for the talent that he has! Damn, he still kicks ass with that voice, and it's just as strong as it was in the 70's
Rock music at it’s most finest, what an incredible vocalist, the LEGENDARY PAUL RODGERS. Also I believe Mick Ralphs is a very underrated guitarist & songwriter as he wrote quite a few of their massive hits. All in all, one of the very best hard rock/blues rock bands of all time. Their live or studio sound is absolutely amazing, it kicks serious butt!!!!!
20 years off grid. Grow my own food and medicine. No naibors. Dept free! Simple Man living on the land! Thank you Bad Company for inspiration so long ago. I made it!
I recall first hearing Paul's voice in when he was with "FREE" in 1970's when I was about ten, and I was hooked on Bluesy Rock & Roll ever since. I have been fortunate to have grown up listening and signing to the maturing legend in real time. This song is a reflection of their style, pure and simple. Thank you so much Paul Rogers, Simon Kirk, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell, Peter Grant, Todd Ronning, Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser. Thanks for the memories.
Best live rock band I ever saw was Free. They hardly had any gear back then either. A few four by 12's a few Marshall's and a very basic P.A. I don't think that they had stage monitors either. And they sounded great. I'm Guildford once they turned on the house lights to try and stop them and they rocked on. Lighting in a bottle. Koss was pure magic. They all were.
Grew up and growing old with these guys.... Freedom is the only thing that means a damn to me.... Freedom is the only song... Sing a song for me .. Always reminds me of my Dad's Purple Heart...WWII
I swear he gets better and better with age, so many artists lose their pipes when they age but not Paul! His voice is incredible! And damn, he is so fit!
janice schiffman . He's like Mick Jagger. Really looks after himself, and I agree Paul's voice just gets better. Best rock voice in the world in my opinion
I LOST MY HUSBAND ON DEC 1 2013 AND I HAVE TO TELL ALL THAT FRED AND I GOT TO SEE BAD CO SIX MONTHS AGO AND THIS SONG IS MY HUSBAND TO THE TEE HE WAS JUST A SIMPLE MAN AND WORKED HARD WITH HIS HANDS 7 DAYS A WEEK 12 HOURS A DAY TO THE LAST DAY
Your losses are great but mine are greater. I lost my family, my dog got run over and kilt 2 days before my separation and my cat got hit by a car and kilt the night before my separation and I taught my youngest daughter to ride a bicycle the same day that I separated from my wife. She left me or another man but he is realizing now what he has got into. I can see he is not filling my shoes. lol. lou nac!
sorry to hear about your losses..fred and i were married going on 35 years we have 4 children together, and one grandaughter and a grandson on the way within the next two weeks three weeks after my husband passed my brother in law passed away his sisters husband, my daughter's boyfriend diagnosed with testicular cancer, another friend of ours passed away last month, and a family friend her father got killed had a heart attack while driving..these losses no matter what they are , are very bad..life sucks but im sorry that you lost your family, i hope you get to see your daughter on a regular basis because she is now the most important person in your life..you sound like a very caring person too..well look at it this way its her loss not yours..but make sure you never lose that contact with your child..i have 3 dogs and 2 cats we had a pet snake he passed away..my cat drowned in my pool and she was 16 years old..my god you just never know what life has in store for us...
Best version...Live or Studio...ever done. I'm a Rodgers/Ralphs fan going back to the early 70's (FREE and MOTT the HOOPLE)..Rodgers has never ceased to amaze me since I've beem 11 yrs old. I saw him less than a month ago....PAUL RODGERS delivers like it were still the 70's. His voice remains completely intact despite his years.
Its not just the longevity or his voice but look at him..hes got the body of a 30 year old..he keeps himself fit physically fit and that will carry over into everything else in his life..Monster rock star!
This is an outstanding live performance of this amazing song. The inflections in Paul's voice when he goes for the note is where his genius lies. Hes hitting the note but above it and below it as well and all at once it seems! What a great band they were....many great memories of discovering life in my teenage years while Bad Co was on the car radio!!
I worked as a farm worker for 15 years then bought a ruin of a farm in wales ,worked and worked but sang simple man to myself now old with such fab memories of bad company and life ....
I was a freshman in H.S. in 74' when Bad Company " "Bad Company" came out... Saw them 3 times in the 70's in Texas... Paul.and the boys blew the place apart everytime! One of my greatest memories of all time!!! KUDO'S
I think this is the best I've heard him sing this, His expression and control and soul is amazing. The whole band seem to have felt something special here also. Thank you
I have been listening to Bad Company since the 70's and Paul Rogers has the same depth to his voice as when he sang with Free!!!! The man is timeless!!!!!!
Mark and I loved Paul Rogers. We had every Album,every cassette,every Cd. Now The love of my life is gone,and all I have is memories and good music We shared. I miss you My Dearly Departed 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼❤️
Play the heck out of this cd have it in my car all the time. The rock and roll hall of shame is a joke when rap and dance get in but bands like this have been black balled for some reason
Paul Rodgers can sing to me any time of the day or night! Love him and Bad Company has always been in my top 5 bands. They are soulful, sexy and can rock out to the max! Not sure how his voice has only gotten better thru the years but he rocks my world, for sure!
Paul Griffiths in the name of jesus....that asshole at naval base gate.....please shoot him dead........when I had gone with my uncle to naval base kochi...that guard at gate was a racist.....
@@themiskulaniuschannel9762yes 11 minor strokes and 2 major strokes and was unable to speak, it's a miracle paul got back to performing and in my opinion the best rock vocalist ever. Been a fan from the beginning but have only seen them once live back in the 70s.
WONDERFUL voice. Full of warmth and he controls it so well. Love his stage presence. He should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He has aged very well. Somebody really needs their head read that decides who goes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have no idea how to judge a really good artist. And he is fit and looks after himself and his body. I find him quite gorgeous.
I have always said Paul Rogers is the only singer of his generation that has been able to sustain his vocals right the way through his career, The man is still absolutely unbelievable 👏👏👏👏👍
I agree, but Glenn Hughes is no slouch these days. I've seen both in recent years, and they both have voices that men of their age shouldn't have. Golden voices of Rock! So blessed to have them both!
The finest rock singer ever in my opinion...
Paul Rogers and Glenn Hughes
th-cam.com/video/MKz6fiaZPcI/w-d-xo.html Not the best recording, but not the worst.
Tommy James still sings every note to every one of his songs in the original keys
Lady's and Gentleman Paul "the voice" Rogers....this is the voice of Classic Rock...one of the best vocalists to ever live
d
Thought I would supply the missing letter!
Well said Harley. Couldn't agree more.
No 1 best live vocalist you will ever see and listen to in a lifetime.
@@portcullis5622
What missing d ? Isn't one
@@bryanleigh6497 It is Rodgers.
People around my age have had the privilege of having THEE BEST music ever!
Would like to see some new Bad Co music
i agree
Go buy Bad Co on vinyl or don't buy nothin!
The thing about music is we *all* have it forever.

Very few can maintain such a stellar voice for as many years as Paul has. 50 years later still sounds Awesome.
Historical years of great rock, better era for peace, arts and rising justice for all, and only the love among the sons and daughters of light. Bad Company should regroup for a world wide tour. God willing
It’s very rare that a vocalist can perform on stage as good as in the studio. Paul Rodgers doesn’t miss a note, absolutely awesome blues/rock singer, God given talent, still to this day sounding as great as ever. The band also deserves huge respect, Mick Ralphs & Simon Kirke for their longevity!
British is best!!!!!!
Bad Company is one of the best rock groups ever. And one of the most under rated. Every album had great songs and live they were amazing.
Do what ya do! You rock!
@@lisadesley8670 yep
I love Bad Company 70s... Great band. I have LPs vinyls.
Paul Rodgers never ages!!
@@fredericogobbi q
Bad Company never got the recognition they deserved. Fantastic band, great music too.
I'm 61 and I've followed this amazing band since I was 16.
What a career, what talent, and what a video thanks for sharing.
Born March 12 1961,by heck i was as lucky as you,so many great bands, we were so blessed,my daughter is 27 and one of her favourite records is Shooting Star,so glad the old man's tunes rubbed off on her.
I'm 60 and fan of BadCo since I bought the record Run With The Pack. Paul Rodgers is an amazing good singer !!
Right their with you Paul. Saw them in 1975, What a great band. Soo tight and Rogers singing is the best. Rock on BC!
He's amazing I was 17 an still get chills listening to their music. Can't say enough good things . Thank You Bad Company for your music!!!
same :)
If Paul Rodgers belted out "Come to supper" half the world would show up. What a voice.
with bells on brother!!!
That’s great 😃👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Born...1960...
70's rock ....
The Life!!
😀💟🎤
I sure would Tony, and bet the dinner would be alot of fun, with good English food, not bad !
His voice damn sure has a solid range.
Paul is one of the greatest singers in music history.
Audience captivated in silence with the sounds of true classic rock that is not produced anymore
Та Вы шо ? 😝
What A Strong Voice...After all these years too! This Man Deserves To Be In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame...NOW! SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE MANY YEARS AGO.
+gueronva, no friggin doubt! I couldn't agree more, so let's hope that he'll be recognized one day soon by the entire music industry for the talent that he has! Damn, he still kicks ass with that voice, and it's just as strong as it was in the 70's
he's a waste on Queen. paul rodgers is too good for that band
gueronva true that
He will always live and sing forever in My Hall of Fame
TheRgraziano I can't think of a bigger joke than rnr hof
Keep on singing I listen every day. Never get tired of it. Paul is bad ass no body can sing like him. The whole group is great
100 % > P.R. = No Need for Public Relations . . . The Voice > SPEAKS < for Itself . . . Legend !!
Rock music at it’s most finest, what an incredible vocalist, the LEGENDARY PAUL RODGERS. Also I believe Mick Ralphs is a very underrated guitarist & songwriter as he wrote quite a few of their massive hits. All in all, one of the very best hard rock/blues rock bands of all time.

TRUTH.
Doesn’t hurt having Howard Leese around either, another underrated talent, to say the least.
Paul Rogers sounds as great as he did 40 plus years ago! Awesome vocals
AND HE LOOKS FRIGGING AMAZING! I love these guys always have
To the younger fans of classic rock......THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!
Amen!
totally agree. This is how its done.
amen Amen AMen AMEn AMEN. and HOLY MOLY I LOVE THESE GUYS.....
First time i hear this song.fuking good
thanks
Don't matter where you are in this world, you hear these vocals you know it can only be one man. From day one till today he has never changed
Paul Rodgers, one of the absolute best Rock singers ever! He was 60 years old here. What a badass dude!
Paul has THE most recognizable and quality voice in music history.
Obviously not. That is not Paul Rogers.
20 years off grid. Grow my own food and medicine. No naibors. Dept free! Simple Man living on the land! Thank you Bad Company for inspiration so long ago. I made it!
But need the internet. 💜
I recall first hearing Paul's voice in when he was with "FREE" in 1970's when I was about ten, and I was hooked on Bluesy Rock & Roll ever since. I have been fortunate to have grown up listening and signing to the maturing legend in real time. This song is a reflection of their style, pure and simple. Thank you so much Paul Rogers, Simon Kirk, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell, Peter Grant, Todd Ronning, Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser. Thanks for the memories.
When I was a kid, my first purchased 45 record was "All Right Now", by Free, and I still love Paul Roger's!
Best live rock band I ever saw was Free. They hardly had any gear back then either. A few four by 12's a few Marshall's and a very basic P.A. I don't think that they had stage monitors either. And they sounded great. I'm Guildford once they turned on the house lights to try and stop them and they rocked on. Lighting in a bottle. Koss was pure magic. They all were.
Had to revisit this clip today......David did you ever listen to The Firm? Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page......Satisfaction Guaranteed
@@beth3531 No I don't recall "The Firm". Wow, I am checking them out now,..Thanks for sharing that.
@@davidakin9629 What did you think? Jimmy Page really stands out in this song.
Grew up and growing old with these guys....
Freedom is the only thing that means a damn to me....
Freedom is the only song...
Sing a song for me ..
Always reminds me of my Dad's Purple Heart...WWII
My god, this is amazing!
I swear he gets better and better with age, so many artists lose their pipes when they age but not Paul! His voice is incredible! And damn, he is so fit!
janice schiffman truth!
janice schiffman if you think he's fit you should check out his wife I believe she's an exercise guru
janice schiffman #Elvis💪💋
janice schiffman He looks & sound mighty fine 💯
janice schiffman . He's like Mick Jagger. Really looks after himself, and I agree Paul's voice just gets better. Best rock voice in the world in my opinion
What a brillant performance. Hats off!
Believe in ME like I believe in you

Oh my God, this song has soooo much more meaning now then it ever did, sing it loud brother!!!
Words can't say how good he is. Great

One of the greatest voices in Rock n Roll.
im a drummer
Ivan Escoto my favorite color is red
One of the greatest bands
LOL
referring to Gabe's comment
He was voted best rock and roll Male vocal in the world
Paul Rodgers and BC will never lose their magic...
Paul is one of the only singers from this era who has maintained his vocals. Just impeccable. 💜
old drifter wish i had a cigarette beer
@@tobahaverkamp5188 I'll substitute Jack for the beer , oh hell, Ill take them both.
A legend always a legend bad co. No doubt
These "old guys" are so fresh
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i can listen to this song for hours, days,weeks, months, years and it will never get old
Having Howard Leese from Heart add to this was awesome... He and Mick Ralphs did a great job.
Paul Rodgers voice is still one of the very best in rock music. He is a legend & his music will be listened to forever.
I agree with you man! Paul Rogers' has kept his voice over the years and a great lead singer of all times.
Like fine wine...his voice gets better with time. True God given gift!!
Same thing I said when I shared it...just amazing!!!
Simple Man is my favorite song by BC because it's an Anthem to the working 💪 Man that carries this great nation and every other free society!!!
Sung like he means it: the music, the lyrics, the voice in perfect synchrony. You can tell his heart and soul is in it. Exceptional.
Paul Rodgers has one of the few best voices in rock that are left...Period!!
So true and he's especially awesome at his age.
Donna Burck I agree, his voice is phenomenal. Plus he’s sexy as hell.
Best version...Live or Studio...ever done. I'm a Rodgers/Ralphs fan going back to the early 70's (FREE and MOTT the HOOPLE)..Rodgers has never ceased to amaze me since I've beem 11 yrs old.

Love, thank you for your awesome music and the great memories in my life..I am just a simple man....for sure it's me....🥰
He has taken good care of his voice. still killin' it.
His voice gives me chills....Still has it. After all theses years.
Its not just the longevity or his voice but look at him..hes got the body of a 30 year old..he keeps himself fit physically fit and that will carry over into everything else in his life..Monster rock star!
Ladies and Gentlemen this my friends is Rock and roll at its finest. Paul Rogers has the voice of an angel
Ed Keene The VOICE
Ed Keene, I wish I could like your comment a million times babe.
Damn.. Paul still has one of the best voices ever. And age has only improved his body! Our generation had the BEST music EVER!
Try my channel lisa
Nothing better than this
Guitar solo in the intro is absolutely crisp, clear, and sounds so beautiful.
I saw Bad Co several times in the seventies always excellent and the Firm awesome concert
Been loving this man and this band since 1972 or so! They never get old to my ears!
This is an outstanding live performance of this amazing song. The inflections in Paul's voice when he goes for the note is where his genius lies. Hes hitting the note but above it and below it as well and all at once it seems! What a great band they were....many great memories of discovering life in my teenage years while Bad Co was on the car radio!!
holy crap - just stumbled on this. These guys are still rocking the right way. Very impressed by this! Still got the magic.
Spot on

I was a freshman in H.S. in 74' when Bad Company " "Bad Company" came out...
Saw them 3 times in the 70's in Texas... Paul.and the boys blew the place apart everytime! One of my greatest memories of all time!!! KUDO'S
One of my favorites from Bad Co. and this being live is Bad ass!
This is how it's done! Paul Rodgers, the man, the legend.
I just love Simon Kirke’s drumming and he has such a simple kit with a strong sound. My favorite band.
you got that right
He played bass brilliantly
Love the voice and the memories. Sounds as it did the first time I fell in love with this band and Paul the man.
one of the best bands to hold that sway over people right from the beginning, top class, love them.
Best all time singer- Mr. Paul Rodgers
Paul Rodgers is like wine. The older the better. I've been listening for years, a lot of years, and every time I'm thrilled.
Saw them in 1975 in The Hague as well as at Wembley 2011. Always has been one of my favorite bands. Damn, what a great voice he still has!
Fucking awesome!!!!
I love Paul Rodgers and Bad Co for now 50 years. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I think this is the best I've heard him sing this, His expression and control and soul is amazing. The whole band seem to have felt something special here also. Thank you
The performance was simply flawless
Gotta love BAD CO. I seen them is s.l.c.u. in 75 and I have been a very big fan ever since the . I'm only 63 now and still rovking.
I have been listening to Bad Company since the 70's and Paul Rogers has the same depth to his voice as when he sang with Free!!!! The man is timeless!!!!!!
Nobody compares to rogers both his soul an body never get old ;yes man freedom u can t fake it but u have to make it !!
When they say nobody does it anymore like they did in the 70's. Just pull this one up.
Marty C Nobody can cuz they are still Bad Company
Bad Co..No Bullshit 70s rock at its powerful best..Still lives on
Mark and I loved Paul Rogers. We had every Album,every cassette,every Cd. Now The love of my life is gone,and all I have is memories and good music We shared. I miss you My Dearly Departed 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼❤️
Leila Josey I’m crying for you! Literally brought tears! Sorry for your loss. Hold on to your memories!
Leila Josey so sorry for yur loss.
Play the heck out of this cd have it in my car all the time. The rock and roll hall of shame is a joke when rap and dance get in but bands like this have been black balled for some reason
The legendary Bad Company and Paul Rogers! Perhaps the most overlooked classic rock band of all time.
Nice touch mick Ralphs. Masterful as always
I've never heard a song that cry's out as loudly as simple man for some screaming soulful epic guitar solo ...
Great song , great band!!!
the greatest blues rock vocalist of all time.......pure class
I have loved this song for long that I can't get ❤enough.
Paul Rodgers can sing to me any time of the day or night! Love him and Bad Company has always been in my top 5 bands. They are soulful, sexy and can rock out to the max! Not sure how his voice has only gotten better thru the years but he rocks my world, for sure!
Paul Rogers best rock voice ever, end of story
Nearly as good as mr frankie miller the voice ask rod stewart
Paul Griffiths in the name of jesus....that asshole at naval base gate.....please shoot him dead........when I had gone with my uncle to naval base kochi...that guard at gate was a racist.....
I agree!
Paul Griffiths He’s great plus he’s sexy as hell. Voice that could melt butter. Yum
True that man 👍🏼
One of the most beautiful songs from this fantastic band.
Listening again from AJ Az, and it’s hot as Fk.
This music makes it a little more bearable... Thankyou Rodgers and Co... good stuff.
Is this your favorite band or what?
The best voice in rock in the last 40 years.
Incredibly wonderful voice
In my opinion the best and most powerful voice. Paul Rodgers.
No wine has aged so fine as this man's voice has, incredibly beautiful, timeless and heaven sent.
Paul obviously looks after himself - great voice, great physique, great band behind him. No wonder the longevity, cool all around!
Paul is incredible and I agree with you ...And even after his strokes he has come back strong as ever...no stopping this singing machine....❤❤
@@themiskulaniuschannel9762yes 11 minor strokes and 2 major strokes and was unable to speak, it's a miracle paul got back to performing and in my opinion the best rock vocalist ever. Been a fan from the beginning but have only seen them once live back in the 70s.
OMG.. i love your voice paul rodgers😍😍😍
Great song great times great voice Paul Rogers is number one for me
WONDERFUL voice. Full of warmth and he controls it so well. Love his stage presence. He should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He has aged very well. Somebody really needs their head read that decides who goes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have no idea how to judge a really good artist. And he is fit and looks after himself and his body. I find him quite gorgeous.
