#PaulRodgers #Vocalist #Rock

I believe that Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest vocalists of the Rock Era, but don’t take my word for it, the opinion of luminaries such as Freddie Mercury, Ann Wilson, Robert Plant, John Mellencamp and Lou Gramm carry a lot more weight than mine when they name Paul Rodgers, not only ONE of the greatest, but their ALL TIME FAVORITE vocalist with unmatched vocal agility. He is so admired by his peers that several of the biggest classic rock bands in history asked Paul to be their lead singer when the position opened. I’m talking about Deep Purple, Journey, and even The Doors- who tried to recruit him after Jim Morrison died. We celebrate his genius here, with an exclusive interview with Paul talking about his top 5 hit with Free, All Right Now on VOX.

We are jumping back into our feature VOX where we celebrate the greatest vocalists of the rock era. I have to say, very matter fact

#5- “Walk In My Shadow”- An stunning Paul Rodgers performance from his days with Free off their 1969 album Tons of Sobs. “Walk In My Shadow” is an excellent starting point to discover just how incredible of a vocalist Paul Rodgers truly is. It’s an important song to reference when reflecting on his body of work, since it is near the beginning of his career. On this track, Paul hits the world with his arsenal of soulful blues rock and kept it coming with relentless power.

#4- “Bad company" til’ the day I die. The 3rd single and title track from Bad Company’s debut album in ’74. Paul co-wrote this song with his Free compadre Simon Kirke. Besides being an essential track from the days when bands made REAL rock records, “Bad Company” is perfect for Rodgers style. Paul made this a rebel song, with a renegade spirt that has captured a new generation of artists- such as Garth Brooks and Five Finger Death Punch, who have both recorded inspired versions of the song.

#3- Bad Company’s “Can’t Get Enough”. Paul Rodgers is truly in his element delivering a cocky, forceful vocal full of swagger, in this classic rock staple that was also a huge crossover hit. This is Bad Co guitarist Mick Ralphs at his best. His guitar riffs are insane. He wrote “Can’t Get Enough” when he was still with Mott The Hoople, but they didn’t want to record the song, so Mick gave it to his new Bad Company mates, and they LOVED it. “Can’t Get Enough” was the first single released by Bad Company in 1974, and it was also their highest charting single on the pop chart- reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It hit #3 in Canada, and #15 in the UK.

#2- “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad”- A scorching Paul Rodgers performance off the 2nd Bad Company album Straight Shooter. “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad" is another standout penned by Mick Ralphs that Paul Rodgers interprets masterfully. He transitions from a tender declaration of honesty with the lyric “Cause I’m a man, I’ve got my pride, I don’t need no woman to hurt me inside- I need love,” to the “Good Lovin Gone Bad” chorus with so much passion and conviction. You can hear how much he felt the song. I am always impressed when a singer puts that much heart into a vocal of a song they didn’t write. It’s the mark of a great song, but also a great interpreter. As a blues/ rock vocalist, Paul Rodgers does it with the best of them.

#1- “All Right Now” by Paul Rodgers and Free from the album Fire and Water. In my opinion, this is definitive Paul Rodgers, because it fires up all aspects of his enormous talent & why he is so revered by his peers. I had the unique opportunity to ask Pauld about this song in a session I did some years back. Here’s what he said:

He is so admired by his peers that several of the biggest classic rock bands in history asked Paul to be their lead singer when the position opened. I’m talking about Deep Purple, Journey, and even The Doors- who tried to recruit him after Jim Morrison died.

Paul was the dynamic lead vocalist for Free. Bad Company, The Firm, The Law, and for the exciting collaboration with Queen from late 2004 to 2009.
