An enduring one-hit wonder from the band Free. The song came about one evening after the group played to a near-empty hall and realized they needed something more uptempo to close their shows. The edited single cuts almost a minute from the guitar solo; again, the album version is preferred today. Lead vocalist Paul Rodgers and bassist Simon Kirke went on to form Bad Company in the 70’s. In the 2000’s Rodgers spent some time as front man of a reconstituted version of Queen.
