Bad Company – Can’t Get Enough

“Can’t Get Enough” was both the first and the highest-charting single released by Bad Company. It still receives heavy airplay today on Classic Rock radio.

It reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and No. 1 on Cashbox magazine’s Top 100 Singles chart.

This song is a good taste of the original lineup of Bad Company, one of the earliest and longest-lived supergroups. It combined singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke from the band Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from the band Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell from King Crimson (squeeee! go the progressive rock fans!). Not to mention sharing a manager, Peter Grant, with Led Zeppelin.

“Can’t Get Enough” was written by Ralphs when he was still with Mott the Hoople, but the band (or their record label) rejected it. When he joined Bad Company, they were happy to record the song.
