Bad Company is a British-American rock band that was formed in 1973. The band was originally made up of former members of Free, another popular British rock band, and members of Mott the Hoople, a British rock band as well.

The founding members of Bad Company were Paul Rodgers (vocals), Mick Ralphs (guitar), Boz Burrell (bass), and Simon Kirke (drums). The band quickly gained popularity in the 1970s with their blues-influenced hard rock sound and catchy songs.

Some of Bad Company's most famous songs include "Can't Get Enough," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Bad Company," and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy." Their self-titled debut album, released in 1974, was a commercial success and reached number one on the US album charts.

Over the years, Bad Company went through a few lineup changes and took a few breaks from recording and touring. However, they continued to release music and tour into the 21st century.

Today, Bad Company is recognized as one of the most successful rock bands of the 1970s, and their music continues to be beloved by fans around the world.
