Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Eight. “Heartbreaker” is the sixth and final studio album by the English rock band #free #freeband , that provided them with one of their most successful singles, "Wishing Well". It was recorded in late 1972 after bassist #andyfraser had left the band and while guitarist #paulkossoff was ailing from an addiction to Mandrax (#quaaludes ) and features a different line up from previous albums. #tetsuyamauchi was brought in to replace Fraser, while #johnrabbitbundrick became the band's keyboard player to compensate for the increasingly unreliable Kossoff (singer #paulrodgers played keyboards on the previous album 1972 Free at Last). Both Yamauchi and Bundrick had played with Kossoff and drummer #simonkirke on the album Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu & Rabbit during that period in late 1971 when Free had broken up for the first time. Also, several other musicians were used on the album. The album was co-produced by #andyjohns as well as Free themselves. My copy is on #islandrecords - SW 9324 The album was, by Free's standards, a huge success. It became their third top-ten album in the UK (reaching #9), and reached No. 47 in America, which was also a considerable success for the band. Also, the single release "#wishingwell " became their third-most successful single, reaching No. 7. It is widely regarded as one of their definitive songs. Despite the success of the album and impending tour of America, it finally became apparent that the band had passed the point of no return. Kossoff being credited as an additional musician came as a shock to the entire band. #rockandroll #theseventies #heartbreaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP1ZJbuqxa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“A BREATH OF FRESH AIR”

with Sandy Kaye

MONDAYS 2:00PM‬ & FRIDAYS 10:30PM

This week:

Drummer Simon Kirke kept the beat for two of the '70s most popular bluesy hard rockers: Free and Bad Company. 

Kirke landed a gig with a group called the Black Cat Bones. He befriended the group's guitarist, Paul Kossoff who convinced him to start a new band with singer Paul Rodgers and ex-John Mayall's Bluesbreakers bassist Andy Fraser. This band became “Free” in 1968. 

The group would prove to be successful particularly on the strength of their classic 1970 release “Fire and Water” and its anthemic hit single "All Right Now"

“Free” broke up in 1973. From “Free” rose “Bad Company” Simon and Paul Rodgers were joined by ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell and ex-Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs.

As well as his work with Bad Company, he guested on a long list of recordings by other artists, including albums by Wilson Pickett, Jim Capaldi, Ringo Starr and Ron Wood, among countless others.

He was often drumming live on tour with acts like Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band. 

In 2003, Simon went out on his very first solo tour and released his debut solo album.

Simon shares his incredible story with us this week.

Happy Birthday to Paul Rodgers, who is 73 today. He was the lead vocalist of numerous bands, including Free, Bad Company, The Firm, and The Law. He has also performed as a solo artist, and collaborated with the remaining active members of Queen under the moniker Queen + Paul Rodgers. A poll in Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 55 on its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In 2011 Rodgers received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Four. “Free” is the eponymous second studio album by this English rock band, recorded and released in 1969. The band had spent time touring their debut album Tons of Sobs (1969) the previous year, and there is a marked difference in the musicianship of the band as well as #paulrodgers 's voice. Both albums were released by #islandrecords , with #freealbum being produced by #chrisblackwell , the head of Island, taking over from #guystevens , who produced the first album. My copy is a reissue on #aandmrecords - SP 4204 (the U.S. release) The album is notable for having innovative artwork from #ronraffaelli of The Visual Thing Inc. It is featured in the book 100 Best Album Covers. Raffaelli made the cover by photographing his model with strobe lights to make a silhouette of her against a background, on which he could then overlay the design. Hence, the album has a design of a woman made of stars leaping across the sky. The band's name is printed in extremely small letters at the top of the cover. #thesixties #rockandroll #andyfraser #paulkossoff #simonkirke #freeband https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnr1GdtuM9w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy birthday to @paulrodgersofficial the greatest singer in rock. Because 70 years ago God decided the world needed more soul and someone who could croon out a love song to rival Elvis and Dean Martin but do it with grit and soul. No one appreciates this man's talent enough and I'm about to riot outside the Rock Hall til Free and Bad Company get in... Throw the Firm in there too! And a solo career and The Law. The Man. The Myth. The Voice. Stay Young and Free and Bad Company Paul! #paulrodgers #birthday #free #badcompany #thefirm #thelaw #thevoice #thevoiceofrock #thevoiceturns70 #istillhavegottoseehimlivebeforeidie https://www.instagram.com/p/B6LsZ4mh4lJ/?igshid=1jggyk6xnzkal
