Why this album mattered
Free were an English rock band formed in London in 1968 by Paul Rodgers (vocals), Paul Kossoff (guitar), Andy Fraser (bass, piano) and Simon Kirke (drums, percussion). Although renowned for their live performances and non-stop touring, their music did not sell well until their third studio album, Fire and Water (1970), which featured the hit "All Right Now". Free recorded one more album, Heartbreaker, before disbanding in 1973; Rodgers and Kirke went on to co-form the more successful rock supergroup Bad Company. It reached #17 and charted for 27 weeks. Major singles from the album include "All Right Now".
