WCSX Classic Cuts
Bad Company: “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad”
The Hook: Guitarist Mick Ralphs wrote it with the attitude of the band at the time in mind.
Album: Straight Shooter
Year: 1974
Writer: Mick Ralphs
Stats: Peaked at number-36 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Background: Singer Paul Rodgers gives credit for “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad,” from Bad Company’s second album, Straight Shooter.
“I didn’t write that song, it was Mick Ralphs’ song. But he told me that he wrote it especially for me, because the attitude of the band at that time was very much along those lines. And it told a good story and it was a good song to do live.”
