LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-AUGUST 12, 2019-44 YEARS AGO BAD COMPANY HIT PAYDIRT WITH THE RELEASE OF ‘CAN’T GET ENOUGH’
THIS WAS THE FIRST SINGLE FROM BAD COMPANY FROM THEIR SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM. IT STILL TO THIS DAY REMAINS THE HIGHEST CHARTING SINGLE FROM THE BAND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING BEING BAD COMPANY RACKED UP NINE TOP 40 SINGLES FROM 1974 TO 1992.
‘CAN’T GET ENOUGH’ FUELED THE DEBUT ALBUM TO # 1 AS IT WENT ON TO SELL OVER 5 MILLION COPIES.
THE SONG WAS WRITTEN BY GUITARIST MICK RALPHS WHEN HE WAS STILL WITH MOTT THE HOOPLE. BUT MOTT THE HOOPLE AND THEIR RECORD COMPANY BOTH REJECTED THE SONG. OOOPSY !!! WHEN HE BROUGHT THE SONG TO HIS NEW BAND BAD COMPANY, THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO RECORD IT.
HERE’S PAUL RODGERS AND BAD COMPANY WITH A GREAT LIVE VERSION OF ‘CAN’T GET ENOUGH’
