Andy Fraser, brilliant bass guitarist, classic piano player and amazing songwriter. He managed this at an age of 17-19 years old, incredible talent, RIP.

This is a f*cking brilliant song sung by one of the best rock vocalists of all time:))))

Paul Rodgers, one of the very greatest rock voices. This is a classic & still stands the test of time in 2023.

You said it. It's a classic song but the piano playing is fantastic as well and adds to it. It's such a pity that I was watching an interview with Andy Fraser and he said that he didn't really know the rest of the band any longer. How sad is that.

What a band. What a singer. What guitar licks. Funky Piano. What a song.And it`s Free.

Never was lucky enough to see them (too young) and parents didn't take you to concerts in those days. Last year I was lucky enough to see Andy Fraser at Backstage at the Green in Kinross. It was a dream come true. He has and always will be my favourite bass player. Have also seen Paul Rodgers a few times - fantastic and Bad Company with Paul and Simon Kirke.

I remember playing this 45 single when it came out in about May of 1971.....I left the arm out on the Dansette-type turntable (which for those of you of a younger generation left the track on repeat) and just played it incessantly. After Bobby Darin's "Mack The Knife", this is my second ever favourite 45...Paul Kossoff quietly understood the "less is more" principle...just listen to the economy of lead notes within the context of this track....but, every player is on the top of their game here.....simply iconic !
