Totally agreed! I saw Free four times back in the day, listening to this is like being back there in that hall, 50 years have passed, but nothing has changed. Paul is as fantastic as ever, may he never change.
I saw Paul and his wife in a recent interview in Oct 2023. He had a stroke in 2013 and again in 2019. With the last one he couldn't even talk, much less sing. He had surgery on one of his carotid arteries and started recovering. He seems to be doing well, but no more live concerts. He's come out with his first solo album in 25 years though! I'm so glad he's doing well, I admire him so much. He never partied or went wild. A friend's older brother told him when he was 14 that if he got famous, to be on time, do the job well, get the money, and go straight home. Four yrs later at 18 yrs old, there he was, putting that advice into action. He kept it up and it sure paid off! Paul will never see this, but: Paul, I love your voice, your style, and your sexy love songs that both men and women can enjoy. You're amazing!! I've followed you since The Firm and could tell your awesome voice anywhere, so I kept following you to now. I won't say till the end because your music will never end. Thank you and God bless you and your family!
Paul Rodgers is the best rock singer ever, period. He is literally pitch-perfect on every note. Absolutely amazing! You could tune a guitar to that guy's voice...
There will never be an equal to this voice .. Cuts right into your heart and can almost bring you to tears for how it makes you feel ,,,,, love you Mr. Rogers ❤️
I'd rather hug him, lol, my husband won't mind but I'd have to ask his wife! Just a harmless little hug. To thank him for all those years of awesome songs. And he plays instruments, including a microphone pole!!! ❤
Best education for any Rock Blues or Soul singer, is to study Paul's delivery and technique, these songs still hypnotise young audiences when covered, timeless.
In what Universe do you not have Free in thr R+R Hall of Fame. The most underrated drummer ever, possibly the greatest bassist, one of the guitar greats, and then there's Paul
I can say from my year's as a teen , and now in my 50's that with life's highs and lows ...I was truly blessed to have had such a great writer ,player of many instruments and a powerhouse and unmatched and unmistakably talented lyricist with several bands and a Solo career that shall echo through eternity !
Freakin' fantastic. I'm 67 and have been listening to Free since 1970 and of the many great songs by them, Be My Friend is my absolute favorite. As I listened to Paul sing this live I felt my eyes watering up...what a feeling. Thank you Mr. Rogers(I never want to leave his neighborhood), and thank his band Free Spirit for a truely enjoyable musical moment.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS SONG HASNT HAD 100,000 VIEWS ?? He sounds as good as he did 50 years ago ! AMAZING VOICE ! ROCK ON FOREVER PAUL !! I can listen to you every day.
Yes that’s true I love his music and voice so very much! I rocked out with my husband in Washington State where he deserved a better place to perform at. He still was awesome and incredible. ♥️
Mr. Rodgers and band delivering such emotion on this. Dare I say it’s every bit as great as the magic of Free forty years ago! Thankful that Paul Rodgers brings a high standard to everything he does. Doing the catalog justice for sure. Love all your work maestro Rodgers!!
Unbelievable how great this song is. Free were a little before my time but that voice and sound holds up better than anything from the 80’s Metal I grew up worshipping. I watched a documentary on Lynyrd Skynard and pleased to hear that Free was far more an influence on them then the Southern Rock bands they were associated with. The new generation kids is so ripped off with not having music and true rockstars like this..
One my favourite Free tracks. I first heard them do this live in 1969/1970 but memory not what it was. One of the finest albums ever made by the absolute best band of musicians I ever heard playing in Eel Pie Island and at the Marquee back then. Thank you for posting. Koss added something extra with his soulful playing...
I was about late joining the party bought my first Paul Rogers album "cut loose" 35 years ago,although listened to free bad company for my 50 years my father a massive fan, luckily I've seen him live many times and have his autograph, have his image tattooed on my arm , always have a free bad co to hand in my car, can't say which genre is the best the man been spectacular from the first time I heard him long may he reign 🎤
Paul Rodgers is one of the best Rock Vocalists in the world today he has stood the test of time powerful voice and incredible range we love you keep rocking🤠
Paul if you read this I’m a guitar player and I would love to join you on stage on a upcoming show I’m a huge bad company and free fan. I live by your songs everyday! Greatest singer in rock history! Glad to see your still alive and well!
I was amazed at how great and unspoilt Paul vocals sound after 50 years. I don't think any other vocalist from that era can say the same. I thought the guitar wasnt sounding muddy enough as kossofs. But then came that awosome gritty guitar solo and it gave my life purpose again . Ha ha
Always been a favorite even when I was just learning to get into lyrics more after losing my best friend and we were made to be together, both of us were fan's ..Rock On Paul .Been a Free Friend 🐔 your voice is kicking it
Has no sense of ageism..is the undisputed king of the male vocalist jungle and will continue to be so forca while yet. Impeccable and humble..loves his profession and must be studied by those who want to continue in his immense footsteps!
What can I say? It's so amazing that I can't find the words. The way he holds the microphone and sings is amazing. I've been a big fan since his FREE days, so I'm very happy.
I really screwed up and missed all of this . I get on my knees and pray these fellows do one more tour like this . I shall be there , he’ll or high water
This is one of his best tunes.He and the band sat in with me and mine in Mobile ,Al.,in the mid 70’s.I played 3 tunes with Paul and Bad Co.Super guys spend hours with them.Simeon Kirk and Paul were great down to earth guys.
My oh My Paul is as good as he was when I saw him him with the original Free in fact I think he has added to his vocal range and that takes some doing. What a band
Paul Rodgers is so inspirational, he's the reason i took up singing. Being able to sing Free songs and perform within my band, bring smiles around the room and pats on the back from those who appreciate the fine quality of Musc Free brought us and nostalgic memories.
My all time favorite singer. My daughter bought me a turntable for Christmas. I couldn't wait to pull out my Burning Sky Album. The jacket has yellowed round the edges. I like it even better that way. Chills and goosebumps hearing that intro, then that iconic voice. 👏
The instantly, recognizable golden voice of Mr. Paul Rogers, I loved you way back, with Andy, Paul, and Simon, still love you's to this very day, sooo good, sooo Free, thank you, Paul, what beautiful memories your music brings back to me about, and with my girls, some of the best music ever played on the planet, please, keep on keepin' on, brother, God bless you and yours~

This man is the Chuck Norris of Rock! He never ages, and that voice is like a roundhouse kick to the soul every time he sings.
He's a black belt himself.

Paul has a classic rock voice for his era music.
Totally agreed! I saw Free four times back in the day, listening to this is like being back there in that hall, 50 years have passed, but nothing has changed. Paul is as fantastic as ever, may he never change.
Listen to that voice absolutely brilliant.Paul is like a vintage wine, he gets better as he gets older 👍🏻

I always thought of him as Bad Company ha
My favourite FREE number sung by the very best rock vocalist bar none. We all need this beautiful song right now, thanks Paul.
Greatest singer in history, if you haven't saw yet check his soul version of walk In my shadow
Not one bad comments about this man that says it all any one heard Paul Rodgers singing stone free by Hendrix amazing
Paul Rodgers is the best rock singer ever, period. He is literally pitch-perfect on every note. Absolutely amazing! You could tune a guitar to that guy's voice...
💕💕🙌🙌
no doubt
You are absolutely right! Paul is the best singer in Rock history!
Could not agree more.
Fact !!
The Master giving everyone a lesson in microphone dynamics. Still has the most powerful voice in Rock and Roll. Cheers to you Paul Rodgers

When I bought ‘Free Live’ in 1971, this track blew me away. Andy Fraser’s bass was outstanding!
Paul Rodgers continues to amaze me! There simply is none better!
There will never be an equal to this voice .. Cuts right into your heart and can almost bring you to tears for how it makes you feel ,,,,, love you Mr. Rogers ❤️
One of the greatest Rock singers and frontmen of all time, he's as great as he is underrated.
Paul Rodgers is amazing. He effortlessly creates notes that touch my very soul. I wish I could shake his hand
I'd rather hug him, lol, my husband won't mind but I'd have to ask his wife! Just a harmless little hug. To thank him for all those years of awesome songs. And he plays instruments, including a microphone pole!!! ❤
Now here is somebody who breathes his music. One cannot help but adore this.
Best education for any Rock Blues or Soul singer, is to study Paul's delivery and technique, these songs still hypnotise young audiences when covered, timeless.
The first time I heard Paul’s voice it shook me to the core, changed my world. That was 50 years ago. Listen to the man every damn day of my life.
How is this man not in the Hall of Fame? Unbelievable.
What a voice, this guy is a legend
In what Universe do you not have Free in thr R+R Hall of Fame. The most underrated drummer ever, possibly the greatest bassist, one of the guitar greats, and then there's Paul

Absolutely the best voice ever. Can still send chills up and down my spine.

As a singer, I just study, and study. Then I dream of joining him on stage. Hey, we can all dream, can't we? Just amazing tone and phrasing.
Dream on, it's great to dream!!
Paul Rodgers is the best! ❤❤❤❤❤
И Роберт Плант -два клроля!!!
When I was introducing my son to Bad Company I told him Paul has a voice you will instantly know who it is. To this day that hasn't changed.
like fine wine , gets better with age.
Yes that’s true I love his music and voice so very much! I rocked out with my husband in Washington State where he deserved a better place to perform at. He still was awesome and incredible. ♥️
Did you play him any of the Free catalog...its a shame Paul Kossoff and Andy Fraser are gone
@@bubbaluvv of course.
@@TheCheryl57 you are a good mon 😁
素晴しい～!❤😊。有り難うございます😊!!
My absolute favourite track - and that beautiful voice gives me goosebumps. xx
Mr. Rodgers and band delivering such emotion on this. Dare I say it’s every bit as great as the magic of Free forty years ago! Thankful that Paul Rodgers brings a high standard to everything he does. Doing the catalog justice for sure. Love all your work maestro Rodgers!!
Speechless after watching that. Paul is the best blues singer ever, and his voice has lost nothing. He by himself should be in rhe HOF
Damn that was badass. Paul's has the golden vocals
Unbelievable how great this song is. Free were a little before my time but that voice and sound holds up better than anything from the 80’s Metal I grew up worshipping. I watched a documentary on Lynyrd Skynard and pleased to hear that Free was far more an influence on them then the Southern Rock bands they were associated with.

Tons of sobs. You rock man. Thank you Paul for that voice.
Agreed ❤

I'm a huge Rodgers/FREE fan. This is amazing. Really takes me back to the drug haze of the 70's in a good way.
I'm now 68 and still listen to this amazing guy and Free. Been listening to them since I was in high school
O so true Gary. Seventies in a psychedelic haze.
Love the way he sings this. What a voice! Paul Rodgers sings with so much passion. Good-looking too.
Best vocalist ever love to see him live
