------------------------
"Feel Like Makin' Love" is a song by English supergroup Bad Company.
The power ballad originally appeared on their second LP, Straight Shooter (1975), and was released as a single in June of the same year by Swan Song Records.
It was named the 78th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
The song, along with other Bad Company music, was featured in the 2001 film Scotland, PA.
Origin
Paul Rodgers started to come up with the lyrics at a camp in California while touring the US with Free. He was 19 years old. After several years, Rodgers played it to Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs who "threw in that big chord in the chorus - the muted 'duh-duh' that marks the shift from country ballad to chest-beating rocker".
Reception
Cash Box said that the "strong two-pronged attack from Ralphs' guitar and Rodgers' vocals make the track an excellent choice to follow 'Good Lovin'.'"
Record World said that the song was "a Pentangle-influenced British folk-rock original" in which "guitars alternate between acoustical peace and electronic pow for a most unique effect."
Ultimate Classic Rock critic Matt Wardlaw rated it as Bad Company's 2nd best song, saying that "a muscular guitar riff from Mick Ralphs then adds extra emphasis to the bluesy passion of Rodgers' vocals."
Classic Rock History critic Janey Roberts also rated it as Bad Company's 2nd best song.
Classic Rock critic Malcolm Dome rated it as Bad Company's 3rd best song, praising the "unmistakable guitar opening", "the strolling introduction, opening out into a more strident chorus" and "Ralphs’ stunning guitar pattern."

I like it. Nice to hear a post-Free song written by those guys. I missed Millie Jackson's version in 1976. This rhythm 🎸 guitar is playing chords up too strongly. It's in the mix. Good rock steady beat.
