*First line is the band name. 1975. English band. Paul Rodgers started to come up with the lyrics at a camp in California while touring the US with Free. He was 19. After several years, Rodgers played it to 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". Definitely a song you would "make out" to.
