Born in Middlesbrough in 1949, Paul Rodgers is one of rock's most respected singer-songwriters.

In 1969 Paul was a founder member of the blues-rock group Free, with drummer Simon Kirke, guitarist Paul Kossoff, and bassist Andy Fraser. The group found fame with their third single, the classic 'All Right Now' (number 2 in May 1970) and their second album 'Fire And Water' (number 2 in June 1970). Despite this success, over three years from June 1970, the group had a very bumpy ride. They had a successful UK tour, a disastrous US tour, three top 10 albums and one flop, three top 10 singles and three flops, and they split for a year in May 1971. They eventually split for good in early 1973, partly due to Paul Kossoff's increasing dependence on drugs as well as musical differences within the band. Paul Kossoff eventually died of a drugs overdose in 1976.

The post-split compilation 'The Free Story' reached number 2 in March 1974, whilst in 1991 'All Right Now' was reissued and reached number 8 after it's use in chewing gum adverts; a compilation also reached number 9. Another compilation, 'Chronicles', was released in 2005.

In the summer of 1973, Paul was a founder member of the group Bad Company, which comprised half of Free (with drummer Simon Kirke) along with former Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and Boz Burrell on bass. The group found instant success when their debut single 'Can't Get Enough' reached number 15 in the UK and number 5 in the USA in May/June 1974. Their debut album, 'Bad Company', reached number 3 in the UK and was a chart-topper in the US. The group's other best known single came in 1975 when 'Feel Like Makin' Love' reached number 20. Paul stayed with the band for a total of six albums, leaving after 'Rough Diamonds' in 1982. The band reformed in 1986 without Paul and continued to record until 1998, when the original line-up reformed to record four new tracks for 'The Original Bad Company Anthology', a double CD set which collected together the best tracks from the first six albums.

After leaving Bad Company in 1982, Paul went on to form 'The Firm' with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in 1985. The band only released two albums and four singles in the UK and USA, which were relatively successful, but in doing so Paul earned the distinction of being the first vocalist ever to be part of three grammy award nominated groups.

Paul has collaborated a number of times with Brian, including the charity singles 'Smoke On The Water' (also featuring Roger) and 'Reaching Out', the track 'I'm Ready' from his 1993 album 'Muddy Water Blues', and live performances at the 1991 'Expo '92 Legends Concert', various shows in 1994, and the Strat Pack concert in 2004.

Paul then performed with Brian and Roger on three tracks at the finale of the UK Music Hall Of Fame in 2005, which led to the 2005 European and Japanese tours, the 2006 US tour, the 2008 album 'The Cosmos Rocks' and the 2008 European and South American tours.

On the two disc edition of Paul's 1993 album 'Muddy Water Blues', the second disc includes re-recorded versions of 'All Right Now', 'Fire And Water', 'Wishing Well', 'Can't Get Enough', 'Feel Like Makin' Love' and 'Bad Company'. However, all lyrics and details below refer to the original album or single versions, which feature on Free 'Chronicles', 'The Original Bad Company Anthology' and 'The Very Best Of Free & Bad Company'.

Lyrics:
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song
'Love me do' I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, and everything's all right
Don't you know

Johnny told his mama, "hey, mama, I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday, yeah"
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "don't cry, mama, smile and wave goodbye"

Don't you know, yeah, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, "well, I made the big time at last"

Don't you know, now don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, woh, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are
A shooting star

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, ahhh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star now
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Woh, oh, woh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star

Lyrics:
Mmm
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run round the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

Oh, oh, yeah, yes

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through

You've always got something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Ooh, yeah

But I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world, yeah
Love in a peaceful world, oh yeah
Love in a peaceful world

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well, oh, yes

Ow, I wish you well
Um, your wishing well, ow
Everybody has a wish, yeah
Everybody has a dream, yeah, yeah
Wishing well
Ow, dream, have a dream, your own dream
Oh yeah
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, yeah, alright
Mmm
Yeah, wishing well
Yeah, wishing well
Yeah, wishing well
