Bad Company, ‘Can’t Get Enough’ – Butch’s Way Back Wednesday

As a music fan there is always something new and great, but there really is something special about the songs you grew up listening to. For me, that was 70′s and 80′s classic rock. If I am in a shi**y mood, I throw in a little Zeppelin or Rush and take a trip back to rolling in my mom’s T-Bird. Now every Wednesday you get to take that trip with me. It’s Way Back Wednesday with Butch, and today’s feature is actually celebrating a record label that started on this day 40 years ago. To help celebrate, the first hit from the label…Bad Company's, “Can't Get Enough."

Led Zeppelin wasn’t the first band to be given their own label, but they surely were among the most successful. In May 1974, they kicked off the experiment with a bang, launching Swan Song Records. The label formally opened for business with a party at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on May 7. Another party was staged at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles three days later.

Maggie Bell, formerly of Stone the Crows and best known for her cameo on Rod Stewart‘s ‘Every Picture Tells a Story,’ was the first act to sign at the label, but the first big hitters to be on the label came in the form of Bad Company.

"Can't Get Enough" is considered the bands most popular song which is from their 1974 self-titled debut album. As a single, this song reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on Cashbox magazine's Top 100 Singles chart.
