In 1976, Bad Company recorded a cover of the 1957 song “Young Blood,” putting a surprising new spin on The Coasters classic.
When Bad Company first teased the cover of “Young Blood" for their album Run With the Pack, guitarist Mick Ralphs told Sounds magazine the song would be Bad Company, not an imitation of The Coasters.
'Young Blood' was a hit twice.
The Coasters' original version of the song hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the R&B singles chart, while Bad Company’s remake reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the band’s highest-charting songs.
For Rodgers, the song wasn’t as random as it may have seemed. The singer had always been drawn to the early R&B music that shaped rock and roll. While he was best known as a hard rock vocalist, he was deeply influenced by soul and blues sounds that connected him to songs such as The Coasters’ “Young Blood.”
Rodgers once named Run With the Pack as his favorite Bad Company album aside from the band’s self-titled first release, in part due to the “Young Blood” cover, according to Rhino.
“Two eras, one song, same soul,” came the caption. “A rare cover for Bad Company.”
