Free: Wishing Well
The singles chart at the start of the Seventies, before glam rock's sparkly hands got around its throat, was an eclectic place and you sometimes found quite heavy bands like Free having hits.
And music moved on so quickly then that it's surprising to learn that Free's singer Paul Rodgers was in a school bond with Bruce Thomas of the Attractions. It feels like they should have come from different generations.
For some reason or another this was a standard feature on the Juke Box in the Royal Hotel in Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the early 1970s..
