Three original members of 70s supergroup Bad Company are reuniting for a one-off concert at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida on August 8th. The performance marks the first time band members Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke have performed together as Bad Company since 1999. The band's founding bassist, Boz Burrell, passed away in 2006. Rodgers has since gone in to become the lead singer of Queen. No reason was given as to why Bad Company are reuniting, but the band promises the performance will be one-night-only.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
