"Someone To Love" by The Firm

Supergroups are no guarantee of success - sometimes the whole seems less than the sum of its parts. Expectations were riding high for The Firm, which consisted of giant talents like singer Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), guitarist Jimmy Page (Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin), drummer Chris Slade (Manfred Mann), and bassist Tony Franklin. The group had an instant hit with the groovy classic rocker "Radioactive," which reached #28 in 1985, but failed to top that performance.

That is not to say they didn't write songs that were not worthy of a higher position on the charts. "Someone To Love" struck me as a song that would have done well back then.

The Firm released "Satisfaction Guaranteed," but it stalled at #73. The short-lived supergroup parted ways in 1986, but not after one more song hit the chart - "All The Kings Horses" hit #61 on the band's way out the door.
