“Honey Child” by Bad Company

Swan Song issued "Honey Child" as the third and last single from Run with the Pack, the 1976 album that was Bad Company's third, and it's a rarity for the English hard rock supergroup: a song the whole band wrote together, with Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell and Simon Kirke all on the credit. They produced it themselves, with Ron Nevison engineering and Eddie Kramer on the mix.

It's no-nonsense hard rock and proud of it, and it had already earned its stripes before the single ever hit the racks: Record World reported it going down a storm with crowds on the tour that came first, and Cash Box praised the tight arrangement and said the chorus was a good hook.
