“Woman” by Free
From the album Free (1969)
“Woman” by Free appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2009. It was first released in 1969 on the album Free. Its best result is #619 on the WXPN 885 Desert Island Songs (2009).
"Woman" comes from Free's second album, the self-titled record the band cut and released in 1969, and it's the work of the songwriting partnership then flowering inside the group: Paul Rodgers and bassist Andy Fraser, only 16 at the time, wrote it together, just as they did eight of the album's nine songs. Chris Blackwell produced.
Rodgers takes the lead vocal, Paul Kossoff plays guitar and Simon Kirke handles drums and percussion, while Fraser turns up all over the credits: bass, piano and guitars, acoustic included. The public didn't bite. The album failed to chart in Britain or America, and its singles went nowhere either, but "Woman" got a second life when Three Dog Night covered it.
