Fame and Fortune is the seventh studio album by British rock band Bad Company, released in 1986.[7] It was the first album released by the reformed group, featuring original members Mick Ralphs (guitar) and Simon Kirke (drums), with the addition of new frontman Brian Howe (formerly of Ted Nugent's band) substituting for original singer Paul Rodgers.[5] While original bassist Boz Burrell appears credited as part of the line-up, the liner notes reveal that session player Steve Price played on the album.
The album peaked at No. 106 on the Billboard 200.[8]
