Rock n’ roll needs more guys like Paul Rodgers. Rodgers has got an undeniable, soulful voice that’s solidified his place as a pillar of inspiration for generations of musicians. The legendary singer has fronted some of the most important and influential bands in the genre’s pantheon—Free and Bad Company. He’s even recorded and toured with Queen, never failing to carry a hook to the heavens and back. However, even legends like to rock out. So we talked to Paul in this exclusive feature about what’s on his playlist. His tastes were quite diverse and extremely interesting, illuminating his undying love for all kinds of music.

Paul opened up his iTunes for us and gave us a peek at what he’s spinning. Check out his playlist below!

1. Otis Redding

“Otis Redding is probably my main man as a singer. I listened to him throughout my teenage years. He’s a soul singer, but there’s a touch of gospel in there. When he sang things like Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change Is Gonna Come,’ he sang them very slow and soulfully. I loved that! I just bought that on CD, and it still gives me chills. ‘That’s How Strong My Love Is’ is great too. He’s fabulous.”
