"All Right Now" is a song by English rock band Free, released on their third studio album, Fire and Water (1970). It was released by Island Records, a record label founded by Chris Blackwell. Released as the album's second single, "All Right Now" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[3] In July 1973, the song was re-released, peaking at number 15 on the UK chart. In 1991, a Bob Clearmountain remix of the song was released, reaching number eight on the UK chart.
"All Right Now" was a number-one hit in over 20 countries[citation needed] and was recognised by American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers in 1990 for accumulating over 1,000,000 radio plays in the U.S. by late 1989. In 2006, the BMI London awards included a Million Air award for 3 million air plays of "All Right Now" in the USA.[4] The song remains as a staple track of classic rock radio.
It was covered by artists such as Mike Oldfield,[5] Witch Queen,[6] Rod Stewart,[7][8] Pepsi & Shirlie (All Right Now),[9] and GNR.[10] A version arranged by the Stanford Band is the de facto fight song of Stanford University athletic teams.[11]
