About the song[]
The song was released in the summer of 1970 and was a no.1 hit single in over 20 territories. It was recognised by ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) in 1990 for garnering 1,000,000 plus radio plays in the U.S. by late 1989 In 2000, an Award was given to Paul Rodgers by the British Music Industry when "All Right Now" passed 2,000,000 plus radio plays in the UK.
The song has recently found a home as part of the encore set for Queen + Paul Rodgers. Before "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", it offers the fans one more chance to sing along. Curiously, one of the engineers during the recordings of "All Right Now" was Roy Thomas Baker, who would later become Queen's producer (he mixed "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Don't Stop Me Now" among others).
The opening guitar chords of the song were performed at some Duran Duran's concerts including shows on the 2005 Astronaut Tour by Andy Taylor during band introductions. A recording is available on the unofficial album Birmingham - England: 28-05-2005.
