Paul Rodgers - 'All Right Now' (from 'Free Spirit')

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said-ah, hey, what is this?
Now baby, maybe, maybe she's in need of a kiss

I said-ah, "Hey, what's your name baby?
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate."
Ow!

All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now
Mm!
All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now
Whoa, ooh

Let me tell you all about it now
Mm!

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said, "Look, what's your game, baby?
Are you tryin' to put me in shame?"
I said, "Slow, don't go so fast
Don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above
Huh, now you're trying to trick me in love"
Ow!

All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now
All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now

Yeah, it's all right now
Yeah!

Hoo!
Oh yeah, ow!
Let me tell you all about it, now
Ow!
Yeah

Took her home, yeah, to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said, "Look, uh, what's your game?
Are you trying to put me in shame?"

"Baby," I said, "Slow, slow, don't go so fast, huh
Don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above
Now he's trying to trick me in love"
Yeah!

All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now, yeah
All right now
Baby, it's-ah all right now

All right now
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
All right now
All right now
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

Paul Rodgers, μία από τις πλέον κλασικές (και ωραιότερες επίσης) φωνές του ευρύτερου φάσματος της rock μουσικής. Τον γνωρίσαμε μέσα από την γκρουπάρα Free, τον απολαύσαμε στους (θεούς) Bad Company, τον ακούσαμε και στους Queen [οι οποίοι εκείνη την περίοδο (2004-2009) μετονομάσθηκαν σε Queen + Paul Rodgers].

Παράλληλα ο Παύλος "τρέχει" και την προσωπική του καριέρα. Η αρχή έγινε σαράντα χρόνια πίσω, το 1983, με την κυκλοφορία του δίσκου "Cut Loose" και προ ημερών (22 Σεπτεμβρίου 2023) "βγήκε", μέσω της Sun Records, ο έκτος solo δίσκος του υπό τον τίτλο "Midnight Rose".

Επίσης έχει κυκλοφορήσει και επτά live albums. Το πλέον πρόσφατο "βγήκε" προ πενταετίας (2018) και φέρει τον τίτλο "Free Spirit". Μέσα από εκεί και το βίντεο της σημερινής ανάρτησης με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του (υπερκλασικού) τραγουδιού των Free, "All Right Now".

Δελτίο τύπου: «"All Right Now" is a song by English rock band Free. It originally appeared on the band's third studio album Fire and Water (1970), which Free recorded on the Island Records label, formed by Chris Blackwell.

Released as the album's second single, "All Right Now" hit number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In July 1973, the song was re-released, reaching number 15 on the UK chart.

"All Right Now" was a number 1 hit in over 20 territories and was recognized 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 2006, the BMI London awards included a Million Air award for 3 million air plays of "All Right Now" in the USA. The song also remains as a staple of classic rock radio.»

Το live album "Free Spirit" ηχογραφήθηκε - φιλμογραφήθηκε στο Λονδίνο και αφορούσε αποκλειστικά (16) τραγούδια των Free. Το δελτίο τύπου μας λέει σχετικά:

«This 16-song collection filmed in London, England returned Paul Rodgers to his roots, bringing fans an extraordinary evening celebrating the music of Free.

Paul performs Rock Classics like “All Right Now,” “Wishing Well,” “Fire and Water,” and many deep tracks-some of which were never performed live by the original band, such as “Love You So” and “Catch a Train.”

Beginning his iconic music career as a founding member, main songwriter, and frontman for Free, Rodgers is regarded as one of the greatest vocalists in Rock History by contemporaries and fans.

According to Eric Clapton, “Paul Rodgers is the real deal,” while Robert Plant says “Paul Rodgers is the voice of all British voices.”

Rodgers has sold over 125 million records worldwide with his legendary bands Free, Bad Company, The Firm and as a Grammy-nominated solo artist.»
