Paul Rodgers - 'All Right Now' (Jools 11th Annual Hootenanny)

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. Έξι full length albums, επτά "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένα, ένα ep και έξι singles ο (δισκογραφικός) απολογισμός του. Το βίντεο της σημερινής ανάρτησης μας γυρίζει δύο (και πλέον) δεκαετίες πίσω, με τον Paul Rodgers να αποδίδει τον ύμνο "All Right Now" στην τηλεοπτική εκπομπή του BBC "Jools' Annual Hootenanny". Πότε; Στις 31 Δεκεμβρίου 2003.

Το τραγούδι "All Right Now” είναι πιθανότατα (μαζί με το "Wishing Well") το πλέον αναγνωρίσιμο μουσικό κομμάτι των Free. Κυκλοφόρησε ως single τον Μάιο του 1970 (με το "Mouthful of Grass" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου) και προετοίμασε το έδαφος για τον (υπέροχο) δίσκο "Fire and Water" που "βγήκε" στα τέλη Ιουνίου του ιδίου έτους.

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.»
