老歌亂談(466)All Right Now
成立於1968的英國搖滾樂團Free，以感性的現場演唱著稱，且一直不停歇的作巡迴演出，而即便如此，早期的專輯唱片銷售量並不理想。某次，該團至杜倫 ( Durham ) 大學演出，現場的學生觀眾反應頗為冷淡。演畢在換衣間時貝士手Andy Fraser甚為感慨，想說或許是因為他們所唱的歌曲太過於「輕柔」了，在心情受到刺激之下忽然有了這首《All Right Now》的靈感，且很快的就和主唱Paul Rodgers將此曲寫成。
此曲收錄於Free樂團1970的專輯《Fire And Water》中，單曲分別獲得英國和美國排行榜的第2及第4名，唱片終於大賣。此曲也使得Free樂團有機會站上1970懷特島音樂節 ( Isle of Wight Festival ) 的舞台，在60萬的觀眾面前演唱。2006，此曲獲倫敦廣播音樂公司 ( BMI ) 頒發「播放百萬獎 ( 在美國的電台播放超過了300萬次 )」。這首歌當然也是Free樂團最為著名的招牌歌。
Free樂團於1973解散，滾石雜誌曾指該樂團為英國硬式搖滾的先驅。主唱Paul Rodgers也在該雜誌歷來100位最偉大的歌手中排名第55；主奏吉他手Paul Kossoff則在100最偉大吉他手中排名第51，可惜這位Kossoff老兄1976死於服用藥物過量，僅得年25歲。
