The song, released in 1970, hit #2 on the UK singles chart and #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[3] 'All Right Now' originally appeared on the album Fire and Water, which Free recorded on the Island Records label, formed by Chris Blackwell.

'All Right Now' was a #1 hit in over 20 territories and 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.[4] In 2006, the BMI London awards included a Million Air award for 3 million air plays of 'All Right Now' in the USA.[5]

Cover versions[edit]
'All Right Now', recorded by Mike Oldfield (produced by Tom Newman), with vocals by Wendy Roberts, Pierre Moerlen and Tom Newman, was issued as a one-sided promotional blue 7' single flexi-disc in 1979. The single was given only to Virgin Records executives and never issued to the public, making it one of the most elusive collectors' items in the Oldfield catalogue (number Virgin TT-362).[22]
Also in 1979, studio disco group Witch Queen released a disco version of the song, as a double A-side with a cover of T. Rex's Bang a Gong. It peaked at number eight on the US Billboard disco chart.[23]
