Bassist Andy Fraser of 70s rock band Free has died ages 62.
He had been battling Aids & Cancer for some time. Free we massive between 1970 & 1973 and their biggest hit All Right Now was a hit 3 times on the UK Chart. #2 in 1970 - #15 in 1973 and #11 in 1978 as part of an EP. They also had another 3 hit singles before they disbanded: My Brother Jake - #4 in 1971 A Little Bit Of Love - #13 in 1972 Wishing Well - #7 in 1973 Andy is second from left:  This was their biggest hit - All Right Now R.I.P.

All Right Now was a hit in 1991 again - I think it was used in an ad - possibly Levis or Budweiser.
It's overall sales must be decent enough 1970 - 36-27-4-3-{2}-2-2-2-2-4-5-12-14-23-30-34->16 1973 - 40-29-21-{15}-15-18-22-37-47->9 1978 - 25-18-12-{11}-17-23-33->7 1991 - 39-17-11-{8}-8-11-24-42-68->9 23 weeks Top 20 |

He was 17 when he co wrote all right now and also wrote the fab every kinda people for Robert palmer. The shocking realisation is he was only 5 years older than me because he had success so young.
