PAUL RODGERS Taking Legal Action After Trump Campaign Uses FREE Hit “All Right Now”
July 22, 2016, 7 years ago
Donald Trump appeared to ignore the demands of British rocker Paul Rodgers by using his hit “All Right Now” to cap off his presidential nomination speech, reports Daily Record.
Rodgers earlier joined a string of British artists including Queen, Adele and representatives of George Harrison to object to the Republican and his campaign using their material. The billionaire tycoon accepted his party's nomination at the Republican Party convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday.
Trump ended the fiery speech with his campaign slogan "Let's make America great again" and "I love you" before All Right Now's famous guitar riff kicked in.
Rodgers, who wrote the tune in 1970 while a member of Free, previously warned he had alerted his lawyer to the song's unauthorized use during the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Permission to use "All Right Now" was never sought for or granted by me. My lawyer is dealing with this matter. - Paul
