Andy Fraser

Andy Fraser co-wrote All Right Now, and that one fact secures his immortality, since the song is among the most played rock tracks ever recorded. What floors me is that he co-founded Free and wrote that riff as a teenager, just fifteen when the band formed. His bass playing was melodic and spacious in a way few rock players attempt, leaving room rather than filling it. He died in 2015. Beyond Free he wrote for others and kept creating through serious illness and personal struggle. A quietly brilliant musician whose biggest hit overshadows how inventive a player he actually was.
