"Right" is a song by the English musician David Bowie from his album Young Americans, released on 7 March 1975.
[1] The repetition of the main lyrics—"Taking it all the right way / Never no turning back"—the prominence of the percussion and bass, and the emphasis on the backing singers made "Right" one of the album's "authentically soulful" songs, according to professor of music Ian Chapman.
Chapman describes it as having "no hidden Bowie-esque irony, barb, or angst",[3] although Alex Petridis calls it a "twitchy, agitated note-to-self".
The call and response between Bowie and the backing singers "lends an air of immaculate sophistication to the lyric's paean to positive thinking", according to Nicholas Pegg.
"[5][6] Toward the end of Alan Yentob's film about Bowie, Cracked Actor (1975), Bowie, Luther Vandross, Robin Clark, and Ava Cherry are seen rehearsing "Right" for the 1974 "Soul Tour", although in the end it was never performed live.
