      • "All Right" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released in January 1983 as the lead single from the album, Another Page. On the heels of his Grammy winning first album, and following his #1 hits "Sailing" and "Arthur's Theme (The Best that You Can Do)", expectations were strong enough for it to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at #29. It was the fifth-highest debuting single of the 1980s, ranking behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (No. 20), USA for Africa's "We Are the World" (No. 21), Paul McCartney's and Michael Jackson's "Say Say Say" (No. 26), and Men at Work's "Overkill" (No. 28). The single, which featured former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald on background vocals, peaked at #12.
      The song gained a measure of fame when it was used by CBS Sports for its highlight montage of the 1983 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament at the end of its broadcast of the championship game. The game, which saw North Carolina State, led by coach Jim Valvano, upset heavily favored Houston 54-52 when Lorenzo Charles caught an airballed shot by teammate Dereck Whittenburg and slammed the ball through the hoop on the game's final play, is widely regarded as one of the most memorable games in NCAA tournament history. Four years later, CBS introduced One Shining Moment to accompany tournament highlights at the end of the championship game broadcast, a tradition which continues.
      "All Right" was featured in the NBA footage bloopers during the 1982ā€“83 season.
      It was also featured in the opening video of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2017.

      • All Right! (also: Good!, Russian: Š„Š¾Ń€Š¾ŃˆŠ¾!) is a poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky written for the tenth anniversary of the 1917 Revolution. Started in December 1926 and completed in August 1927, it was published in October 1927 by GIZ Publishers. Prior to that Mayakovsky recited the poem at his numerous public performances, and parts of it were published by numerous Soviet newspapers throughout the year.
      "For me All Right! is a manifesto kind of thing, in the way that A Cloud in Trousers has been, for its time. [It incorporates] less abstract poetic tricks (hyperbole, self-important vignettes), and more of the new, freshly invented ways of processing historical and agitative material," he wrote in the autobiography I, Myself.
