By: McTrax International Fraser has enjoyed phenomenal international success throughout the span of his career. He was honored by BMI's 4 Million Play Club for writing the monster rock anthem "All Right Now," and was the songwriter for Robert Palmer's mega-hit "Every Kind Of People".

His daughter Jasmine said of him, “Andy was such a passionate musician, such a good man, such an unconditional support to me as a father. He fought long and hard through a lot of pain to survive cancer and AIDS so that he could share his music, and it was because he held on through those hard times that I was able to later know and love him. He was up early doing 4 hours of exercise every morning to keep his body healthy to keep going. He had a burning desire to do good in this world, and he single-mindedly dedicated himself to promoting the causes which he believed in. I will miss is boyish and irreverent sense of humor, his endless optimism, and the way he could sum up everything that needed to be said in one perfect line. The last thing he sent to me was the track 'Standing at Your Window'…. " More official information about his passing will be released in the following days. ### About Mctrax International Mctrax is a record label and multi-media firm based in California.
