The band soon grew a live following and recorded their first demo songs, some of which would be officially released later in their career. The band's first single, "Fingers On It", received some minor recognition when it was featured in the 1986 movie Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Band members during this period also included drummer B.W. Boeski and guitarists Gino Martino and Alex Kane.
The group has released twelve studio albums as well as five live albums as of 2014, and they're perhaps best known for their hit singles "Fly High Michelle" and "New Thing" from their self-titled debut album, tracks that remain classic rock favorites. Despite becoming popular during the glam metal movement of the 80s, the band has little in common with many of those artists and has continued to record and tour since its formation, with the group being notable for its internal songwriting (influenced by classic pop such as The Beatles).
Coming out the gate with 1989's 'Enuff Z'nuff', the group received critical praise, with Allmusic saying that the band "deserves more respect than they'll probably ever receive." The album hit the #74 slot on the Billboard 200 top albums chart, with "Fly High Michelle" and "New Thing" both being top 40 hits on the Mainstream Rock chart. Sadly, though musically being inspired by bands such as Cheap Trick, Enuff Z'nuff's record label decided to present them in garish, tie-die outfits and foster a related glam image that the group resented.
There was more band member shuffling in May 2014 when guitarist Tory Stoffregen and drummer Randi Scott each left the band. Drummer Erik Donner joined on drums in June, while Enuff Z'Nuff continued touring as a 3-piece. In April 2016, the band continued with Chip Z'nuff as the lead singer, Tory Stoffregen back on lead guitar, Tony Fenelle (Ultravox) on guitar and Daniel B. Hill on drums.
Enuff Z'nuff released an album of older, previously unreleased original material in late 2016, titled Clowns Lounge. It mainly features demo material from studio sessions originally recorded in 1988 and 1989. Enuff Z'nuff released an album of new material with Chip Z'nuff on lead vocals, Diamond Boy, in 2018.
Enuff Z'Nuff released their 15th studio album, named Brainwashed Generation on July 10, 2020. In August 2021, a 3-CD set of formerly unreleased demo recordings titled Never Enuff was released.. A new cover album, Hardrock Nite, released on November 12, 2021 is a Beatles tribute record.
Enuff Z’Nuff consisting of Chip Z’Nuff on lead vocals and bass, Tory Stoffregen and Tony Fennell on guitars, and Dan Hill on drums will be releasing their new studio album Finer Than Sin on November 11, 2022.
All Right
Enuff Z'Nuff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta say to myself.
I don't have a lot
But I still got my health.
Well all right.
(Oh yeah it's a sunny day)
Well all right.
(Oh yeah everything's okay)
When you see the light.
You would rather
Try and win the fight.
But you can't win them all
So it can't get you too uptight.
All right.
Yeah I know
That I'm sick in the head,
But I know I'm better off
Than sick in bed.
Well all right.
(Oh yeah it's a sunny day)
Well all right.
(Oh yeah everything's okay)
Repeat Chorus.
Anyway that you want it to be,
It don't really matter
All that much to me.
Well all right.
(Oh yeah it's a sunny day)
Well all right.
(Oh yeah everything's okay)
Enuff Z'Nuff's song "All Right" is an upbeat tune that reminds us to cherish the little things in life. The singer of the song is aware of the fact that they may not have much, but they still have their health, which they value above everything else. The opening lyrics indicate that the singer needs to affirm to themselves that they are okay, perhaps because they are aware that their situation may not be what others consider successful or fulfilling. However, they still find solace in appreciating the sunlight and the fact that everything is okay.
As the lyrics progress, the chorus reiterates that it's all right as long as one can see the light and is still in the fight. Although one will not win every battle, they shouldn't let it get them too uptight. The song emphasizes that it is better to be a little unhinged in the head but otherwise healthy than ending up bedridden with illness. In the end, the singer reminds listeners that things can be okay as long as they want it to be. The song's message is clear: life may not always be perfect, but one should choose to celebrate the positivity within it.
