There's no way Freddie Mercury's version will beat Tony Williams'. The only person who could possibly compete with Tony Williams was Jackie Wilson, especially him doing Danny Boy.

Only you (And You Alone) was definitely a hit. Tony Williams (My Grandfather) ugh, his voice was just everything. The Great Pretender and Smoke Gets in your eyes though are my top picks. =) RIP Grandpa (Tony Williams).

Tight harmonies, clean cut, well presented this is a live performance no autocue no annoying dances, the total package introduced by the man himself Alan Freed. Remember colored bands of this era were still subjected to the colour ban meaning coming through the back entrance and treated as 2nd class citizens.

Yes, it's definitely worth checking Freddie's version of this, paying special attention to the three lovely ladies singing back up for him. Brian's song that you're thinking of was 'Prophet's Song.'

Check out "The Andrews Sisters" from 1930s-1940s. They were the soundtrack for WW II, and sold more records than "The Supremes".

I'm delighted to see this! The Platters are a deep dive of their own to a treasure trove of pop music. Looking forward to seeing the Freddie version. Charlie, your saying about the most simple often being the most significant sounds like a restatement of Occam's Razor. It's age-old wisdom. Nice job!

I used to keep pads of papers and pens everywhere I frequented. I recall waking up from a dead sleep, grabbing pad and jotting down what came, then went immediately back to sleep. A poem needing no revision, published years later. That requires writing full-time, which means even when not physically writing one is consciously working on "things" during all waking hours.

You should check out what might be the Platters' biggest hit, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". Another classic is "Since I Fell For You" by Lenny Welch. Both songs have been used in countless movies, tv shows etc They're the kind of classics that stand the test of time.💙

Can't wait to see the Freddie version! I agree, pay close attention to the three lovely backup singers and they are having a blast you can tell! Oh, and my favorite Platters song was one of their later songs, With This Ring.

@kentclark6420 Жыл бұрын

I do covers of oldies at open mics, and a few years ago I decided to try and finally write my own song. I thought I'd never be able to write anything. So I was so surprised that I was able to write the song in just a couple of hours! And it turned out to be quite amazing, if I do say so. Lots of diminished and unusual chords, with influences that sound Moody Blues and Rush-ish. It isn't as hard as you think it would be.

@kentclark6420 Жыл бұрын

And I wrote a second song not long after, in about the same time frame, that was also really good. It was a ballad, and the first song was more of a cosmic/classical/folk tune. I don't know exactly how to classify it.

The only cover that I think Freddie or Queen ever recorded. Make sure you do Freddie's solo, not the Queen remake. Added later: this is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7KCnamIqa3XYZs.html In case you don't recognize him, that's Roger playing the blonde in drag and of course Freddie is the red head. There is also an extended version showing them getting dressed for the video. Very entertaining.

In 1972 Trident asked Queen to record two songs. Since the songs were covers, Mercury decided to sign as Larry Lurex. The Ronettes / The Beach Boys "I Can Hear Music" (with May and Taylor) and Dusty Springfield "Goin´ Back" (with May, Taylor and Deacon).
