Freddie Mercury...

The greatest voice in Rock n Roll.

Watch here as he absolutely owns Wembley Stadium back for Live AID. A young JTK can still remember watching it live on TV that warm summer day.


Watch him work his magic at 6:50 to one of the most pumped crowds in the history of the world.
 
Yo mama, wash your mouth out with battery acid.

It's ironic to me. Islam prohibits music except for religious occasions and yet the arguably the greatest singer of a number of generations was Arabic. His actual name is Farrokh Bomi Bulsara.

He indeed had one of the greatest voices of rock 'n roll if not the greatest, however, a relative of mine who is quite the accomplished musician (and familiar with Queen more than I can say here on this board), once told me years ago that Paul Rodgers was the greatest voice of rock 'n roll.

Here he is doing a classic of his. Note the guitarist!



Happy Birthday Freddie Mercury!
 
Paul Rodgers became a Canadian Citizen six years ago and he's never been happier. I wonder why?

 
Paul makes his home in Calgary and tours the country regularly. He married Cynthia Kereluk (Miss Canada 1984) a year before becoming a full citizen. I saw them both at Rama, he's the picture of health and she's STILL SMOKIN HOT.

 
They are different types of singers: Freddie is a Lyric Tenor (no many of those in rock), Paul is a Coloratura Baritone (again rare).

IMHO Paul Rodgers best song (Paul on piano):

 
@ Insidious Von,

That's a good way to describe their different styles (and that they are different).

Bad Company is an awesome song!!!

This to me is Paul Rodger's greatest. Damn I wish I saw him in Rama.

 
..would have been 69 today. Wow!

One of my Favs, Here's a very compelling Documentary on his life and times. Mercury (Bulsara) lived his life as he saw Fit for him. A little reckless no doubt but that's what made him such a great artist.
