The Band Queen 😎😎

The Band was formed in London by Freddie Mercury , Brian May and Roger Taylor in ( 1970 ) . At the time Brian May and Roger Taylor were already in a band called ( Smile ). After watching them a few times Freddie convinced them to join him and Queen was born. John Deacon wouldn't join until a year later in ( 1971 ) . Freddie's real name was actually ( Farrokh Bulsara ) he was born Stone Town in the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

The whole band played a part in the groups success. Every single member can boast of a hit song they've written for the group. It's unusual to have so many talented writers but I suppose this is down to them being such great musicians. Unfortunately it would take Freddie Mercury's death before the bands work was truly appreciated. They did have a large following when it came to their concerts. It seems even back then they were known for their fantastic live performances.

When it came to the charts though their only real international number one came in the form of Bohemian Rhapsody. It seems so wrong that a group like Queen would have such limited chart success. I suppose you can say this was down to the fact they werec never really a band that focussed on trends. The band played what they wanted to play and made what they wanted to make , for them the fun was in performing to the crowds and for me that's something they did better than anyone else 😊.

I've added a couple of live tracks that I think should show what made this group so special 😁.

You Take My Breath Away live at Hyde Park ( 1976 ) followed by Someone To Love Canada. I've also added Don't Stop Me Now and the video for The Show Must Go On.

Rock on 😁😎

I've also added a documentary at the end , it's well worth a watch.
