Why it is here
- Written by Freddie Mercury and voiced by Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor multitracking to sound like a 100-voice gospel choir, it followed "Bohemian Rhapsody" in complex vocal layering but traded an English-choir sound for a gospel arrangement influenced by Aretha Franklin. source
- It was a staple of Queen's live sets from 1977 to 1985 and was later performed by George Michael at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. source
- The song was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. source
