Information: - "Killer Queen" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was their first big international hit, reaching number two in the UK and becoming their first US hit. Written by lead singer and pianist Freddie Mercury, the track was recorded for their third album "Sheer Heart Attack". - "Another One Bites the Dust" is a 1980 song by British rock band Queen. Written by bass guitarist John Deacon, the song featured on the group's eighth studio album "The Game" (1980). The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 for three weeks, from October 4 to October 18 (their second number-one single in the country). The song spent fifteen weeks in the "Billboard" top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980) and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980). It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart. The song is credited as Queen's best-selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies. This version was ranked at number 34 on "Billboard's All-Time Top Songs". - "Don't Stop Me Now" is a song by the British rock band Queen, featured on their 1978 album "Jazz" that was released as a single in 1979. Written by lead singer Freddie Mercury, it was recorded in August 1978 at Super Bear Studios in Berre-les-Alpes (Alpes-Maritimes), France, and is the twelfth track on the album. - Hot Space is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 21 May 1982. Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work, they employed many elements of disco, funk, rhythm and blues, dance and pop music on the album. This made the album less popular with fans who preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band. - "Back Chat", written by the bass guitarist John Deacon, is the track most influenced by funk on the 1982 Queen album "Hot Space". Deacon had chosen a no-compromise method of eliminating any rock elements from his songs for "Hot Space". This act of defiance caused friction amongst fellow band members, particularly Brian May, who fought to retain at least some rock sensibilities in their funk diversions. After heated debate, the band finally decided to include a guitar solo on "Back Chat". It reached #40 on the UK Singles Chart, but was a #3 hit in France and a #19 entry in Ireland. - "Tie Your Mother Down" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by lead guitarist Brian May. It is the opening track and the second single from their 1976 album "A Day at the Races". On its original release as a single in 1977 the song peaked at 31 in the UK Singles Chart, however more than 20 years later it was released as a double a-side to "No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young)" where it reached 13 in UK Singles Chart. On the album the song is preceded by a one-minute instrumental intro featuring a Shepard tone melody, which is reprised in the ending of "Teo Torriatte": this was intended to create a "circle" in the album, typical, for example, of Pink Floyd's albums. - "Who Wants to Live Forever" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It is the sixth track on the album "A Kind of Magic", released in June 1986, and was written by lead guitarist Brian May for the soundtrack to the film "Highlander".

Written by guitarist Brian May, the track featured on their 1978 album "Jazz", and later on their compilation album, "Greatest Hits". When released as a single with "Bicycle Race", the song reached number 11 in the UK Singles Chart, and number 24 in the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the US. - Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid- 1960s when African American musicians created a rhythmic, danceable new form of music through a mixture of soul music, jazz, and rhythm and blues (R&B). Funk de-emphasizes melody and chord progressions used in other related genres and brings a strong rhythmic groove of a bass line played by an electric bassist and a drum part played by a drummer to the foreground. Funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord, distinguishing them from R&B and soul songs, which are built on complex chord progressions. Funk uses the same richly-colored extended chords found in bebop jazz, such as minor chords with added sevenths and elevenths, or dominant seventh chords with altered ninths. - The Works is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Queen , released in February 1984 . After the synth - heavy Hot Space , the album saw the re-emergence of Brian May and Roger Taylor 's rock sound , while still incorporating the early 80s retro futuristic electro pop of the German electronic underground ( Freddie Mercury ) and New York funk scenes ( John Deacon ) . Recorded at the Record Plant Studios and Musicland Studios from August 1983 to January 1984 , the album 's title comes from a comment Taylor made as recording began -- '' Let 's give them the works ! '' . During the decade , the band decided not to tour in North America and lost the top spot in US sales , but sales around the world ( especially Europe ) would be even better . The Works sold over 5 million copies worldwide . - Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; 5 September 1946 24 November 1991) was a British singer, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist and co-principal songwriter of the rock band Queen. He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Mercury wrote and composed numerous hits for Queen (including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and "We Are the Champions"); occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists; and concurrently led a solo career while performing with Queen. - Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the Western world as a softer alternative to rock and roll. The terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many styles. "Pop" and "rock" were synonymous terms until the late 1960s, when they were increasingly used in opposition from each other. - "I Want to Break Free" is a song by the British rock band Queen, originally from their eleventh album "The Works" (1984). Written by bass guitarist John Deacon, it was distributed as a single on 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl records and 3-inch and 5-inch CDs. The song has three versions: album, single and extended. It came to be included in most live concerts by the group, in several videos and in "The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert" where it was sung by Lisa Stansfield. - "We Will Rock You" is a song written by Brian May and recorded by Queen for their 1977 album "News of the World".

In 2009, "We Will Rock You" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. - Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated as R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. In the commercial rhythm and blues music typical of the 1950s through the 1970s, the bands usually consisted of piano, one or two guitars, bass, drums, saxophone, and sometimes background vocalists. R&B lyrical themes often encapsulate the African-American experience of pain and the quest for freedom and joy. Lyrics focus heavily on the themes of triumphs and failures in terms of relationships, freedom, economics, aspirations, and sex. - Disco is a genre of dance music containing elements of funk, soul, pop, and salsa. It achieved popularity during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Its initial audiences in the U.S. were club-goers from the gay, African American, Italian American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in Philadelphia and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco can be seen as a reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. It was popular with both men and women, from many different backgrounds. - "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album "A Night at the Opera". It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre. It was reportedly the most expensive single ever made at the time of its release, though the exact cost of production cannot be determined. - "We Are the Champions" is a song by the British rock band Queen, first released on their 1977 album "News of the World". Written by lead singer Freddie Mercury, it is one of Queen's most popular songs, and one of rock's most recognisable anthems. - "Hammer to Fall" is a 1984 song by the British rock band Queen. Written by guitarist Brian May, the song is the eighth track on their 1984 album "The Works". - John Richard Deacon (born 19 August 1951) is an English retired musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the rock band Queen.

It is defined by ANSI as the unit of frequency level when the base of the logarithm is two. The octave relationship is a natural phenomenon that has been referred to as the "basic miracle of music", the use of which is "common in most musical systems". - "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury in 1979, the track is featured on their 1980 album "The Game", and also appears on the band's compilation album, "Greatest Hits" in 1981.
