If you are unfamiliar with the original, just search YT for Elton John........but this is a great cover version nevertheless........CRANK IT UP........

[steve]

And here's another crackin cover...........

When Frampton Comes Alive came out in 1976 I bought the album and this track blew me away........first chance i got when my parents were out I put this on FULL BLAST on the stereo (Grundig Radiogram - anyone remember them?) and jumped around the room playing air guitar - great fun!!

Nobody does Freddie better than this man............

[Bootie]

 

[steve]

Vocal control and range are just great here.......this man deserves to be a star....(already posted several Freddie Mercury covers of his).

[Alien Heat]

Sunday Afternoon Chill..............before of course ramping up to some serious Combat Mission Black Sea action.

 

[Zinzan]

Weirdly enjoyable ear worm of a song - Still like it though (Yep, just plain weird.

 

[steve]

It just doesn't get any better than this........

In the 60's, english football fans sang Beatles songs at games......in 2017, 26 years after Freddie Mercury's death.. 65,000 people sang this....... enough said.

[Zinzan]

Came up on my random list - first time in years I've heard it.... Still good. (Ahhhh he thinks he has taste in music - ain't he cute)

I admit I was a huge Barry Manilow fan when he first hit the charts mid to late 70's. And this one remains my all-time favorite song. In an interview he said he hated doing this one because it was a serious strain on his voice. When I was singing along it was for me too.

 

[Zinzan]

Repeated several times on here (often by Zinzan) but tough SHIT it's still one of the greatest pieces of music ever - so NOT sorry.

 

[steve]

An interesting interpretation of a classic...........
