In 1979, Mercury wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
It was Queen’s first official No 1 single in America, which meant a huge deal to the British stars bearing in mind that Bohemian Rhapsody had only made it to No 6 and We Are The Champions had stalled at No 4.
Freddie was never one to miss a chance to reveal a cheeky trick and happily told everyone where the inspiration for the song hit him, as well as why he sounded like Elvis on the track.
He admitted: “My voice does sound a bit like Elvis Presley’s on Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
