Join us on this episode as we delve into the captivating story behind Queen's iconic track, "Somebody To Love," released in 1976. Discover why this particular song holds a special place in Freddie Mercury's heart, making it his personal favorite within the band's extensive repertoire.

During the mid-70s, Queen established themselves as a prominent force in the rock music scene. Their relentless touring schedule, consisting of sold-out concerts and recording sessions, propelled them to great success. However, amidst the whirlwind of their demanding careers, the band found moments to reflect and create new material.

Join us as we uncover the raw vulnerability and sheer musical genius that merged to produce this timeless anthem.
