Beatiful backing vocals in the "Queen" style and terrible solo by Brian makes this song blast off like a rocket.
I like this old things very much.

Thanks for posting!

Probably due to the fact Eddie was pimping out the song in the 90's. He had at least two separate CD-Single issues put out at the time.

yeah, he was sooooooo lucky. in fact his career skyrocketed after this collaboration. just take a peek at his Wiki page. what? you can't find it?
that's cos there isn;t one - because that "queen help/luck" amounted to a career of a handful of non-charting singles and an album
