Are You Ready For Freddie?

I first saw Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara) when he was a solo singer. He was the opening act for a band called Mountain featuring Leslie West. He was so different from anything else going at that time, that the audience didn't quite know what to make of him. All they knew was, "That guy sure can sing!" The breakthrough came when he joined lead guitarist Brian May and changed the name of their group to...

Queen

Weeks before their sold-out, mid 70's concerts, bumper stickers would appear on LA freeways that said, "Are you ready for Freddie?"

Freddie eventually died of Aids. It was no coincidence that many of the songs that he wrote were anticipating death...

Cream

By 1968, British musicians knew that they had conquered the world. Three of these young men felt that they were MUCH better musicians than anyone else; the cream of the crop. So they decided to form their own band and play their own psychedelic form of rythm & blues...
