Freddie Mercury
b. Farrokh Bulsara, 5 September 1946, Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania, d. 24 November 1991, London, England. Best known as the flamboyant lead singer of the multi-million selling UK rock band Queen, Mercury also branched out into extra-curricular musical activities. In 1973, while Queen was about to release its debut album, Mercury recorded a revival of the Beach Boys' "I Can Hear Music" under the glam rock name Larry Lurex. It was not until late 1984 that he again attempted a solo work, this time with the UK Top 20 hit "Love Kills", from the new Giorgio Moroder soundtrack to Fritz Lang's Metropolis. A second solo single, "I Was Born To Love You", reached the UK Top 20 early the next year. A solo album and some lowly-placed solo singles followed.
