Somebody To Love

Written by Freddie Mercury at the piano, "Somebody to Love" appeared on Queen's 1976 album A Day at the Races and reached number two in the UK and number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Through voice layering techniques, Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor created the sound of a 100-voice gospel choir, with Mercury's admiration for Aretha Franklin serving as a major influence for the song's creation.
